One of our aix 4.3.3 machine gives no errpt output.
But i've checked things against another aix machine which
does.
There's process
/usr/lib/errdemon running.
And files
/var/adm/ras/errtmplt
/var/adm/ras/errlog

are there too
So what else are missing?

If sendmail is running -
Find PID and kill -9
Always puts an error in the errpt for failing module of sendmail.
Try that......if its not running, start it and kill it.
(quick and dirty)

There are other proggies out there that will create errpts: (example)
http://www.mort.level5.net/johnr/c-source/error2.txt
but you have to compile it.
Puts a permanent hdisk0 error in report.

you can trying :
#/usr/lib/errstop
#rm /var/adm/ras/errlog
#/usr/lib/errdemont
than run "errpt" command check error log
example:
#errpt
IDENTIFIER TIMESTAMP T C RESOURCE_NAME DESCRIPTION
9DBCFDEE 0730164103 T O errdemon ERROR LOGGING TURNED ON
GOOD LUCK!

.... errlogger HELLO

gives an entry with label Operator Notification and the text HELLO

to write entires to the error log entries. (Sorry, no
