Hi,

I'm not sure whether this will help you ...
But have a look at this:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=839183

And there's something else I found at

http://unix.ittoolbox.com/groups/te...m-aix-l/error-0481087-cronjob-not-run-703626#

Here's the exact text:

"Check the njob variable in /var/adm/cron/queuedefs file. Somehow you've exceeded the max simutaneous cron jobs parameters or exceeded the maximum amout of system process allowed. You can also check to see if the maxuproc variable in you system settings needs to be increased.

lsattr -El sys0|grep maxuproc.

To modify this parameter, run smit chgsys."

I think the max number of jobs defaults to 50.

Look in /var/cron/adm/queuedefs - if its the original (most likely) there will only be comments describing how to set it up.

You will want to add an entry that looks something like this:

c.200

This will change the cron job limit to 200. Once you make (and save) this change, you will need to restart cron so that it picks up the change.

* 200 is just an arbitrary number I picked for this example - use an appropriate value for your system.

Hmm.... I somehow forgot the rest of that queuedef line. It should look something like this:

c.200j20n60w
