LOL : No of course not.
We do a cold backup every night (datafiles, controlfiles, pfile, etc) Every first saterday of the month we do a total OS image of the machine. It's just that if something gets screwed in the controlfile dept (i know we have tapes for at least 14 days with controlfiles ) i like to have a backuped controlfile. It may be overprotection but hey, better be safe then sorry. It's only 1 minute execution and a file of aprox. 5M.

But thanks for your care !!

I saw the job.q file and suspected this file to be the local job queue. It a binary file so i couldn't read / edit it.

Do you know if i can safely delete this file without crashing the intelligent agent?

Cheers
