Jose -
nvcorrd does not expect to have any in-line actions which involve processes
that themselves spawn new shells or child processes. But if you think you
have discovered a bug and you want it fixed, then you will have to open a
call to Support and report it. Be prepared to trace the execution of your
failing ruleset and to ftp that along with the ruleset to the Level 2 group
for analysis. If they can see the bug in what you send or reproduce it
themselves, then they will open an APAR to get it fixed. They will be
happy to explain how to gather the data they need.

Yes, I've read it.

May be this, I had 2 or 3 inline actions in my ruleset, and I have changed
them for Actions. By now no more defuncts appeared.
However, that's no the solution, an inline action shouldn't have this
problem, or almost, have a patch which resolved it.
Thanks. (and sorry for my english)
