Can anyone tell me why DECNet links seek to keep accumulating to my server object. Nothing I do seems to make them go away. Resetting the server does no good, and obvious NCP commands seem to do nothing either. I don't find links in the `closed' state on other nodes.... Here is a list: $ ncp sho kno links sta Known Link Volatile Status as of 20-JUL-1989 15:28:38 Link Node PID Process Remote link State 8202 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 24771 closed 8212 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 24913 closed 8256 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 16 closed 8257 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 17 closed 8258 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 18 closed 8272 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 24788 closed 8278 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 8205 closed 8290 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 8562 closed 8297 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 8617 closed 8306 7.52 (LATOUR) 00000056 DECW$SERVER_0 8268 closed $

| 1149.2 | I've got a problem with this too | OPG::KEN | Ken Lee @REO 830 6778 | Tue Feb 13 1990 15:39 | 20 |
I have an application which is causing this same problem, sometimes chewing
up all available resources. What seems to happen, is that if the display I am
trying to open is logged out, or otherwise unavailable, a link is created, goes
to a 'closed' state, but doesn't go away until the image exits. As the routine
may have several displays open, I don't want to just die off just because I am
unable to open a display.
I see that this was first mentioned some time ago, has anyone found an
answer yet?
This same application suffers from another problem :- If any of the opened
displays causes a fatal I/O error (eg gets logged out or otherwise breaks the
conection), DECWindows causes the whole thing to fall over. The documentation
about SET I/O ERROR HANDLER states that if the user supplied error handler
returns, then the image will exit anyway. Is there any way around this?
BTW We are using VMS 5.3 and associated DECWindows.
Ken.
