The crash was caused by a SSRVEXECPT (Unexpected system service exception). The current image file was LOGINOUT.EXE. Everything seemed fine after rebooting the system, so I went to lunch. The PMDF software worked fine for about an 1-1/2 hours. Then it seemed to get stuck, repeating the following error message (in L_MASTER.LOG in pmdf_root:[log]) over and over and over.....: %PMDF-W-V5DETECT, MAIL CNCT block not found -- assuming VMS V5 %PMDF-F-GETFILERR, Error getting file parameter off command line -CLI-W-ABSENT, entity or value absent from command string The system had run non-stop for the better part of four weeks before the crash. I have stopped/started both the mail$batch queue and Jnet with no success. Since I was involved in a number of other projects, I did not notice there was a problem until later in the day. Now the mail$batch queue has gotten HUGE ! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
