What is the error?

[jryden]

Hey everyone -

silly question here :) How do you find out why a message in the ERROR queue ended up in the ERROR queue? With other words, where do you find the error message? I tried:

omstat -q error -m <msgid>

and it gives some info, but as far as I can tell no info on why the message is in the error queue...

Sometimes omshowlog will pinpoint the problem. Try omshowlog -e | less

Woohoo - that is a lot of guess work :) Is there any way to look at the message that is stuck? I think that is going to be a lot faster than sifting through the error queue

Is there really no way of either looking at the message that is stuck or finding out why it's stuck other than trying to correlate error messages from omshowlog with the stuck message??
