Q.
Some NLMs stay loaded after completion. The next time CRON tries to load them, the command processor gives a "non-re-entrant" error. How can I unload NLMs that have completed?
A.
Some NLMs provide command-line options for auto-unloading. If the NLM you are using is not in this category, you can schedule an unload command a short time (say one minute) before loading the same load command. For example, if you want XYZBACK.NLM to run every night at 3:00 am, include two lines in the CRONTAB file:
"59 2 * * * unload xyzback" "0 3 * * * load xyzback"
