AIX install assist

From Wikistix

Occasionally, I've found recently installed or upgraded AIX systems that do not appear to complete normal startups, that is they apparently hang during starting up.

This may be due to the fact that the post-install configuration utility has never completed successfully, and continues to prompt on the console. This can be checked by:

# grep install /etc/inittab
install_assist:2:wait:/usr/sbin/install_assist </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1
#

If the system has been manually configured, the line may be safely removed:

# rmitab install_assist
#
