Command not processed in a timely manner

Post by hotdealdave »

Our server is currently "stuck" with some services down, and will not respond to any commands from the GUI. It states that "the command was not processed in a timely manner..." I will probably just restart the server for now, but what is the proper way to try to resolve issues similar to that in the screenshot, from the command line?

I should also mention that I enabled DNX this morning, and it seems to be working. The load on the slave server does seem significantly increased, and the load on the master decreased somewhat. But as seen above, the master is no longer responding to commands from the GUI. The last thing I did was add two checks of shares on one of our hosts.

The red items you show makes me believe some of the crond processes aren't running.

Can you run the following to try a restart of crond

Code: Select all

service crond restart
If that is running fine, we should be able to see the processes running with the following

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep /cron/
If you see several processes running lets run the following to see if we can spot any errors

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log

Thank you. I did just restart the server and that resolved it, but I will bookmark this response and try these commands next time we have a similar issue, which seems to be once or twice a week.

Also, make sure the crond is added to the chkconfig for the proper run levels:

Code: Select all

chkconfig --list | grep crond
