Re: Service Director

[John McKee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is exactly what GO SERVICE shows.

Thus, my original question as far as what >might< have happened.  I have no
idea if the anti-social person (just how antisocial can somebody be to
their own boss and STILL have a job) got a bill for service director and
cancelled it, or if he jst got into a snit.  Why the library is gone, but
the scheduled job remains.


Oh wait - this just hit me.  Maybe at an earlier release - v4r5 or earlier,
service director was an added thing, like TCP/IP was back in the v2 days,
and later it was put into the OS and thus the job schedule entry is
vestigal from ancient days.  Does that make sense?
