RE: [nv-l] nvpagerd dies

Errpt doesn't give any clues. There are not failures listed there any where
near that time.

Most of the time the nvpagerd works just fine and then for some reason the
pages stop going out to the carrier. Here is a sample of the nvpagerd.alog
when the process dies:

Look at errpt  ( run errpt -a  > myfile ) and see what else is happening
around that time. 

There is no error level in nvapgerd.  That's an OS level message complaining
about the errors. 
I have only two guesses. 
Is it possible that you have paging enabled but your modem or tty device is
inactive?   That's the only "file"  (all UNIX I/O is to a "file")  that
might be an issue here that I can think of. 
If there is no nvpager.warm file it should work fine, unless perhaps you
deleted it while the daemon was active and expecting to write to it.

NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3

I have had several instances where nvpagerd dies and when I look at the
nvpagerd.errlog I see the following message every time:

Error(/usr/OV/bin/nvpagerd): Too many consecutive child errors.
10/20/03 16:18:39 - Error(/usr/OV/bin/nvpagerd): select() failed. : A file
descriptor does not refer to an open file.

I don't see anything in the nvpagerd.alog or nvpagerd.blog that is obviously
an issue. Has anyone seen this? Is there a way of bumping up the error level
in nvpagerd?

Thanks,

Scott
