John,

Not a lot of detail here.  :-)   

What is happening on the LED? (Do 968's have LED's?)   usually they flash f1ff or faff?

This will tell us if the system is in a loop.

Another idea is to run Glance or SOS on a separate terminal in the b-queue.    It may help identify any offending processes.

Finally, you may want to look at your log files for any I/O errors.

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
