What were you trying to do?
Bring up an xterm. I already had two running, one which I
started up by hand.
What's wrong:
I got this error:
xterm: Error 15, errno 22: Invalid argument
I tried every rsaixbin xterm binary I could find (except for
aixterm, but that doesn't count. :-), and they all gave me the same
error. I logged out and logged in as mwm_user, and got Error 33 instead
of 15, but otherwise the problem was the same. Rebooting the
workstation fixed the problem. Note: these are the codes from error.h
in the xterm source for the errors I observed:
#define ERROR_TIOCGETP 15 /* spawn: ioctl() failed on TIOCGETP */
#define ERROR_NOX 33 /* get_terminal: can't connect to server */
I am not sure if this is xterm's fault.
What should have happened:
I should either get an xterm or at least a better diagnostic in
my error message.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
xterm(1)
