Where is HOBBIT TIMES  located?  If the file changes should that disk be
re-accessed ?

Thank you,

Scott

Subject: Problem that is a blast from the past...

Well, I got to pull out my old System/370 reference "green card" (really
a
yellow book) for the first time in quite a while.  That was quite
nostalgic.

The reason for using it isn't quite as much fun, though.  I'm trying to
get
the Xymon client for VM working, which uses WAKEUP.  I haven't used that
in
a number of years and am running into a weird problem. It will work for
hours
without a problem and then just drop out of WAKEUP due to an "external
interrupt".  WAKEUP is being called as follows:

WAKEUP +5 ( CONS EXT SMSG FILE(HOBBIT TIMES *)

Sometimes, it will run through a sequence and then exit, sometimes it
will run
for several days before it happens.  This is happening on different
systems
to, not just on one VM system.  I suspect that some silly thing is not
set
correctly, but I have no idea what.  I finally did a CP TRACE EXT on
one of them and found that it is getting an external interrupt code
1004.
According to my trusty old reference book, that is a "clock comparator"
interrupt. That is what is causing WAKEUP to stop with RC=6.

Any ideas on how I can get it to stop doing that?
