What were you trying to do?
I was working in matlab, which I was running out of /var/tmp.
What's wrong:
Matlab Suddenly stopped running, and exited with "Done" status. This
has happened twice yesterday and twice today; this morning (6:40 I
believe) and just this afternoon at about 6:07 Athena time. This
seems to coincide with the running of a crontab file in /etc but I am
unsure if the connection is real or not. Yesterday when it happened I
was also running netscape from /var/tmp and it too exited abruptly.
I have used matlab version 5.3.1 in /var/tmp before and do not recall
any problems. I would run this again but the -v option does not
appear to be supported for "add matlab" anymore.
What should have happened:
Matlab should not have exited, but rather it should have continued
along it's merry way.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I ran "strace -p PIN > mat_trace" on the matlab PIN this morning upon
starting up matlab, but the file mat_trace appears to be blank...?
Perhaps you can recover it. Apparently I am not zen with the "Way of
strace". Eit. Good luck.
Eric
