[idl version 2 on sun4-280/sunos 4.1.1 ]
My group has a network consisting of many sun-3's and a few sun-4's. IDL
is installed on one of the sun-4's, which has been designated as a "compute
server" until we've all got sparc's on our desks (I'm not holding my breath :)
Anyway, the way I use IDL with this setup is:
(from ~/.cshrc)
alias idl ' if ($DISPLAY =~ :*) setenv DISPLAY `hostname`$DISPLAY && on -i
ceres $IDL_DIR/bin/idl '
("ceres" is the server...I setenv IDL_DIR in my .login)
This usually works fine. However, sometimes after I exit IDL the "on -i" gets
hung up. I've watched the rpc.rexd process (on ceres) as I enter and exit IDL;
it always goes away, but I don't regain control of my xterm until I "kill -9"
on my machine. The worst thing is, it's intermittent. Anybody else have this
problem, or a potential fix?
Thanks in advance - if posting a reply, please email me a copy, as the newsfeed
is erratic lately.
