Re: SMTP Server Not Restarting?

Well, if you ever want to cut ties with that darned IBM SMTP server, let me
know. ;)

One of the startup programs has its own STRTCP instruction coded in it.
It is on a system that has been upgraded several times and that

instruction

dates back to before the IPL Attributes. The other one does not have a
STRTCP. In both cases, the startup program ran to normal completion but
the SMTP server never got started.

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

I have now seen on two different boxes running 7.3 that when the system
restarts following a long term power outage, the SMTP server does not
restart correctly. The SMTP server attributes are clearly set for an
automatic restart. I can also see that during the IPL, the shutdown of

the

SMTP server is reported and then the startup is reported. Then, 2

seconds

later, it is logging a "normal" end to SMTP. When the system comes back
fully, the SMTP server is not running. Starting it with the STRTCPSVR
command resolves this, but why is this happening and is there a way to

fix

it?
