I dont' know what release of VM you're running, but 4M shouldn't be out of line, especially if you're running CMS 5, 5.5, or 6 (they're bigger). It's what I run with here. What is being sorted is the list of SUBSCRIBERS to that list. Unless you have one hell of a popular list, it shouldn't be TOO big! I haven't seen/had a problem like the one you describe, but based on what you said, I do have an idea or two... First, in the WAKEPARM FILE on LISTSERV's 191 disk, make sure you have an entry to cause LSVCLGBV to be run, to cleanse the GLOBALV table. Second, I highly recommend causeing LISTSERV to re-ipl once a day, to clean up storage, etc., and just to start everything out fresh again for the day. Since re-ipling CMS also cleanses the GLOBALV, I do the IPL at 00:00:02, and the LSVCLGBV at 12:00:00. Here's what my WAKEPARM FILE looks like: ALL 00:00:01 04/30/91 CMS EXECMAP ALL 00:00:02 04/30/91 CP MSG * shutdown reipl ALL 02:00:00 04/30/91 Call LSVXAFD 'Delayed AFD/FUI' ALL 03:30:00 04/30/91 CP SM NETNEWS purge quiet ALL 05:01:00 04/30/91 CP SM NETNEWS restart quick ipl MON 06:00:00 04/29/91 EXEC LSVEXPIR WEEKDAY 08:00:00 04/30/91 Command /LMON MODE Day ALL 10:00:00 04/30/91 Call LSVCHK 'Database1' ALL 12:00:00 04/30/91 Command /LMON CKPT ALL 12:00:00 04/30/91 CMS LSVCLGBV LASTING ALL 16:55:00 04/30/91 CP SM NETNEWS nordr ALL 16:59:00 04/30/91 CP SM NETNEWS restart quick noclose ALL 22:00:00 04/30/91 Call LSVXAFD 'Delayed AFD/FUI' ALL 17:01:00 04/30/91 CP SM NETNEWS restart quick noclose ALL 23:00:00 04/29/91 Call LSVLDELT ALL 23:00:00 04/29/91 Call LSVXREQ ALL 23:00:00 04/29/91 EXEC LSVUDDE ALL &00:05 22:49:15 Quiet EXEC LSV$LMNT ALL &00:30 22:27:54 Quiet Call LSVPRIME ALL 23:00:00 04/29/91 Call LSVXREQ ALL 23:00:00 04/29/91 EXEC LSVUDDE ALL &00:05 22:49:16 Quiet EXEC LSV$LMNT ALL &00:30 22:30:24 Quiet Call LSVPRIME * This WAKEPARM file is the new default for LISTSERV version 1.6d and * above. Of course, I have things in mine that you won't need, since I run a FULL UDD and LISTS server, and also use LISTSERV's WAKEPARM to send commands to other things, like NETNEWS. Hope this helps. Any questions, give me a shout or a call. -Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Manos NAD/TechRep/InfoRep BITNET : TMANOS@HARPERVM Systems & Networking Consultant Internet: [log in to unmask] Harper Community College UUCP net: !uunet!harpervm.bitnet!tmanos Palatine, IL 60067-7398 VoiceNet: (708) 980-7919 (Alpha Omega)
