Hi,

A customer started several installation jobson about 100 clients.
After some time the server didn't respond, so he crashed it.

	What image are they running? My guess is RSM$RECEIVER, which is a DECnet object (not known object), so there'll be at least one process per client. If there are 100 clients being services simultaneously, then I'd expect to see at least 100 receivers listening to them simultaneously, depending upon what they are doing. Would I expect more than one receiver per client? Maybe. It all depends upon what they are doing. Are each of those receiver processes (if that's indeed what they are) connected to their clients? Are any of them sub-processes? I'm not convinced that what you are seeing is necessarily wrong. Your system may have seemed hung simply because it was very busy. John Lawson, Computer Associates
