savepnpc stops process but won't restart it

[ttroxell]

Hi,

I have a process to stop a database before the backup, and restart it after the backup completes.

The process stops the database, but can't restart it after the backup runs. The message reported is:

# more savepnpc.log
09/16/03 23:15:05 preclntsave: All command(s) ran successfully.
09/16/03 23:15:05 preclntsave: The tmp file for the group exists. Another savepnpc may be running. Else, please remove the <group>.tmp file.

09/17/03 01:52:08 pstclntsave: Not all command(s) ran successfully.
09/17/03 01:52:08 pstclntsave: Exited.

This is my savepnpc script.

more MEDIABANK.res
type: savepnpc;
precmd: &quot;/apps/mediabank/iskill&quot;;
pstcmd: &quot;/apps/mediabank/isstart&quot;, &quot;/bin/sleep 5&quot;;
timeout: &quot;12:00:00&quot;;
abort precmd with group: No;

Thanks,

What happens if you run /apps/mediabank/iistart from terminal console on your client? Do you get an error?

No errors. The command starts the database.

Change your MEDIABANK.res file to this:

type: savepnpc;
precmd: &quot;/apps/mediabank/iskill&quot;;
pstcmd: &quot;/apps/mediabank/isstart >isstart.out 2>&1&quot;, &quot;/bin/sleep 5&quot;;
timeout: &quot;12:00:00&quot;;
abort precmd with group: No;

and run the backup again. Post the isstart.out file so I can see why its failing.
