cronjobs - is there any max limit?

[makhs]

Hi,

is there any setting on hp-ux (11i and 11.23) that determines the maximum number of concurrent cronjobs?

Do a man 4 queuedefs

Hi Clay,

based on the man page, the first entry "a" refers to at jobs and the second entry "b" refers to batch jobs. Does that mean adding a "c" setting will refer to cronjobs?

If there are no other entries besides the below specified, does the max concurrent cronjobs take the default value of 100?

# cat /var/adm/cron/queuedefs
a.4j1n
b.2j2n90w


thanks

Hi,

By default cron has a limit of 100 jobs for all the queues ( ie at/batch/cron), you can disable this limit by changing the variable DISABLE_MAXJOB_LIMIT from 0 to 1 in /etc/default/cron.

Hi Makhs

There is a patch for 11.11

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHCO_35331&sel={hpux:11.11,}&BC=main|search|
You can install it without reboot

I think 11.23 fix this problem
