Re: IDS shutting down by itself
I’m very familiar with the old “net stop blah” game since I have done it thousands of times and have used tasks to do that. But there is nothing set up to do that now. There could be on another server on the network but we do not have access to those machines – only the Informix server. The network admin swears that there is nothing running on the network to do that. I have also looked in “sysadmin:ph_task” and find nothing that would run at those times or do a shutdown. I feel it is some bug in 11.70.TC1IE . They will not let me upgrade to TC3 until Oct or Nov when their busy season is over. Meanwhile they boot 2-4 times a day and the IDS is killed at 4:33 or 4:38 or 4:40 on some days. I will hang on for awhile until I can upgrade. If that does not fix it then I suppose their admin is mistaken. Meanwhile, I have scheduled a reboot at 04:45 as a Windows task so the morning whining will stop .

Also check other machines scheduler, may be someone sends those service stop over the network. Mfg Joerg Volz Am 23.08.2011 um 16:45 schrieb "Bill Hamilton" <garage_dba@hotmail.com>: Nope.

I keep getting this message every Monday morning (and other days sometimes) at about the same time in the IDS log: “ 04:33:07 Service was shut-down externally. “ And then someone from that company has to come in early and restart IDS . Their IT staff disavows anything of theirs doing this. I have turned off the automatic Auto Update Statistics stuff, but this one continues. Any ideas on what to it could be? _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list IT Handel und Beratung Jörg Volz Bernhard-Früh-Str. 7 77855 Achern GERMANY Tel: +49 (0)7841-681651 Fax: +49 (0)7841-681654 Mobil: +49 (0)170-2989757 VAT-ID: DE201383541 http://www.it-volz.de
