Re: Telnet server hanging?

I have seen it a couple of times and the only way to fix it was an
IPL. It was on a V5R4 system. You could try ENDJOBABN if it happens
again but it wasn't successful for me.

I still don't know why it happened. No logs anywhere indicated there
was a problem. IBM wasn't much help because the system was so down
level.

I just had to warm-IPL our V4R4 box, after the Telnet server hung.

Yesterday afternoon, it was very difficult to get a Telnet session on
the box; this morning, it was impossible. When I signed on from a Twinax
terminal, I found that my last session from yesterday, which should have
been long-gone, was still showing up as signed on.

The associated Telnet server job wouldn't go away, not with an ENDJOB
*IMMED; not with an ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED; even after that, the server job
and its subsystem just sat there indefinitely with a status of END, and
no "restricted condition" message in the QSYSOPR queue.

After a quick STRSST, to verify that I didn't have any crashed drives, I
finally did a GO POWER, option 4, and everything was happy when it came
back up. But I'm still puzzled.

Has anybody else seen this sort of thing happen?
