Hi all,
A group of Solaris 8 servers that I support are experiencing some unusual
errors. Initially, in the middle of cron jobs, a User Signal 2 message is
received, prematurely terminating the jobs. For example, an oracle export
cron job killed recently:
. . exporting table METHODBODY 8171 rows exported
. . exporting table MGRCONF 603 rows exported
. . exporting table MGRCONF_20050922 56 rows exported
. . exporting table MGRSTART 14 rows exported
. . exporting table MO 1092873 rows exported
. . exporting table
MOATT/export/home/oracle/dba/scripts/exportdb.sh[34]: 19937 User Signal 2
Error exporting westnx4 database.
Done with export script at Thu Aug 10 05:00:50 PDT 2006
We've tried running these scripts with "set -vx", hoping that it would reveal
something, but there doesn't seem to be a specific error.
My initial thought was that this might have been an LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue,
related to oracle. However, on one server recently I was sitting idle in a vi
session, looking at oracle's .profile, when I received a User Signal 2 message
and my vi session was terminated, exiting me to the command line.
If thoughts on what these random User Signal 2 errors might be and what can be
done to fix them would be greatly appreciated.
This is occurrring on multiple Solaris 8 servers, under multiple IDs, one with
a default shell of /bin/sh, another with a default shell of /bin/csh.
