Catalog backups fail with 150 - termination requested by administrator

[jasonfx]

Sometimes the catalog backup fails and I'm unsure why.  Any ideas on finding why it fails?

the 150 means someone killed the job.

[jasonfx]

150: The process terminates (or has terminated) as a direct result of a request from an authorized user or process.

I asked all the people (a small team) that have access to the server if they killed the job and they all said no.  That is what I was hoping for, but when I look at the 150 description it mentions that it could be an authorized process.

NB versions & OS's/releases?

I have heard of 150's occurring before without user intervention but cannot find much on KB nor forum.

There's also the EC50 to consider too at the end of your job details report....there is a T/N but not sure of its relevance (old NB versions & Solaris O/S):

Anything changed recently?

[jasonfx]

NBU 6.5.4 & Solaris 10.

free memory, swap space , full file systems (e.g /tmp).

All of those have previous caused status 150 for me.
