Unable to kill a job

[wamason]

I tried killing a job that had a tape stuck in the drive. I got the tape out but the drive, but the job still shows active. I tried killing the job several times without success.

Try kill -9 on the process (if on a Unix server)
or "end process" via Task manager (if on an NT server)
or you can delete the job from /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs... pick up the job number from the Job Monitor, then delete the job from that directory. It is advisable to bounce Netbackup after you have done this or even better reboot the server.

Here is a script that I wrote (You need to enter in the job ID into JOBID=d:/Veritas/ScriptFiles/Delete_Hung_Jobs/job_id.txt):


#!/bin/ksh
#
#
###############################################################################
#
# Name: Delete_Hung_Jobs_KILL.ksh
# Purpose: This script is part 2. The first gathers all the
# information and this deletes the information to clear the
# event log in the GUI.

Thanks a lot.

I use it in Windows but I have the MKS Toolkit installed - i.e. Unix utilities for Windows.

perhaps you could try from a DOS command window
...\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpdbjobs -cancel JobID#
