batch que (lib_batch process) won't start

Description

util c/2 (start the batch queue) doesn't work:  a process number flashes across the screen, but util c/1 shows that the lib_batch process is not running.

Resolution

We see the following in the run_b file:

lib_batch: Permission denied

lib_batch: can not open lock file /exlibris/aleph/lcp/u23_1/lcp01/files/que_batch_lock

This is at a site (PACSCL) which has users such as pma_user, lcp_user, etc.  The problem is that aleph_startup was run as user "aleph" and the the lcp_user, etc. do not have permission do update these ,/files/que_batch_lock etc. files.

Changing the permissions:

> cd /exlibris/aleph/lcp/lcp/u23_1/lcp01/files

> chmod 777 * 

allowed util c/2 to be run as the lcp_user and the lib_batch process was started.
