[hercules-390] hercules takes up 100% of cpu

[[e-mail] [hercules-390]]

Hello,
I'm running Hercules 3.12 on MacOSX 10.11 and it's suddenly taken up 100% of my CPU.
My log contains the following messages:

How do I clear the "spool volumes"?

Many thanks.

You didn't provide information on what system you're running, or, more
importantly, whether you're running an integrated or separate console.

For an MVS and zOS console, the basic commands are:

$PJ1-9999 clears all print/punch output and purges jobs
$PT1-9999 clears inactive TSO session output
$PS1-9999 clears output from start jobs

For more normal use, you would clear individual jobs by specifying one
or more job numbers, e.g., $PJ9,24,66

If you are using the integrated console, the same commands are prefixed
by an escape character, by default a slash:

/$PS1-9999

Whatever you were running as job HERC02I appears to be in a loop writing
output, and just purging the output ($PJ94) should clear the spool.

If you wish to stop an executing job, such as this one, the MVS command
is C HERC02I (C is short for CANCEL).

Hi Gerhard,
thank you for your help.
I’m running MVS tk-4 and using the integrated console.
I’m not sure really sure what caused the 100% CPU saturation.
I’ll be on the lookout next time.
