i have two problems, has anyone else seen them?
1) Although spacefor is temporarily kludged to do
echo 10000 ; exit 0 i am still getting this on the
_occasional_ incoming batch...
incoming news discarded due to space shortage
uuxqt cmd (rnews ) status (signal 0, exit 1)
youch! i have plenty of disk and inodes free,
and the kernel has "maxuprc 50" set.
2) This is another _occasional_ one, a slew of incoming
batches go to bad, i get mail telling me to check errlog,
but there's no comment there. On moving the batches back
up to incoming, and doing a newsrun as user news, the batches
unpack fine and life goes on.
If you can help, *thanks*.
Responses via mail please (if you can...)
i'll post a summary to news.software.b.

I should add that Doug and I have already thought of the possibility that his system is hitting some kind of limit (processes, inode table, something like that) while running. That sounds to me like the most likely problem, actually, but any other suggestions would be welcome. -- Committees do harm merely by existing. | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology -Freeman Dyson | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry

Thanks Timo!
C news has been running fine on Ultrix 3.1 (vax) since i changed
#! /bin/sh
to
#! /bin/sh5
in all of the scripts.
I hope this posting saves other Ultrician's ;-) from some grief.
