343.0. "OAF/1 PCM Generating defunct processes" by 36939::HCARTER (M. Hill Carter @DTN 339-7781) Wed Aug 10 1994 19:46

    
    The OSF/1 POLYCENTER Console Manager product is generating defunct
    processes on my system until the process table fills up (see below).
    
    I am running OSF/1 V2.1 and PCM 
    
       DCROSFBASE150   installed       Console Mgr Base
       DCROSFBIN150    installed       Console Mgr OSF/1 AXP
       DCROSFENS150    installed       Console Mgr Event Notification
       DCROSFMAN150    installed       Console Mgr Man Pages
    
    Is there a fix for this problem. Right now I have to reboot my 
    system at least once a day.
    
    Thanks in advance for any help...

343.1OPG::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Thu Aug 11 1994 12:2415
Hi,

  Could you please mail eithe myself (OPG::PHILIP)
  or Simon Jackson (elbrig::sdj) an export of your
  configuration file so that we can attempt to
  duplicate your environment.

  Also, are you doing a lot of reconfigures or seeing
  a lot of connection lost events?

  We did have a problem with defunct processes during
  Field Test, but thought that we had fixed them all.

Cheers,
Phil

Was this ever fixed?   I've a customer seeing this ... 

Is it a fixed in 1.6 one?   Or 1.5a?

Or was it a client end problem (ie: old versions of
OSF/1 didn't tidy it's console correctly) or is it 
down to configuration in inittab?
