Another Scheduler is running! This Scheduler will not start!

Error

C:\%USERPROFILE%\.obm\log\Scheduler\debug.log shows

[YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss] Another Scheduler is running! This Scheduler will not start!

OR

C:\Program Files\CyberSecure Advanced\log\Scheduler\info.log shows:

[2011/03/23 12:43:12][info] Another scheduler is running! Will retry in 65 seconds.
[2011/03/23 12:44:17][info] This scheduler will not start. Reason: Another scheduler is running.

Cause

It means that another scheduler is already running so this scheduler is unable to start.

Even if the “Online Backup Scheduler” service has been stopped and all scheduler processes killed, this error might still be seen due to stale IPC files.

Resolution

Flush the backup queue
