Sunil,

This error is usually caused by someone else trying to submit the same
file.  Look at the file "bsubmit.hold" in the logs directory of the 
submit tree to see who has a hold on it.  That hold needs to be released
before your submit will go.

Sunil,

I don't believe this is a problem with bsubmit recognizing the change,
but is a problem with a lock on the file somewhere, which is preventing
the bsubmit from working.  These lines are the clue:

>File: ./kernel/sys/errno.h
>is held by

Someone from odehelp please correct me if I'm wrong.  Looks like someone
else has a lock on the file.  The question is, how to find out who, since
the error message doesn't list a name (which seems to be a bug???).  And
then, what do you do about it?  The fact that this is taking place in a
shared sandbox might have something to do with it also.

Hi John,

Yaa, it is there in our shared sb:bsubmit.hold

But who has hold on it?

Subj: 	Re: bsubmit query

Hmm.  This is strange.  Usually the entries in the bsubmit.hold file are
accompanied by the user and date of the hold, for example

          : James_Smith; Date: 9/29/94; Time: 15:42
           ./kernel/bsd/kern_exec.c

but the user/date/time line is missing in yours.


If you do a blog on the file, you can look for any existing private branches
of the file to see who might be submitting it.  A private branch is usually
in the form of
 
          Principal_Name_sandbox: n.n.n
