Also make sure NOTHING at all is running when expire inventory tries to run.
Unlike the ADSM database backup, it is a lower priority process (or session)
than what seems like all other processes.

        If the no of objects are to to be inspected or inspected objects are
        completed within time duration then it shuts off by itself.

        In my case when I wanted to run for duration=10.
        Then issued the cmd query proc I can see that as all objects get
inspected
        within the time it gets shuts off because
        it has nothing else to inspect .PL do that again and see that how
much time
        it takes to inspect and expire.
        This is what I saw in my case .It need not run all the duration in
idle for
        left out time.

        TSM 3.7.4 on AIX 4.3.3

        I have EXPIRE INVENTORY scheduled to run for 1.5 hours in the wee
hours:
        EXPIRE INVENTORY QUIET=YES DURATION=90


        Sometimes EXPIRE INVENTORY runs OK.
        Other times it starts up, examines/expires 200-300 objects, then
shuts
        itself down again in 2-3 minutes with the normal message of SUCCESS.

        Now I know it should be expiring 100,000+ objects per day.
        If I start it again manually, it takes off and runs as you would
expect.

        Does anyone else see this happen?
        Any idea what causes the premature shutdown?
