1076.0. "Scheduler startup problems..." by DECWET::WHITE (Surfin' with the Alien) Mon Apr 22 1996 19:29

Our Operator called me this weekend and said that the scheduler engine sent an
error to the console on startup stating the scheduler did not startup properly,
and to notify the system administrator...

I've looked through the docs quickly, do not see a section on trouble-shooting
startup issues...

I have not touched it since the reboot this weekend, in case you people want me to post
logs or something...

what's the recommended trouble-shooting procudure here?

I want to make sure this thing is going to start up on a reboot before
I start creating jobs and stuff.

1076.2Trace information at startup timeMUZICK::MORIARTYTue Apr 23 1996 21:4629
    
    Stephen,
    
    The best approach is similar note 1065.6 for the engine
    startup:
    
     # /var/sched/scheduler_startup.sh 'ENGINE -1 -1 -1 3'
    
    	or with V2.1 agent support use:
    
     # /var/sched/scheduler_startup.sh 'ENGINE -1 -1 -1 3 -1 -1 -1 1' 
    
     Then let us know what is in the lengthly engine log file (named
     <nodename>_engine.log). This is the best process to follow.
      
    In general there is a file called trace_parameter.dat in the
    directory /var/sched/tmp. I tell people to rename that file
    to sched_parameter.dat and place it in the /var/sched directory.
    
    Then use the "#/var/sched/scheduler_startup.sh menu" and pick 
    menu option "4)  Startup file". Or just execute the command
    after moving the file (please save old sched_parameter.dat).
    
    # /var/sched/scheduler_startup.sh file
    
    Please do this and let us know what the log is telling you.

I don't think the problem is with starting up the
product on the running system, I think the problem is
with starting up the product when the system boots...

Thus the concern, if the system crashes late at night and
we have a job schedule running, the product won't
start and our jobs won't run.

What I was looking for is some kind of startup log that
would give us a clue as to why the product would not start
on boot up.

Also, since we have installed scheduler, the UNIX host has
started crashing every couple of hours...we are not sure
what the cause is, but one thing we do know is that since we
have not started it...the system stays up.

So I guess I need to chase down this problem first.

Is there indeed a startup log for scheduler for when a system is
coming up from a reboot?
