i'm having a problem with 'setld' on a DECstation 5000 running ULTRIX 4.1 when trying to extract '-x' or load '-l' software setld hangs...i've tried running in debug mode 'sh5 -x setld -l /dev/rmt1h' and the problem appears to be that setld is waiting for a process it created to terminate...this process never terminates, so setld sits there waiting...if i manually kill the process it's waiting for, setld continues on it's merry way until the next wait of a process termination...i can extract the information off of our other DECstations with no problem, so it's not the tape, and i've extracted on another DECstation and copied to disk on the problem system, ran setld against the disk files and the same problem occurs... any clues would be appreciated... -- --------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------- John Reber | This space intentionally | The Fox Chase Cancer Center reber@fccc.edu | left blank | 7701 Burholme Avenue (215) 728-3633 | | Philadelphia, PA 19111
