cron job message

[Ervin Liu]

I got an messgage from /var/adm/cron/log.The message is like:
! c queue max run limit reached Wed Jan 3 15:54:04 EST 2001
! rescheduling a cron job Wed Jan 3 15:54:04 EST 2001 "

Is this message indicating a problem.if so,how to fix it.

thanks

I had a similar problem and looked it up using the "search" on the ITRC. My problem was too many jobs scheduled.This is what I had saved from that incident; Hope it helps:

Modify the queuedefs file:
# vi /var/adm/cron/queuedefs
a.4j1n --> change this to the following line
a.10j1n
Stop Cron:
# ps -ef |grep cron
# kill {cron_pid}
NOTE: This defaults to a -15 which kills nicely.
Restart cron:
# /sbin/init.d/cron

That example is sent increases the limit from 4 to 10 simultaneous jobs. I just did another search and found the link to that solution...

Hi,

if this is a problem or not depends on your needs. Do you want more batch jobs to run simultaneously or are you satisfied with the current settings.
Increasing the queue definitions will allow to have more batch jobs simultaneously, but this will increase the system load harming online users.
However if the queue definition is too low, you could have more batch jobs being launched than jobs are completed.
