Help! I have a program which creates a subprocess to run a particular image. Sometimes, the process is created, but immediately dies. How can I find out *why* the subprocess dies? I have specified an equivalence name for SYS$ERROR, but I have not got a termination mailbox set up. If I read the manual correctly, no 'reason for deletion' info gets sent to the mailbox. Any help will be most gratefully received! Thanks! [This is a shared account. Please ignore the From: field, and reply to the following address.

I have specified an equivalence name Make sure accounting is turned on for you system and then have your system manager look into the accounting file. Every process that is even attempted to be created (that is the status = creprc(...) gives normal status) will have an entry. It may not help much, but it will give you some idea. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Stevens - NASA Ames Research Center Moffet Field CA Mail Stop 233-10 (415)694-4887 pstevens@ames-pioneer.arpa ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Stevens - NASA Ames Research Center Moffet Field CA Mail Stop 233-10 (415)694-4887 pstevens@ames-pioneer.arpa
