Re: "Undead" Jobs

[Albert York <alfromme@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have had this happen with TCP/IP jobs. Nothing would kill the job
and eventually it would take the system down hard. Now when it happens
I go straight to an IPL. Luckily, it doesn't happen very often (three
times in the past 5 years).

The job will use up the entire CPU and refuses to end. It takes
forever, but when you are able to look at the job the program stack is
empty.
