Hi.

Yesterday, I installed the patches

PHSS_32928 PHSS_32864 PHNE_23289 PHNE_23288 PHKL_23316 PHKL_23315
PHKL_23314 PHKL_23313 PHKL_23312 PHKL_23311 PHKL_23310 PHKL_23309
PHKL_23308 PHKL_23307 PHKL_23306 PHKL_23305 PHKL_23304 PHKL_23303
PHKL_23302 PHKL_23301 PHKL_23300 PHKL_23299 PHKL_23298 PHKL_23297
PHKL_23296 PHKL_23295 PHKL_23294 PHKL_23293 PHKL_23292 PHKL_23291
PHKL_23290 PHCO_28160 PHCO_23340

Since then, I cannot start /usr/bin/ksh anymore. I cleared the $HOME
directory (moved it away and did a mkdir $HOME). I also
moved /etc/profile out of the way.

When I run /usr/bin/ksh with tusc (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/tusc-7.7/)
and get the following output. Command I ran:

        /usr/local/bin/tusc /usr/bin/ksh

Any ideas, why it's hanging/sleeping?

Thanks a lot,
