Good morning,
Running MQSeries v5.2 CSD04 on AIX v4.3.3. Im seeing files of type 'socket' such as follows in my /tmp directory:
MQSeries.63410
MQSeries.50284
The more recent ones of the bunch are for active PIDs that represent either a runmqchi or runmqchl process. I am not too concerned about these recent and active guys, but I see about 40 others that are weeks/months old for PIDs that are no longer there. Apparently orphans when a channel abends. I sent a problem ticket to IBM, and they suggested a cleanup script - no mention of code defect though. Can anyone please describe the process that MQSeries uses to acquire and release these sockets? Any of you find this on your systems?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi, Yes we see these on out AIX boxes also (MQ v5.2 CSD06). However as the files are 0 bytes in size and we clean up tmp on a reasonably regular frequency we aren't that concerned.

Thanks

Jamie

Thanks for the comments, very helpful. Thanks Vennela, I followed the link and understand much more that this is probably a code defect. I made comment to IBM in my problem report, and they were quick to close without comment. Something I'm getting used to from IBM; seems they are more concered with the appearance of 'zero defects' and their development bonuses than fixing all problems - as they used to do in the past. Keep up the postings on the forums....this is an excellent place to discuss these types of issues and solve problems. Thanks again,

Dan
