https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/socket-erroe/m-p/2534681#M25723 I have an application running on hpux 10.2. It has been running fine. Just recently it started giving me the error "timeout waiting to get sock file: /tmp/helper.3157". It puts the helper file in /tmp and also an orb file that is a socket file. I don't know socket errors very well. Can anyone enlighten me?
