Question :
4100A ver 4.0D patch #2

Hi All ,
        I am getting the following messages in my cron
log file . :

! MAXRUN (25) procs reached Sun Feb 28 03:15:00 1999
! rescheduling a cron job Sun Feb 28 03:15:00 1999

Can anyone confirm whether I can fix this via the queuedefs file
or if there is another fix/patch available .

Answer : Thanks to those who replied .
        Yep it's broke . My 4.0B Patch #7 and 4.0D patch#2
        don't read the queuedefs file . Cron has MAXRUN set to 25 .
        Patch #3 for 4.0D seems to have the fix (as well as 4.0E)
        Queuedefs file will include max_jobs=X and log=(1-4)
        to allow you some control .


Thanking you ,
