OT: SCO Release 5 reboots upon printing from filePro

[Tom Podnar]

Hmmmm.
One other thing to look at would be a marginal power supply.
Printing and a backup would hit system resources just a bit harder. A marginal power supply might cause reboots in cases like this.
I've had that happen on multiple PCs, although never on a UNIX/Linux server. But the effect would be the same.

Run the memory check as I think someone else mentioned, remembering that memory failures may also be caused by marginal power.
Make sure you haven't lost a critical cooling fan.

Marked OT since the problem stems from the OS not filePro.

If I do:  l |lp

directory listing prints no poblem ...  If I print a report or anything
from within my filePro application server reboots.

My printer is defined as lp -dlazen -o raw -s within printer configuration.

Same happens if I attempt to run a backup using

tar cfF - /tmp/list |gzip > /my_full_backup.gz

One more point is as it gets to "login" prompt after rebooting, it goes
through boot cycle again.  Not sure why but if I let it boot by itself, it
is less likely to reboot before it gives me a "login" prompt - When I go
through the motions of pressing ENTER and CTRL-D, it reboots after pressing
CTRL-D.

I am in trouble I know, but how/what can I do to at least get a clean
backup?

Regards,
