The Question is: We are currently using DEC MailWorks (DMW), along with Message Router and PMDF, as our mail system. Because of a problem of our users not logging out, we have set MAXJOBS to 1 (a long time ago). The problem we're experiencing is a warning on OPCOM whenever someone sends an e-mail: %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 27-MAY-1999 12:15:10.66 %%%%%%%%%%% (from node VAXB at 27-MAY-1999 12:15:07.03) Message from user AUDIT$SERVER on VAXB Security alarm (SECURITY) and security audit (SECURITY) on VAXB, system id: 1145 Auditable event: Batch process login failure Event time: 27-MAY-1999 12:15:07.01 PID: 20E0964A Process name: BATCH_195 Username: POLO1 Process owner: [MARCO,POLO1] Image name: $1$DIA0:[SYS1.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE Status: %LOGIN-F-USEREXC, you are at maximum allowed processes for your user name This may have always existed but it's just now surfacing after updating to VMS 6.2. X4MAN reports version 1.3A-3. Is there something I can change to avoid this error while still allowing only one login for each user? Thanks for all your help. The Answer is : The OpenVMS Wizard would recommend checking for other logins for this user via DCL in SYLOGIN.COM. Lexical functions such as f$getjpi can be used to determine the attributes of the current user as part of an INTERACTIVE login, and if there are any other instances of this user logged in on the local node or in an OpenVMS Cluster. (Make sure you code the check for INTERACTIVE mode, and skip it for any other modes that might be executing SYLOGIN.COM -- use the f$getjpi MODE item or the f$mode lexical to determine the mode for the current process.)
