top doa?

[ericmurphy]

Today, for some reason, when I tried to run the Unix command "top," I get the following response:

top: kvm_nlist

and nothing else happened.

I tried it under several different accounts on the machine, with the same results. When I logged in remotely via ssh and tried to run the command, I'd just get logged out.

Every other Unix command seems to work normally. Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

I had this happen once or twice, not to top but to other more or less random commands. After booting single user and running fsck a once or twice, everything worked OK. Perhaps something to try, I guess

Hey, what do you know? It worked. Thanks for the tip...
