iMS 5.1 - Sol8 - ims_master

Hi,

is it normal behaviour that ims_master starts up and shuts down every minute?

Yes that is normal. The ims-ms master program only runs when there is mail to be delivered to the store.-Chris

I have the same log in imta with messaging Server 5.2. Why the log say "General Warning"? For me, this is a WARNING !!!.Is it really a normal behavior?Thanks,Oscar Armando.

I met the same warning info:

I searched several documents and found useful sentences in iMS5.2 Release Notes(Part # 816-6456-10 February 2003):

On both Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 8 platforms, applications that are linked with the 32-bit libthread /usr/lib/libthread.so) or the 64-bit libthread /usr/lib/sparcv9/libthread.so.1) library might hang. This bug can affect any process at startup, particularly utilities in scripts (such as mboxutil) as well as processes that are frequently started like the ims_master channel.

Who can make sure it's just the warning reason in iMS5.1(and patch1) ?

Will it be resolved after adding the OS patch as what the following says?

SPARC Solaris 8 with 108827-35

Thanks and regards,

Roger

ims_master is designed to shut down, if there's no work for it to perform. What you see is normal operation for a quite server.

You can configure the lifetime of this process, as documented.

There is nothing to worry about, the message is not a warning of anything bad, it's just a statement that the process has stopped/started
