HP-UX 11.x has an annoying “feature” that if the machine is booted headless (no kb/monitor) it beeps incessantly. Now that my visualize C3000 workstation has HP-UX running smoothly on it I’ve move it to the closet in my office to free up some space in the office. That worked fine except once I had the system without a monitor it was beeping 3 times every 15 seconds. A quick search of the hp-ux docs I have here gave me this little nugget to disable dtlogin. (no point in a graphical login if it’s in the closet)
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d
If I decide to re-enable the graphical login again I can simply do a:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
Just thought I’d share that tidbit as it was driving me batty for 10 minutes.
