Error Writing To Process File Pid
Domino server startup nsd; Error writing to process file pid.nbf; domino server startup; launch; 702 fp1; 702fp1; 655 fp3 Technote (FAQ) Question The following error displays on the Lotus Domino server console when starting the Domino server: Error writing to process file pid.nbf. Answer This issue has been fixed in Domino 6.5.6, 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) and 8.0. Excerpt from the Lotus Domino Release 6.5.6 MR and 7.0.2 FP1 fix lists (available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus): SPR# TSAO6RM8FZ - NSD now makes a separate copy of pid.nbf and reads that; also only reads the file once instead of four times. This regression was introduced in 6.5.5. Refer to the Upgrade Central site for details on upgrading Notes/Domino. When the Domino server starts it launches an NSD -info command to gather some system configuration information. NSD reads pid.nbf, which can cause file contention with the Domino server. Obtaining this fix is the preferred method of resolving this issue. In the interim, there are two workarounds: Workaround #1 If you have NSD update Version 2382, you can add the following line to nsd.ini in the data directory: USEPIDNBF=1 This will cause NSD to use pid.nbf exclusively for initialization, reducing the time that the file is open. Workaround #2 Disable the launching of NSD -info at server startup. This is done by adding the following line to the notes.ini: DISABLE_SAVENSDCONFIG=1 Related information Document information More support for: Lotus End of Support Products Lotus Domino Server Software version: 6.5.5 Operating system(s): Windows Reference #: 1246979 Modified date: 2007-07-17 Site availability Site assistance Contact and feedback Need support?

Regards,Tony. RE: Domino Server fails to start tonty (MIS) (OP) 30 Aug 07 06:36 Sorted, no thanks to the completely misleading error messages.Turns out the notes.ini was corrupt and had replaced the Directory=pathname with weird charaters.
