Some time ago I got ksh to work on SCO Xenix 2.2 (286) with job control using the "shell layering" feature. I configured a lot of shell layers, since the 12 pseudo-consoles each needed 8 layers, plus 8 for each of the 2 serial ports... It all works pretty well, almost feels like having a BSD system. (you stop jobs with control-z, play with "bg" and "fg", all just like on a Berkeley system. i really loved it...) BUT... every once in a while the kernel panics when switching between foreground and background. (about once every half hour when i use it...) Did anybody else experience panics too when using shell layers? If so, is there a fix, or is it just another feature to be avoided? Paul. (by the way, NO i cannot give you this ksh, since it is owned by AT&T)

[Having nothing at all to do with the subject] I would think equating `every once in a while' to `about once every half hour', when discussing panics, is like calling the Atlantic Ocean a puddle :-) Dave Hammond UUCP: uunet!masa.com!{marob|dsix2}!daveh DOMAIN: daveh@marob.masa.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
