It should fail. Check the return code. It should be 1. You need more parameters.
root@sysview (/)# oslevel -r 5100-04 NetView 7.1.3 I've tried that from the beginning. Even running just X -vfb at the command prompt returns the usage statement. I guess I should refer this question to an AIX list instead since this is certainly an issue with AIX and not NetView. I was just really hoping that you had the answer. All I did was reboot. I just don't understand. Thanks.

The script is backgrounding the command, that is, using the &, but the shell is passing the & to X11vfb, rather than handling it. That's the problem, but I'm not sure of what the cure is... that is, what behavior the author of the script had in mind. There is an open APAR against the same behavior during installation. You could change the startXvfb to use nohup and use 2>&1 > /dev/null ahead of the ampersand... That is, try this: nohup /usr/bin/X11/X -vfb -n :2 2>&1 > /dev/null & The problem can still be coming from the fact that a script or program is calling a script. Tell me if that changes anything.

I haven't rebooting the server in almost a year and after doing some maintenance I rebooted. Now I can't get vfb started. All I get is the usage statement. There was no response to this message, but I'm hoping Brian is still around to give me some pointers.

I am trying to start the X11 vfb for the web console daemon netviewd - but when I run startXvfb it gives me a usage statement and does not start. It was working for months until we rebooted the server this morning. I have tried re-installing the X11.vfb package, but it still fails. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Thanks, Brian Brian W.
