We did an up2date last night, which updated a few things in RedHat 9.0 including the kernel. Looking at the logs, the Domino 6.0.1 server crashed on shutdown, or maybe even on update:
05/19/2003 10:19:27 PM Chronos: Full text indexer terminating
Child Terminated from signal 9
Mon May 19 22:28:55 Running cleanup script
NSD is in progress …
The NSD log file is an empty file.
After rebooting the domino server came up fine, it’s sending and receiving email and you can open databases from it and replicate to it. The problem is that the log.nsf and the on screen log look like this:
05/20/2003 11:23:19 AM 33:07: 0A:4C
05/20/2003 11:23:50 AM 05:01
05/20/2003 11:24:24 AM 33:07: 0A:4C
05/20/2003 11:24:50 AM 05:01
05/20/2003 11:25:24 AM 33:07: 0A:4C
There is an occasional text message from the router:
05/20/2003 11:28:05 AM Router: Skipping this remote destination - HOLLY/DANCRAI: 0A:4C
But apart from that all I get is screens full of numbers. I think they are lookup references to text errors and something is wrong with the lookup. I haven’t been able to work out why this is appearing, I think the 0A:4C is supposed to clue me in on this one…
Has anyone seen this before? Is anyone running the latest patched kernel on RedHat 6.0 with no problems so I can eliminate that as a cause without rebooting into the old kernel?
I suspect Domino has trouble finding string resources. You could try to change LANG environment parameter. Do you set it explicitly on launch? export LANG=C
I have exactly the same problem, on a Solaris 9 box with Domino 6.5.2.
The Domino Server console is just showing these hexadecimal values, exactly the same as you’ve seen.

The server is running, as I can connect to it from a client, but obviously there must be a reason for the server to be display these values. (writes the same to the log)
I have tried the export LANG=C option, as well as PLATFORM_CSID in notes.ini, but if anyone has any other options, I would appreciate it.
Jonathan, did you find a solution to this problem?
Fixed the problem, not long after posting my original message. It seems that the locale settings were not setup correctly for the ‘notes’ user. Once we set them up with Australian charsets, the server came up properly…
So, LANG=C is a good start, but C was not the right locale for us.
