eventalarm says "Could not recreate lock file. /n" under RH7.3 and Informix 7.31.UD2
This one is stumping me ....
I'm using Art's eventalarm script (thanks!) from utils3 to do my
ontape switching automagically. However, after each log archival
event ("Severity=2, Class=23") I get the following output in
eventalarm.log:
Oct 01 13:48:11 :NonFatal Event: Severity=2, Class=23.
Oct 01 13:48:11 :5 args passed
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Arg 0: "/opt/informix/etc/eventalarm".
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Arg 1: "2".
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Arg 2: "23".
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Arg 3: "Logical Log 2932 Complete.".
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Arg 4: "Logical Log 2932 Complete.".
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Removing old lock file.
Oct 01 13:48:11 :Could not recreate lock file. /n
I assumed this was a permissions problem (after looking at the
eventalarm.c code), and have the following permissions in
/opt/informix/bin:
-rwsr-sr-- 1 root informix 5823718 May 11 2002 oninit
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root informix 1194954 May 11 2002 ontape
Informix is:
drwxr-xr-x 21 informix informix 4096 Oct 1 13:27 informix
and informix/ is:
drwxrwx--- 2 informix informix 4096 May 11 2002 aaodir

Next was eventalarm, which is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 30324 May 28 18:30 eventalarm
<Changing this to root.informix didn't help much>
I also checked on the logs, which are:
-rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 0 Sep 22 00:03 archive
-rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 952631296 Oct 1 12:33 log
Which, are, as far as I can tell (I'm probably missing something)
correct. What am I missing?
Any help would be much appreciated.
