3234.0. "Laconic Session Manager" by ULTRA::ELLIS (David Ellis) Tue Aug 21 1990 09:41

The Session Manager is withholding useful information from its Messages
window.

On an Ultrix V3.1 system, I started up a dxrn process at my console session.
The Session Manager reported in its Messages window just the single word
"Killed".

When I ran dxrn from a terminal session, the reason was revealed:

	sorry, pid 13996 was killed: xalloc: no swap space

Why is the Session Manager not telling me what I need to know?  Is there
any way to get a _real_ console session like we had back in Ultrix V2.2?
It was _extremely_ useful to have the real console window capturing events
that were logged while I was logged off.  Not to mention being able to
find out what goes wrong while I'm logged on!

The best way to request UWS enhancements is to submit QARs through
GORGE.  The normal QAR login info applies.
