Some time ago I posted an article describing a problem I was having
with the CPS (create process server) command. The problem was that
I could invoke a server on some nodes but not on other, apparently
identical, nodes. The processes would work correctly in a window, but
not in background. The problem was that /dev/null had been corrupted
on some nodes. The server could not redirect its output to /dev/null
and crashed. The solution is to copy /dev/null (really, it's
`node_data/dev/null) from another node.
I don't know what happenened to /dev/null but a couple of our nodes
had this problem. You can test for it by trying to redirect the output
of a shell command to /dev/null.
