RE: Runaway FTP task

You're probably past this by now either with a system crash or the
ENDJOBABN worked. A lot of times the ENDJOBABN will run for 120 seconds
before actually ending the particular job, I suppose to do some more
cleanup if possible.

Now I tried the ENDJOBABN, which it accepted, with no results.

BTW, I also used ENDTCPSVR *FTP. I also changed the task to have a Run
Priority of 99, just to try and slow it down (currently using 59.9 of
the
CPU), and neither of these helped.

I need emergency help with this one.

I was ftp'ing a file from my PC to a save file on our iSeries. My
internet
connection apparently had a hiccup or two and my VPN connection was
disconnected. My PC hung and had to be restarted. By the time I got
back
on the iSeries, my system was in a critical storage condition, and it
keeps
going up! There is an ftp task running in QSYSWRK that I can not
cancel.
I've tried using option 4 with *IMMED and it takes it, but nothing
happens.
The job has END status, but my total system ASP used keeps going up,
currently 99.8116!

I've deleted QHST logs, all the other files I know I can delete and am
now
deleting my largest library because I know I have a backup for it, but
nothing seems to help.

What can I do, and what can I expect?
