We are currently running 4.3 and the SYSV dual port on our ISI V24. We have encountered a problem during the execution of our ACCELL databases. Occasionally the executable ACCELL process (UNIFY) will go into disk wait with a priority of -25. As a result it cannot be swapped out. Other ACCELL processes follow suit and eventually we have a system where everything is swapped out except 5 or so ACCELL processes. The only way we have found to clear the problem is to do a cold reboot on the system. Does anyone have any suggestions on: 1) how can we delete (kill) the processes in disk wait when their PRI=-25? or 2) how can we prevent the wait at a low priority? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (UNIFY has been made aware of the problem). ___ ___ ___ ___ _ _ ___ /__/ / / /__ / /\ / / _ Dave Wadsworth, Boeing Canada, Toronto. /__/ /__/ /__ _/_ / / /__/ "Save a tree....
