Mksysb message
Hello,

I'm starting a mksysb with the help of a unix script and the crontab.
The script is scheduled with crontab and executes "mksysb -i -X /dev/rmt0".
When the mksysb is completed the script displays the endtime.

But I also get a lot of cat messages (see below). When I look with "ps -ef | grep mksysb" I still see some mksysb processes.

Any suggestions?

Peter

The mksysb process creates, uses and removes a temp directory, but some other process is attempting to access it even after the mksysb has finished. Are you using TSM? See the TSM APAR IC46825.

No, I don't use TSM

Kind regards,
Peter
