Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.4G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
I was using ez over telnet as well as the console.
What's wrong:
The thing just killed my ez window and all my running processes!
I had just started noe of them 5 minutes before that so I was
not idle for too long!
What should have happened:
Take a wild guess!
Comments:
This is the second time this has happened. It would seem to me
that your autologout software is buggy. I know why it is there and how
it is supposed to operate but I think that no one has the right to kill
active processes! If the console has been idle for a long time then kill
the console but at least leave any processes running!
It is annoying like hell to have to go digging into the machine's guts
to recover the last checkpoint file every hour or so because somebody
believes in running the machines under fascist rule!
PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NOW!
