What were you trying to do?
Run codecenter out of the codcenter4 locker. I did:
add codecenter4
codecenter -motif &
What's wrong:
It brought up a window with the following messages:
cllmgr: cannot initialize license system, status = 1
>>> license_init: unable to locate license file
cllmgr: cannot initialize license system, status = 1
>>> license_init: unable to locate license file
Then, about 3 minutes later, I got a light blue window
telling me: ``Initializing windows. Please wait.''
I went to the bathroom. When I came back a few minutes
later, nothing had happened. I observed that there
were about a dozen or so processes running out of the
codecenter4 locker. The blue window was hung (it wasn't
refreshing on expose events, and the hourglass cursor
was still active.)
This is repeatable.
What should have happened:
Even if the license server is down, it shouldn't hose
my machine. Haven't they heard of timeouts? It should
display some informative error diagnostic and either
exit or allow me to to quit. I shouldn't have to kill
off n random processes manually.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
