Help! Runaway dtcnmp.log

[Fred Martin_1]

After watching /var steadily grow in size for several days I have found that the log file: /var/opt/dtcmgr/log/dtcnmp.log is filling up with error messages:

<4017> : timeout waiting for response from DTC

A new message appears about once per second. All of my DTCs appear to be functioning properly.

Can't zero out the file, tried that.

Questions - can I stop / restart the dtcnmd daemon without booting all the users? Will a reboot cure this?

RSVP ASAP, thanks!

Ok, resolved it on my own.

I found the scripts "kill_dtc_daemons" and "start_dtc_daemons" in the directory /opt/dtcmgr/tools.

This both cleared the log and stopped the error, apparently caused by a DTC on the WAN that had been booted several times by repeated power failures.

I ran them at a time when all users were logged out so I do not know what effect this would have had on users currently connected via DTCs.
