I ran the sipbsrc FILES nightly job by hand and it had no problems. Noting
that the most recent error-mail was sent at 11:40AM the day after the error,
I hypothesize that the job is taking so long to complete that its tokens are
becoming invalid before the completion of the job.
I've added a few information-gathering lines to the section of the script
that's been generating the errors :
>> /bin/mv FILES.new FILES
>> if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
>> echo >&2 "$0: Error moving FILES into place."
*> /bin/date | /bin/sed -e "s;^;$0: ;g" >&2
*> /bin/athena/tokens | /bin/sed -e "s;^;$0: ;g" >&2
>> exit 1
>> fi
(this is /afs/sipb/project/sipbsrc/nightly/nightly.sh; I also introduced
this file to RCS)
Hopefully, this will be a good test of my hypothesis. These extra lines
should probably be removed when we finish figuring out what is wrong.
