Hi Ron,

There are only 10 spool files out there.
I keep it purged.

Have you checked your spooler? Too many spool files can cause a system to freeze. If this is the case, delete them.

Subject: HP3000 Freezing Up

All,

My HP3000 968 running MPEXL v5.5 has started to "freeze up".
Nothing appears on the console.    I can sometimes login,
but it will not respond after that.    My only option is to do a Ctrl-B and restart it.

Yesterday, I had to power cycle it 5 times before it became semi-stable.
I ran JCONFJOB.NET.SYS to freshen the config file.
I also recovered all of the KSAM files.
I removed all of the scheduled jobs except for the backup.
It eventually froze up again at 5pm.

I've heard a rumor that HP will still semi-support the HP3000.
Is that true?    I am hoping that I can get them to read the log files to tell me what 
is causing the system halt(s).

If HP is totally out of the picture now, how can I solve this mystery?
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Thanks for any info,
John
