991.0. "Hanging Terminal processes" by 15361::BRUNELLE (John Brunelle - System Administrator) Tue Sep 19 1995 17:31

    Hi All,
    
    I am running Console Manager v1.6 with eco1 on a Digital Unix v3.2c
    system.
    
    Each time I start console manager, all my terminal sessions hang, not
    right away.  If I stop console manager, they free up.
    
    Any Ideas ?

991.1HELP is needed15361::BRUNELLEJohn Brunelle - System AdministratorThu Sep 21 1995 00:449
    Hello, 
    
    Can anybody help with this one.  I have been able to determine it's
    console manager, but need a solution.
    
    This problem is causing me great pain, and I need some direction.
    
    Thanks again,
    John

    John,
    
       Sorry to make you feel like you've been left out in the cold.
    
    Anyway, I can only guess as to why your other 'non-PCM' windows
    appear to be hanging. Here are a couple of things to try based on some
    guesses of mine. First, are you running the C3 gui interface? If so,
    this might be the cause. The C3 tries to make a connect to the
    main ENS and PCM processes. If the processes are missing, then 
    'sometimes' it goes into what appears to be a stalled mode. Because of
    this, it steals cycles from the Xserver and could make your workstation
    appear sluggish. Try starting PCM, but not the C3 and then do a 
    'cm -s' to get the status. Make sure both daemons are working.
    
    One other thing to test. There is a temporary directory in PCM which,
    if you clear it out, will eliminate this problem. I don't have access 
    to a Unix system at the moment, abd can only go on memory, but it's
    down in the pcm directory tree. Shutdown PCM and delete all the files
    in this tmp directory and then restart PCM and see if that doesn't
    help. It's in something like /var/kits/console/tmp or something
    to that affect.

    Dave,
    
    Thanks for the response.....
    
    'cm -s' doesn't appear to be a valid command.
    
    I also tried the later suggestion, and this didn't resolve the problem.
    
    The problem isn't directly related to the c3 display.  It's all
    function on the host.  Shutdown console manager, makes everything fine.
    
    thanks

    Sorry, it's console -d (console display_status). I'm afraid the rust is
    setting in already. Anyway, do you still have the problem?
