Hello,

when the application-admin starts a specific software on my AIX 5.3 every 10 minutes he gets the text "Access is denied" to his terminal. But his logs don't show any errors. Also the error-log is empty.
How can I find out, which action/command/script returns in this message on his screen?

Thank four help,
Janko

Janko,

Have you tried to start that application using truss : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds3/man.htm

With truss, I can see the message in the output, but I can not identify what caused it.

You could use syslog.

1.Edit syslog.conf

#vi /etc/syslog.conf

2.Add the following line.
*.debug /tmp/syslog.out

3.
#refresh -s syslogd

Now you can just keep track of syslog.out.

Syslog didn't help, because it does not log anything (except the refresh of syslogd itself).

Now I'll try truss.
