The CSNOTIFY process keeps sending this reminder over and over again via email like its stuck in a loop. I deleted the event that its sending with the "cscomponents" command line utility, and even restarted the calendar server, but the "csnotify" process keeps sending the event and the "csnotify" process is running at 20%.
What can I do to eliminate this problem?
We had the same problem after DST patching months ago,,,
Our calendar server was sending large amount of email notifications (about 10/second) since we started the calendar server after patching.After examining the server, we found that it was the SAME notification being sent 10 times per second to one user. (Our mail server received over 2.7 million of this message.) The notification was a notice the event date from Oct 20, 2006!
After we talked to support, this is what we did, I may be a little off, but it's close. As always, I would talk to Sun Support before trusting me :)
a.) Before rebuilding, keep a copy of the Calendar DB first:
# ./stop-cal
# cd /var/opt/sun/calendar
# cp -Rp csdb csdb.pre-rebuild
b.) Run "csdb rebuild":
# mkdir /var/opt/sun/calendar/rebuild
# chmod 777 /var/opt/sun/calendar/rebuild
# ./csdb -g rebuild /var/opt/sun/calendar/csdb /var/opt/sun/calendar/rebuild
This will put the rebuilt DB in /var/opt/sun/calendar/rebuild.
c.) When the rebuild is completed, copy the files over as follows (make sure that you have that backup copy first):
# cd /var/opt/sun/calendar/csdb
# rm *db
# rm log*
# rm __db*
# cp /var/opt/sun/calendar/rebuild/* .
(and then check file permissions and ownerships)
d.) start-cal
