"ever learning" decwindows is fun but frustrating sometimes. I have the situation where all of my group's workstations have empty server error logs but mine! And so far I've been unable to find anything different between the systems that would account for this difference. I've checked the following: file protection/owner are the same decwindows startup files seem to be the same. Is there a startup parameter somewhere that i've missed. Has anyone else had this problem (and knows whats going on) THanks for your attention. Steve

Which version of DECwindows and VMS are you using? In version 1, error messages from the server were not flushed out immediately, so it is quite likely that all their error messages are still buffered inside the server's RMS buffers. You can test this by generating more data for the error log until the buffer fills and RMS writes the buffer to disk (try a connection from an unauthorized user). In version 2, the error messages should always be flushed out immediately. | |||||
