System name: monisha
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.3P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Find out why my system was so slow.
What's wrong:
I sometimes have multiple mwm's running at the same time.
What should have happened:
I assume I should only mwm running in any given session/
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I will include the old replay of my questions so far. Also note
that I hadn't given access to read my dot files, but will if a
particular person needs access.
Also, I did log out on Monday, 3/16, but it doesn't appear that
I did based on the olc info about log in and outs. I always use the
logout button on campus and the "logout" command from dialup.
Thanks.

Hi Mary,
Sorry no one was available to answer your question when you were logged on.
You asked:
|> What would cause me to be running more than one mwm at once? This is
|> what showed when I typed top earlier this week:
It would seem that mwm is not exiting properly when you log out. I'm not
sure what would cause this, but it would help if we could take a look at
your dotfiles. Perhaps that could be something caused by the way that you
have your workstation set?
If you don't mind us looking at your dotfiles, please type:
fs sa ~/ system:consultants read
That will give the permission to look at your homedir by all athena
consultants. I'm not sure what else I can suggest.. I will leave your
question active, so that you can get back to us.

Two mwm's are showing, and I've seen it on other days too. I's not too bad
(slow) today, but when a few are left running it gets real slow!
Should I pass this on to bugs@athena or use sendbug? thanks,
Mary

Yeah, it sounds like this is a pretty interesting bug to report. Do you
remain logged in for a very long time?
(nuke the mwm... that's taking up a lot of cpu time)
