The cron
daemon on one of my HP boxes is giving the following error:
Quote:
c queue max run limit reached <date>
! rescheduling a cron job <date>
|
I checked the queuedefs man page, and it has left me a bit confused. The man page says:
Quote:
njob
The maximum number of jobs that can be run simultaneously in that queue. Although any number can be specified here, the total number of jobs that can be run on all the queues is limited to 100.

So this means that no more than 100 cronjobs can be run at one time (we do not use at and batch on this system).
The /var/adm/cron/queuedefs file does not have a line for cron, so it should be picking up the default value. But in
this post, Perderabo says that the default value is also 100. If that is the case, have I already reached the maximum? And if so, do I have any choice, other than having a cronjob that restarts cron every day or so?
-EDIT:
Here's the uname -a o/p:
HP-UX xxxxx B.11.11 U 9000/800
