Re: Pilotmgr crashing for unknown reason

["Zuberi,A." <asimzuberi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

 My settings are as follows; but the Pilotmgr still crashes!!!! The cradle is
connected to `ttyb`. I have tried several options within `admintool`, but
there wasn't any luck.


==============================================================================
[diy]-[asim]->eeprom | grep -i ignore-cd
ttyb-ignore-cd=false
ttya-ignore-cd=false
==============================================================================

[diy]-[asim]-> pmadm -l
zsmon          ttymon         ttyb           u    root     /dev/term/b cI -
/usr/bin/login - 38400 ldterm,ttcompat ttyb login:  - vt100 y  #Terminal -
Hardwired
