Cron error

[Sudhir_8]

Hi,
I am getting following error in cron log.
"c queue max run limit reached" Where as my queuedefs file is configured for max. number of cron queues.
a.40j1n
b.2j2n90w
c.100jyn

How can I find out which cron job is running in loop for that particular time.

Hi Sidhir,

The configuration file /var/adm/cron/queuedefs specifies how many cronjobs can be handled by cron simultaneously.

It's usually in this format.

c.xjyn

This meanx 'x' number of cronjobs can run simultaneously.

First of all check your crontab to see what jobs are scheduled at what time and see if there are any process / jobs hung. Kill them first.

Then you can modify the queuedefs above and change the value x to a higher number and restart cron using /sbin/init.d/cron script.
