Thanks to all who replied to my message. As far as I know we
are still using the fifo version of GRASS. We are running
grass (not xgrass) on solaris2.3. The ipcs -aq command returnedhawaii% ipcs -aq
IPC status from <running system> as of Fri Mar 10 09:49:01 1995
Message Queue facility not in system.
hawaii%I followed David Houlders second suggestion of rebooting and that
seems to have done the trick, some nuts require sledge hammers
I guess (particularly with my level of unix expertise!)I'm still curious as to why this "epidemic" started.
Thanks again
Tom
We have seen these type of problems occassionaly. Usually it is
caused by the graphics monitor while the mouse is active; ie. while
using d.what.rast or some other mouse command. Our only solution
also has been to reboot the machine. This has happened to us
on 3 different platforms: 1)AT&T SYS V Rel 3.2.x Unix on 386/486
2)Sun Sparc stations with SunOS 4.1.x 3)Unixware 1.x on 486.
