- Unless you change it in the ODM SRCsubsys object class, srcmstr
- should not restart named:
-
- # uname -s -r -v
- AIX 2 3
-
- # odmget -q 'subsysname=named' SRCsubsys | grep action
- action = 2
-
- # fgrep ONCE /usr/include/spc.h
- #define ONCE 2 /* do not restart subsystem */
-
- If it dies, it dies. The only thing srcmstr does when it dies is
- to write a error in the error log. (The famous SOFTWARE PROGRAM
- TERMINATED ABNORMALLY).
-
- If you're getting multiple named running is not because of
- srcmstr.
