I just had this problem once. The problem was that I shut-down the machine
at the same moment as a new group was added. On shutdown I stop the
master with "nnmaster -k". On startup there was an inconsitency in the
MASTER file and none of the nnprograms whould run. I reinitialized the
data-base. I only have had this problem once, there is not much chance
of collecting a group during shutdown!
Another nasty problem occured with an impropper build system; there
were 2 cron-proccesses started. The two crons managed to get two
expires runnig at the same time. Very nasty. Gives a lot of errors and
a distroyed database.
P.S. I am a very happy user of NN, very good work indeed!
Henk.
