Hi group,
DU 4.0B, DEC 3000-400
I have a user under whose account there are running
64 instances of comsat, the first of these processes
occurring from 10-Mar-97, the rest being started
until now about every day some instances.
As maxuprc is 64, the user is no more able to work.
I will kill these processes now, but:
-Does anybody have any idea what may have caused this?
-How do I prevent it in the future?
-Will any information get lost by killing comsats?
There are no ocurrences of comsat processes belonging to other users,
although the machine is used by about 100 persons for
e-mail accounts.
I do not understand fully the man pages, but as comsat
is somehow related to biff, I switched biff off now in this
user's .login by setting "biff n" (was: "biff y")
-Will this help?
TIA
