[micro.unix] Run away Getty << Hi-O-Silver >>

jmp@ecsvax.UUCP (Mike Pressley) (05/11/89)

Dear SCO Gurus,

We received our SCO system about a month ago and we are tickled pink with
it, except for one little problem.  Sometimes, a user will go into FoxBase
and get locked up for some reason or another and the getty keeps on running.
We have tried everything we know of to kill that process, but we have not
had any luck?? We would be grateful if someone could take a look at the
following example and render any suggestions or help in any way.

        **** Thank You Very Much! ****
