Hi all. I noticed that several processes running as phantoms in Universe 10.1.2 on HP-UX B.11.00 started their daily work one hour late since the new daylight savings time change.
These phantom processes have been running for several months and they are basically PQ procs that uses the SLEEP command in a loop like the sample proc here: PQ 10 C SLEEP 12:00 COMO ON PROCESS 'do some processing PHANTOM START.SUB.PHANTOM.PROCESS 'do some processing COMO END GO 10 We noticed these phantoms process were doing their work late because the sub-phantoms process started exactly one hour late according to the "ps" command. What is intersting is that the time-stamp in the the COMO file indicates the phantom process woke up at the correct time to run the sub-phantom process. The system clock of the OS (HP-UX) is correct and relfects the new dayligth savings time. So I suspect that phantoms which started on the system prior to the daylight savings time change has inherited the old system time and does not use the updated system time. The problem went away after we re-started those phantom processes. We don't recall ever had this kind of problem in the past when daylight savings time kicks in so I'm not sure what happened. Does anyone has similar problem? Thanks. Jason ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
