Hi, I'm Walter from Lima-Peru

Recv failed: Connection reset by peer

I really don't know what can I do in this case
Hope you can help

Walter:

This is an umbrella error. The error could be due to a variety of situations, including some transient connection error. If you provide more specifics, perhaps we can narrow done the problem.

Thanks James.. well first, I execute a same shell,(It made a oracle backup) for a user with less tables than the other ones, and this ends without any problem.
I was thinking that could be for execution time. Can we control the remote shell time, with a parameter in UNIX?, we've HP-UX10.20 and our DB is an Oracle 7.3.4, but as I said before, one of this proceess ends without problems. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Walter:

The Posix shell's TMOUT value if set to a value greater than zero, will cause the shell to terminate if a command is not entered within TMOUT number of seconds after issuing the PS1 prompt.

Do you have this situation?

It's so possible that is happen .. but I was trying to know about this value, but I don't be able to execute posix even with root user! .. is a reserved word? command?, there is other way to know about this?

[Bill Thorsteinson]

posix is the designation for the new shell sh. Rsh uses
sh as its shell so you are executing it. Bourne based
shells including posix sh include the timeout functionality.

Check the timeout value by running the following
env | grep TMO

The timeout value is in seconds.

Hi again, James & Bill, sorry but I was out of office, for a few days, and recently I'm checking your answers. Thanks again. immediatly I was trying to test this points, but at the end, the environment does not include any words likes TMOUT. I was thinking maybe when we connect by rsh, assign others config values, so I put this env value (TMOUT=3600) but it didn't work. I'll appreciate your comments. thanks, again, in advance
pd: Maybe I'm doing something wrong in this assign?
