I think you should call Support about this.
But just looking at actionsvr's log won't help.
Did you look at nvcorrd's?
Is nvcorrd coring?  Check /usr/OV/PD/cores/nvcorrd and find out. 
You might want to have the nvcdebug trace running to see what he's up to. 
But the four termination messages in the your actionsvr log would indicate 
to me that you have several copies of this thing running at one time.  If 
nvcorrd is being flooded then he may be too busy to respond to actionsvr, 
but that's just a guess.
What is your trapd rate when this occurs?

NetView 6.0.3 AIX 4.3.3

I have been fighting this for quite some time and was wondering if any of
you have seen this? About once a month the rules that I load in
ESE.automation stop firing. When I look in the nvaction.alog or blog I see
the following errors:

1704~public~2~US545A09.fritolay.pvt~Node Up.~1042624265

nvcorrd.

At this point I have to stop and restart the actionsvr to reload the 
rules.
The ruleset it fails on changes from time to time. I have made sure that 
the
rules are valid and all of them end in running a script.
