Re: SMTP Server Not Restarting?

[Paul Bouwhuis <pdbman2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Check your QSTRUP program. We had the same issue and when I checked QSTRUP, it was issuing an end command right after it issued the start command. At first, no one would listen when I told the powers that be that startup was ending the server. I finally found one person that payed attention when I showed him a printout of the code. He let me remove the end command and we haven't had a problem since.

 Rich, how is your startup program post IPL coded.  Maybe the services are
starting up before the network interface is fully activated.
