Please repost the "lpd" code for SGI. It was archived on our system before I could pick it up. Thanks,Jeanne

What are the lpd codes please?
We have been having a lot of shut downs of the window server
due to
signal 15
I do not know what causes that to happen.

What's that got to do with the signal 15? signal 15 is SIGTERM. Something has sent a SIGTERM to the window server UNIX kills the process. The only reason I know of why this signal would be sent is that something happened to the graphics subsystem such that it needed to be reset. When this happens the kernel sends a SIGTERM to all graphics processes to remove them prior to resetting the graphics. You are probably running some program that does bad things to the graphics pipeline. There should be some other message in your syslog file such as "fifo timeout". -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@ramoth.sgi.com, ...{ames,decwrl,sun}!sgi!msc "There is much virtue in a window.
