I am using gnuplot 2.0 on a sun3 workstation under suntools. When launched from sh, it works fine but does not exit at the end. The only way to stop it is to kull the process. I actually call it from a sh script but the same problem occurs with an interactive sh. So what is the problem? By the way, I tried to send a mail to pixar!info-gnuplot@sun.com but this user is unknown. What is the right address. Eric Domenjoud

Hello Dave. I got your mail but the MAILER-DAEMON was unable to retrieve your address. You write: > It should exit if you start it with a filename to read, eg > gnuplot foobar That's what I do. Gnuplot is called from the following sh script which is itself called from an interactive tcsh: #! /bin/sh [stuff deleted] NP=`cat fractal.dat | wc -l` NP=`expr $NP '*' 10` cat > fractal.plot <<EOF set samples $NP set nokey set noxtics set noytics set size 0.95,1 plot "fractal.dat" w l 1 pause -1 "Hit return" EOF gnuplot fractal.plot exit 0 It works fine until the pause and then hangs. > but it will not stop if you use it interactively, until you type 'exit' > or 'quit' or ^D. If you are feeding it a file, try adding an 'exit' command > to the end. I also tried this solution but it doesn't help. > > dave Eric Domenjoud
