2514.0. "Fetcher locking OPA0" by FLEX7::PATON_S (It's not easy having a good time!) Fri Feb 07 1997 17:14

    We have a client who has described the following problem.
    
    They come to use the operator console and get no response.
    When they look at the device it has been assigned/allocated by the
    fetcher!
    If they stop the fetcher then the console is released.
    
    This is all the information we have at present.

    Any ideas?

2514.1A few thoughtsIOSG::MARSHALLFri Feb 07 1997 18:469
Is it reproduceable?

Did they (perhaps mistakenly) start the Fetcher "interactively" from the console?

Did the redirect the Fetcher output to the console?

Are any logical names erroneously pointing at the console?

    There are odd circumstances where the mail code sends messages to the
    operators console, perhaps one of those got interrupted, and left the
    device allocated?
    
    Otherwise, ask the OpenVS folks?

        How about a mail destination of OPA0 or a printer of OPA0:
