WARNING: A log backup is already running. Can't start another.

Hello, I've two servers on same machine. Server A, Server B. I've two scripts: ALARMPROGRAM for server A and ALARPROGRAM for Server B. "Onbar -l" in server B run OK. But "onbar -l" on server A don't run. When this message ocurred, I test server with "onbar -u, onbar -g act, onbar -g ath". I don't see any proccess like "ontape". Why !!. I don't understand nothing. Can I help me ?. System: IDS.731.UC2 HP-UX 10.20

1.) you cant see ontape, when you use onbar. Try "ps -ef|grep onbar". 2.) "WARNING: A log backup is already running. Can't start another." is normal even if you have only one server. It means, that an onbar is saving a logfile right now and the next logfile became full while the backup of the last one was still in progress. A new onbar cant be started, but the actual onbar will save the second logfile also. 3.) Hmmmm, two servers .... maybe there will occur this problems also .... never thought about this .... maybe you have to use a second process "onbar1" or something like this ... Regards W.Pichler Dpto.
