Hi, A customer is getting a strange message when he starts his raster imaging products from within a shell script. The application runs fine but they are really concerned about the message, it looks bad. The little detail I have is below. The <the large #> is decimal. The message: Error <the large #> initializing transport layer Some info: Alpha 3000/500 Unix 3.2C DEC C (-migrate) /bin/sh Any ideas. Thanks Carl

Could the application in question be printing the message? If you have access to the source to the application then you could try to grep for the string "initializing transport layer". (From the format of the message I'm guessing that the application doesn't have a function that's capable of gluing error messages together from bits of strings.) If you don't have access to the source you could run strings over the binary and pipe that through a grep for the same string. If you get a hit then you have a pretty good idea of who's printing the message. My own bet is that the application involved is printing this message, and not the shell. -- Farrell [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

I passed your advice along and sure enough it was his own product. Thanks, Carl | |||||
