Oh I found my answer in this Technote on IBM's website.... Is there a way to cause the "unirpcd" to timeout?
Problem "unirpcd" requires a series of communication handshakes between the client and server component before a service can be open and closed down. If one of these handshakes is missing then the "unirpcd" will hang in a wait / listening state thereby by "hanging" the "unirpcd" daemon. This problem creates a situation where no new rpc services can be started. A timeout parameter was created to allow unirpcd abandon waiting for the other part of the incoming request after a certain time so that it can accept new requests. This fix is the result of a number of cases where the unirpcd is left hanging waiting for input from the client and the unirpcd daemon never getting it. The addition of this parameter is the result of ECASE 5040 and applies to UniVerse 10.x and UniData 6.x Cause "unirpcd" was hanging due to client session not responding with information for the "unirpcd" to process Solution NOTE: This applies to UNIX and Linux systems. The "unirpcd" daemon can be started "manually" with a timeout value. The syntax is as follows: ...../unirpcd -timeout300 There is no space between "-timeout" and the actual value. The timeout value is in units of "seconds". In this case, the time is for 300 seconds. The minimum meaningful timeout value is "1". Note: This must be done at the command line. Existing menus, procedures, and other code that already have a start sequence in them to start the "unirpcd" will have to be changed to include this parameter. Until then, these automated process will continue to start the "unirpcd" without any timeout value. - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 12:11 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Unirpc Firewall? -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com ** Check out scheduled Connect! training courses at http://www.PrecisOnline.com/train.html. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patricia Wilson Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 9:33 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Unirpc Has anyone seen, or have any idea why the Unirpc service would just stop working? You could grep the service and see it there, but no other systems could to 'talk' to the box in question, and would eventually come back with the message saying no unirpc connection. Thoughts?
