Hi All, I'm seeking a word of advice on a problem affecting our CE and/or its ability to communicate with the wms/rb: we intermittently fail SAM tests with error "Got a job held event, reason: Globus error 131: the user proxy expired (job is still running)". We seem to fail also Steve Lloyd's Atlas tests, or rather, they show up in yellow state, and the job status is "Running". SAM tests are submitted through rb113.cern.ch and Steve's tests through lcgwms01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk, so the problem must be at our end. I've tracked the jobs through the batch system and they run and complete with no error. The failure is at the next stage. The job monitor on the gatekeeper fails with the following type of error: 10/28 13:18:39 JMI: local stdout filename = /grid/home/ opssgm/.globus/.gass_cache/local/md5/7f/ab42624c324da55977b89cc3a446d8/ md5/14/0d388effa9126ec877fa959f535c41/data. 10/28 13:18:39 JMI: local stderr filename = /dev/null. 10/28 13:18:39 JMI: poll: seeking: https://pc90.hep.ucl.ac.uk:20200/26501/1225199667/ 10/28 13:18:39 JMI: poll_fast: ******** Failed to find https://pc90.hep.ucl.ac.uk/26501/1225199667/ 10/28 13:18:39 JMI: poll_fast: returning -1 = GLOBUS_FAILURE (try Perl scripts) Is anyone familiar with this error? I haven't managed to uncover anything useful from Globus forums yet. This does not seem to occur all the times, but the increasing number of job-monitor processes running is doing us no favor in terms of load on the machine.
