1472.0. "File read errors with remote applications " by DIBDIB::DBATES () Thu Sep 21 1989 13:41

Hello,
I would be grateful for any help with the following DECwindows question.

I'm having a few problems with remote applications using DECwindows.
A number of the users on our machine start up remote applications which do
a "SET DISPLAY/CREATE" to their local work stations. They typically start up
such things as mail,calendar etc.
The processes start off ok but die after a period of time.
The exit status of the processes is %X0001C0F4 which equates to 

	"%RMS-F-RER, file read error"

At this point all the DECwindows processes on the server, initiated by the
client, die.
We have tried starting the applications off interactively and in batch, but the
problem still occurs. The processes normally die a few hours after they are
started. The server node is a Vax 6320 and the clients are VaxstationII/GPX.
The 6320 and the satellites are part of the same cluster running vms 5.1-1.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.

Have you tried checking the error log for disk failures at the same time
your clients die?  I am having that trouble right now, only it is page
disk and I get "page read error".

Yes I've looked in the log file, but no joy.

I'm beginning to think it may be a network problem but I'm not sure
exactly what.

Tracy Hi,

To raise the dialog box, you might try using the XRaiseWindow function
which should do the trick.

	XRaiseWindow(XtDisplay(dial_box_widget_id),
			XtWindow(XtParent(dial_box_widget_id)));
