X-client keeps disconnecting

abhay kumar_3 — Thu, 22 Sep 2005 10:56:52 GMT

I am using HP-UX 11.11.B.

My X-term client keeps disconnecting occasionally. If I use plain old TELNET, I dont have that problem.

any ideas ?

Hi,

Long time ago, I have the same problem (I'm using X-Manager 2.0). I don't remember how to fix this problem, but I think we checked the settings of firewalls between out PCs and Unix servers.

Hi Abhay,
try to launch xterm with "-l" and "-lf FILENAME" to turn logging on and check the FILENAME log file when your xterm disconnects again.

Rgds,
Alex

Did you check X server log and xterm log files ?

Is .profile is sourced while doing X apps?? You can set source profile=true in .dtprofile file. In .profile file you can set TMOUT=0

Also is firewall between?? If yes it can do so.

It is because of your shell is getting timed out. A setting in shell of,

TMOUT If set to a value greater than zero, the shell
terminates if a command is not entered within the
prescribed number of seconds after issuing the PS1
prompt.

Check out /etc/profile or .profile file. Change TMOUT to 0 as,

export TMOUT 0

Some one put in /etc/profile for this with value so that change it regardingly.
