Re: ontape error message

I don't know what the reason could be for this error, but I think it could be something with connection to the server. I suppose it is a UNIX version of IDS ? 1. First of all on this error type I would truss the ontape to see the system calls after wich the ontape dies. It could help. 2. Check the limit on number of processes for a user in your kernel parameter. Although I have big doubts this is the cause. 3. Check the number of connections configured in NETTYPE ? Is this number exceeded ? I didn't get such error, and I don't know what else could be.
