- Greetings,
-
- On an RS/6000 running AIX 3.1, all of the queues stopped servicing requests.
-
- "enq -A" showed that all devices were READY and all print jobs were QUEUED.
- Attempting to crank the queues back up with "enq -P queue:device -U" yielded
-
- enq: (WARNING): 0781-174 Cannot signal qdaemon. Errno = 3.
- enq: errno = 3: The process does not exist.
- enq: (WARNING): 0781-162 Cannot awaken qdaemon (request accepted anyway).
-
- Invoking chque gave similar results. So...I invoked "/bin/startsrc -sqdaemon"
- and qdaemon started back up and the queues began servicing requests again.
-
- Question: what could have caused qdaemon to stop running? This is a fairly
- unburdened system (350 MB free disk space, 32MB RAM, low-activity data entry
- tasks). Before restarting qdaemon, ps -eal looked like
