[SYS21] Re: GLUPDATE running with DLYW status

Just for clarification -
We take the GL subsystem down before the backups.
We also have separate procedures for recovering incomplete sessions
(recycling the subsystem alone won't help this situation)

Still, once every couple of months it will appear to the WRKACTJOB that
GLUPDATE is happily running in DLYW state, while the number of highlighted
(unprocessed) GL account postings grows.  Bringing the subsystem down and
back up via the standard System21 menu option will always 'kickstart' the
GLUPDATE, and it runs at full throttle (taking a majority of CPU to process
all the transactions in queue) for about a minute.  Then it goes back to its
DLYW state and processes perfectly for another couple of months.

It's more of a curiosity than a critical failure.
