Very Computer

Hi,

I encountered the above error message when running the UNIX command "rpcs".
Anybody know about this problem?? How to resolve this problem??
Thank you very much.

Provided you realy mean 'ipcs' instead of 'rpcs' you can try the following:

Add the following lines to /etc/system to make sure the facilities are
loading during next boot.

The file /etc/system must be edited - up to three lines must be added in
the "forceload" section, dependent on the facilities required.

   forceload: sys/shmsys
   forceload: sys/msgsys
   forceload: sys/semsys

Hope this works out for you.

In Solaris 7 ipcs was changed to print "facility inactive", which is less
confusing to humans but upset test suites, so the message may just be removed
altogether someday.
