Here is the scenario that seems to always cause this behavior:

I have a simple script that loops through the files that I have
modified and does a bsubmit for each file.  This script will happily
chug along for the first 10 - 20 files.  Eventually a bsubmit hangs.
There is no response, no feedback, nothing.  I've waited as much as
a half hour to see if it will finally come back.  Eventually I 
will control-C the script.  Then I try to manually bsubmit the file
that got hung up.  I will usually get a message telling me that I
need to do a bsubmit -resub with the time and date specified.
I obediently do my bsubmit with the -resub option and the results
are as you see above.  No specific error message.  I'm not 100%
sure but I think that this is a repeatable thing.  Now I'm stuck
until someone fixes/removes/whatever the bsubmit.hold file.  This has
been going on for the better part of a week and I'm getting very
frustrated.  I've been trying to submit ~250 files to the xexternal
tree.  At this point I have no idea how many have actually made it
into the pool and how many are in some indeterminate state.  I need
to figure out how to avoid getting into this state (other than manually
type bsubmit 'filename' 250 times).

Any suggestions? advice?

Thanks,
Ken

There's nothing in the bsubmit.hold file and no lock that I can see.

A brute force idea. Tar/vdump you're entire sandbox and .sandboxrc file to 
your ZK account, modify your .sandboxrc file so the new paths are correct, or 
put the SB in the exact same dir, and try it up here.

My suspicion is that it's a network problem - there's been a lot lately, 
especially with UNX.

Hi.  Ode just will not let me bsubmit, but won't tell me why.  This seems
to happen quite regularly for me.  Anyway, here's the latest.  Any idea
what I need to do to let me submit?

Thanks,

BTW, whatever ODE decided to do, it wiped out the files I was trying to
submit.  I just did an ls of my directory and they're gone!  Why is
it removing files when I told it to query me later and if there is
an error in the submit process?  Will I be able to get my work back
or have I lost work again?

Thanks,

 --- pete

Has anyone had a chance to look at this problem yet?  I'm stuck at the
moment and need to get this submit into BL11.

Thanks,

Subj: 	Re: Here we go again

Pete, since you don't have a 2nd interface problem, then perhaps there was
just a network glitch which caused the submit to get stuck.  

Assuming that your submit is your whole set, try the following (if it's
not the whole set, use a file list instead of -all):

% sadmin -all
 /* look in the output of this for your submit start time */

% bco -u -all
 /* to replace files rm'd and not replaced during the stuck bsubmit */

% bsubmit -defect # -resub <time> -date <date>
 /* to attempt to restart the submit where it left off */

Josh,

  Nope, this doesn't work.  I did the bco earlier to make sure I could
get my files back.  It still tells me something's wrong, but seems to
refuse to let me know what that is.  

Thanks,
