I'm trying to figure out why my processes die. The NeXT system is a 68040 with 16mb of ram, color display, 160mb SCSI drive with 80mb free NFS mounted. I am running tcsh as my shell. The problem is that processes I put in the background (by using &) will die after a time. I put a csh script file in the background that has an endless loop and after some hours (varies) it will no longer be there. I have another program that after many hours will start giving "vm_allocate" errors (a system error message it seems as the author says that is not coming from his program) when memory is requested and will die. Can anyone suggest where I start looking for the source of this problem? -- Jonathan Bradshaw | jonathan@nova.decio.nd.edu -or- jbradsh2@darwin.cc.nd.edu Packet: n9oxe@n0ary.#nocal.ca.usa.na | Prodigy: XMSN02B | (Os/2)(DOS)(Linux) WNDU-AM/FM/TV South Bend, IN | Disclaimer "My opinions are not my employers" - "Busy life, not enough time to look in the mirror." - Deborah Ann Gibson -
