9143.0. "Problem under v4.0a with LAT ?" by VAXRIO::63116::CARDOSO () Wed Mar 12 1997 13:06

	Hi everyone,

	I have a customer with a recently upgraded system.
	He is running OSF/1 v4.0a with Progress database.
	Immediately after the upgrade he started to complain about queues not 
	printing. Intermittantly some of it's LAT's queues stops printing, 
there is no error message in /usr/adm/lp15err, except for "cat:output 
error" when I tried to cat a file. Once it happens, if you issue a file 
command towards the LAT device in question it hangs your process, the only way 
to get around is to stop and start LAT.
	The Server involved is a 90TL, with v1.1 bl 44-10 lat v5.1 rom 2.0.0
	I have checked about any patch, but found none.

	Please any help would be appreciated.
	
	Thanks in advance,

	Regards

9143.1two things to checkNETRIX::"[email protected]"leon straussWed Mar 12 1997 16:5914
Two things you can check ...

	# latcp -d -P
	to confirm that the connection exists between
	the tty device and the terminal server+port

	# ps -YOUR-FAVOURITE-FLAGS to see if there
	is any other process (e.g. an orphan print
	filter) that is still talking to the device.

Hope this helps

	leon
