System Daemon Messages

This appendix explains the SUPER-UX system daemon messages for each daemon. These messages are classified into the following six levels:

  1. Alert messages

    Indicates that an error requiring prompt action (for example, reorganization of a system database) was detected. Take the action indicated by the daemon message.

  2. Critical messages

    Indicates that an error requiring prompt action (for example, hardware device error) was detected. Take the action indicated by the daemon message.

  3. Error messages

    Indicates that a daemon detected an error. Take the action indicated by the daemon message.

  4. Warning messages

    Warning message from a daemon. A warning message is displayed when a temporary error occurs or when an error occurs in a limited function. Take the action indicated by the daemon message.

  5. Notice messages

    Message for a notice event that occurs in a daemon. A notice message is displayed to call the system administrator's attention to the event that occurred. Take the action indicated by the daemon message.

  6. Information messages

    Message directed to the system administrator

For each level, system daemon messages are explained in alphabetical order.
