358.0. "Session Manager creates SYS$ERROR. files in SYS$LOGIN:" by AKO455::SHEPRO (NOW what'd I do?) Wed Mar 08 1989 14:07

Every time I log into a D.W. session, something, I presume the Sessions Manager
creates a file SYS$LOGIN:SYSERROR.

Do I have something setup wrong?

358.1CHILD maybe?OIWS20::BRYSONWed Mar 08 1989 14:278
    Is the file SYSERROR. or SYS$ERROR.?  Are you running an older version
    of CHILD?  If not, what are you starting in DECW$SYLOGIN.COM and
    DECW$LOGIN.COM.  The session manager should only created the
    DECW$SM.LOG as its output file.

358.2same things under uwsGILDOR::avolioI was ULTRIX when ULTRIX wasn't *cool*Thu Mar 09 1989 09:479
The same thing happens under UWS, for your information.  The SM leave files
in my /tmp directory "sm#.errs" where # is the pid number.  These files
do not get cleaned up.  Session manager droppings.  (Errors also get
sent to /usr/adm/X0msgs.  Debug statements from programs as far as I
can see.  This file grows bigger forever, thereby enabling us to
see more disks :-).

358.3/tmp/sm#.errs => SYS$LOGIN:DECW$SM.LOGOIWS20::BRYSONThu Mar 09 1989 11:138
    The /tmp/sm#.errs would be equivalent to the SYS$LOGIN:DECW$SM.LOGs
    that are produced by session managers.  When the Session Manager on
    VMS is started,SYS$OUTPUT and SYS$ERROR both point to DECW$SM.LOG.
    The SYS$ERROR. files should not have been created by the Session
    Manager (the way I understand it).
