Hello all, Jim warned me about a loop that was going on. After I stopped the server for a few mins. I found the following file (all lines with hyphens are mine) --------------------- F183734 TXT --------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- //LISTSERV JOB Echo=No,Reply-to=None // DIST FROM=LISTSERV@EB0UB011 ACK=None TO A1015001@EMDUPM11 AILIST@NDSUVM1 SDU, //+ F07@BMSUEM11 //Via DD "AILIST@EB0UB011 AILIST@NDSUVM1 AILIST@FINHUTC" //Data DD *,EOF,Res=Disk SIGNOFF Klaas Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- But... the only list in our server beginning with the prefix AI is AIDSNEWS. Please help me stop the loop (if there is a copy still wandering around) The extract of the console log also follows. Please note the initial *Distributing file F183734 TXT from [log in to unmask] (he/she probably made an unfortunate mistake, I think that's all). Best regards, Miguel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- PUN FILE 1985 FROM RSCS COPY 001 NOHOLD 21 Dec 1987 18:44:55 Processing file (1985) from LISTSERV@CEARN 21 Dec 1987 18:44:59 From LISTSERV@CEARN: DIST FROM=DD=From ACK=None TO A101500 @EMDUPM11 AILIST@NDSUVM1 SDUF07@BMSUEM11 21 Dec 1987 18:45:01 Distributing file "F183734 TXT" from WBPONTW@HUTRUU0... 21 Dec 1987 18:45:03 File "F183734 TXT" distributed to [log in to unmask] 21 Dec 1987 18:45:04 File "F183734 TXT" distributed to [log in to unmask] 21 Dec 1987 18:45:05 File "F183734 TXT" distributed to [log in to unmask] 21 Dec 1987 18:45:05 End of distribution ...
