RE: [nv-l] Netmon exited with signal 6

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

I'm confused, Scott. What release are you seeing this problem on?

 As far as I know, the only people who could already have 7.14 running would be part of the beta customer group.  Are you part of that?

NetView 7.1.4 was otherwise just announced today for Business Partners and won't ship for general release for at least a week yet.  It's been in Verification longer than any previous release, and if most installations had been netmon die on signal 6, it wouldn't have shipped even now.  So I think this is a rare occurrence, though I could e wrong, since I don't work on netmon.  Even so, I thought there was a procedure for them to report their problems to development directly to avoid announcements like the one you just made.

What went wrong?  Didn't the beta last long enough?

FYI - Netmon for NetView 7.1.4 is corein'g on signal 6 - you didn't mention what version you were on, but if it is the new one, it looks like it has a problem already.

It means you should call Support.  That is not normal.  As the man page for signal on AIX will tell you a signal 6 is SIGIOT or "abort process". 
If you are not up to current on NetView maintenance, especially for netmon, I would get some, and for that you should call Support

All,

I have added over 100 IP addresses into the seed file with "$" to force SNMP polling
Recycled netmon and I see that netmon kept exiting with signal 6

Do you know what does that mean??
