2854.0. "PAMS-E-RESRCFAIL error make DMQ not running" by TPOVC::HCLIN () Mon Apr 21 1997 06:43

Hello,
	We have installed the DMQ V3.2 to Digital UNIX V3.2F,
	but every 9th day DMQ will get PAMS-E-RESRCFAIL and today
	is the 4th times happen. The timing is always on 4:30 AM. 
	It seems relative to crontabs, Digital UNIX remove /var/tmp
	at that time; but after last times I already mark that statement
	as comment, today 4:30 AM DMQ still got the PAMS-E-RESRCFAIL
	again. We are using DMQ on IC FAB, we can't shutdown/restart DMQ
	every time when this error happen.

	May I ask DMQ will remove /var/tmp/dmq/... files or some files
	let dmqmonc show out dmq is not starting, but the total 6 processes
	dmqbcp, dmqgcp, dmqqe and 3 dmqld's are still in system.

	Does somebody has this experience ?

Thanks,	hc	

    
    when you commented out the crontab line did you tell  cron
    that there was a new crontab file so  it could re-read the
    file and omit the entry you commented out ?  rebooting has
    the same effective result.   if you  don't  do  this  then
    cron is using the old file.   it is on the  man  page  for
    cron or crontab (i forget which)

re >.1
	I already did it.

	Because some files in /var/tmp still in there did not
	delete by cron.

thanks,	hc

    
    you updated the crontab and told cron to read the new file
    and you still have the problem ?  i assure you that we  do
    nothing special at 4:30 AM every few days.  it has  to  be
    cron.
