c queue max run limit reached

[Dany De Bontridder]

I often get the message from the cron,
c queue max run limit reached; it is an HPUX 11.00 and I don't know how to solve it.

Someone can help me ?

Can you give us some more details about what you schedule with your cron? Can you post the output from "crontab -l"?

Check your /var/adm/cron/queuedefs file to see what is specified for the c (for cron) queue.

Sorry, I should have also mentioned that you should check the man page for queuedefs:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90682/queuedefs.4.html

I can't send the crontab -l output sorry, about the queue I have
>more /var/adm/cron/queuedefs
a.4j1n
b.2j2n90w

That's all, nothing about c.

Thanks you for the documentation about the queues, can I use them to have more jobs than the max limit ? If yes, how ?

[Pete Randall]

According to the man page, the limit for all queues is 100. You've got 4 in the at queue and 2 in the batch queue, leaving you 94 in the cron queue. You must have a heck of lot of cron jobs. Maybe you can spread them out to different times?
