dtlogin process dies

[Steve Lemons]

I have several HP 712 and B180 workstations that the dtlogin process dies for no apparent reason. Then I have to restart the process.

I can create a cron job to check and restart it every minute, but I would like to find the problem and fix it.

Anybody have an idea why this is happening?

Thanks
Steve

Check /var/dt/Xerrors for any errormessages.
Also if you are logged in and the process dies check:
$HOME/.dt/errorlog
$HOME/.dt/startlog

Also verify that:
nslookup
nslookup
Gives the same result.

also get the latest CDE & Motf patches installed : also run the CDE diagnostic tool /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt and check for warning & errors.

Let us know what you find.
