Did you choose to mount '/' as 'user' rather than 'system' during the install? Check the output of 'mount' to find out. >Executing this script from the command line yeilds: > >$ /tmp/update_view defaria >update_view: Warning: View pname does not exist: defaria > >View pnames should be UNC names that lead to the top of the view >For example: //sons-clearcase/Views/<viewname> I believe you need to alter the permissions of the 'SYSTEM' account so that it can access the network. I might be wrong on this. Check the email archives for similar discussions on cron. This *has* come up before.
