Gawk process killed

[dnivraramuk]

HI,
I am trying to run a GAWK program. When I am running it standalone from the shell prompt, its running fine, but when I am calling that program in a batch program, the program is getting killed:

splitting_routine.sh[104]: 14964 Killed

I am using AIX 4.3 with gawk version 3.0.5
I am not sure why is it happening. Any help would be really helpful.

regards,
Arvind

From man batch():
batch executes commands when system load levels permit;
in other words, when the load average drops below
0.8, or the value specified in the invocation of
atrun.
<snip>
At and batch as presently implemented are not suitable
when users are competing for resources. If this is the
case for your site, you might want to consider another
batch system, such as nqs.

Put that together and that's my best guess.
You have a working sytem handling requests and the batch job gets kicked
off when the load goes up.
