Re: Power off and on tasks

Greg,

Do you have the source code to weekly backup program? If so, you should be 
monitoring for various conditions, including media errors. If an oddball 
error occurs, have the program put the system back into a useable 
condition so the users won't be waking you up at dark-thirty on Monday 
mornings.

We use the power off and on tasks to shut down and restart the AS/400 each
weekend primarily to recover if there is a media error on the weekly 
backup.
It is undesirable to have everyone come to work Monday morning and find 
that
the machine has a message to be answered. 

Three weeks ago the FE replaced the batteries in our disk controllers and
since then the machine has not powered off/on.

Does anyone have an idea of what I should check for?  The power off/on
schedule shows the correct dates/time. 

Thanks,
Greg
