JOBABORT was obviously meant to be ABORTJOB.

TGIF.

I was going to mention this to the list myself, our old HP3000 969, crashed
about 10 times in the last 2 months and HP and us never found out why.  In
some cases it was because of a spool file using all the system disc space
and then the HP could never recover.

We switched to a new N4000 and have been running for 2 months and we've
already rebooted 4 times because of jobs freezing.  It seems to be related
to network problem.  I have the impression, since the inclusion of Apache
and Samba, especially Samba, the HP has become much more fragile.

JOBABORT is very annoying as the job still needs resource to be able to
abort.  We used to use a trick in Glance to move the queue of the job and
then it would get resource and abort, but since Glance is no longer included
in MPE/iX, we can't do it.

HP3000 reliable, huh !

Admittedly prior to this experience I don't remember ever seeing an HP3K
crash.

However, this morning I came into work and there was a process on our 3K
which wouldn't die and was using all the processor time, so we had to
restart the machine. That's the second time that's happened since I've been
here (nearly two years). That's terrible reliability. Compared to my CP/M
machine at home. It hasn't crashed in years. (Hasn't been switched on either
:)
