Error description
v3.9 -FP1 - platform indepdendent. When a process is set with retryCount as 0(zero) under $NCHOME/etc/precision/CtrlServices.cfg and upon stopping the process, ncp_ctrl isn't supposed to restart a new instance. But it restarts the process endlessly without honoring the retryCount. here is excerpt from CtrlServices.cfg: insert into services.inTray ( serviceName, binaryName, servicePath, domainName, argList, dependsOn, retryCount ) values ( "ncp_model", "ncp_model", "$PRECISION_HOME/platform/$PLATFORM/bin", "$PRECISION_DOMAIN", [ "-domain" , "$PRECISION_DOMAIN" , "-latency" , "100000", "-debug", "0", "-messagelevel", "warn"], [ "ncp_config", "ncp_store", "ncp_class" ], 0 );
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * 3.9 all platforms, users using ncp_ctrl to manage processes * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * when a retrycount of 0 is used, ncp_ctrl keeps repeatedly * * trying to start a process that has just died, a retryCount * * of 0 should mean that ncp_ctrl not try to start a process * * even once * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * | fix pack | 3.9.0-ITNMIP-FP0003 * ****************************************************************
