Solving Runtime Problems on MPE/iX Managed Nodes
If You Cannot Replace Current Commands when
Distributing Scripts or Programs
When distributing command, action, or monitor scripts or programs, it
may happen that current actions, commands, and monitors cannot be
replaced.
Problem
The commands, actions, or monitors are still in use (that is, scripts or
programs are running, the text file is busy). You receive a warning to this
effect. In most cases, this situation causes no problems because the
existing actions, monitors, or commands are not often modified (in other
words, the newly-distributed files are equivalent to those in use).
Solution
If you wants to explicitly change a program or script that is currently
running on MPE/iX, you must stop the MPE agents:
opcragt -stop
Repeat the distribution, which restarts the agents.
