John,

This is from memory, so I may be off by a bit.

Hit Cntrl-B at the console to get the CM prompt.   Type ES for Enable Status.   This should put a flashing bar at the bottom of the console.   The bar should contain the equivalent of the LED lights.

Type CO to return to the console.

LOGTOOL.PUB.SYS is a standard utility on MPE.

Hi Craig,
 
Yes, the lack of detail is my problem.
I have no flashing lights, error messages, 
etc....
 
The only clue I may have is probably in the 
logfile(s).
Donna just mentioned "LogTool".  
Not sure if that's a standard HP utility or 
not.
So maybe that might help me decipher the cryptic data to 
find a clue to the problem.
Is there another solution?

    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.

-Craig

        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
