We're still using AIX 4.2.1 at work (don't laugh). Anyway the problem
we're getting is a bit odd

We're rshing from another system, and very, very occasionally we get
the following error back

rshd: 0826-816 Cannot run another process at this time.

Any ideas? - we initally spotted the error since it's returned to
stdout, not stderr

we have now identified at least three different scripts that fail (it
only seems to happen once a day - during an overnight run)

in general the resh (from an HP box) is

resh $Remote_Host compress -f $ARCHDIR/$ArchiveFile 2>/tmp/ProcName

Like I said before, most of the day, this works fine

Cannot run another process usually indicates the inability of your
system to fork another process. You could be out of memory. Check your
system ps -ef to see if any bogus processes are hanging around.

you might also check smitty--SystemEnvironments--change show
characteristics of operating system. Maybe your

Maximum number of processes per user setting is being exceeded.

This is most likely in database environments.
