Sample DCL code for simple client-server task-to-task comms

Aaaaaaargh, I just mapped SYS$ERROR to net, and there was a bug in my python code that wouldn't let it run.

No - how do I do that? $ HELP ACCOUNTING ;) Right, this just got way too insanely complex for a simple wrapper around a Python script. I'm doing it on Linux. Sampsa

I've never had to reboot a VMS box for anything DECnet related. Yeah, this is some weird interaction between Python and DECNET TASKs. It refuses to start python, basically. Can Python be run non-interactively??? Are there any command line flags or qualifiers for use in non-interactive mode??? Are you trying to pass commands/data into Python via the DECnet channel??? It appears you are WRT your SYS$COMMAND definition. Error messages should contain insight! DECNET boxes seem pretty easy to DOS... Poor application programming is not the fault of the system it runs on! ;) A poor application program shouldn't take out the network stack :) And I doubt that it did... -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.

I've never had to reboot a VMS box for anything DECnet related. Yeah, this is some weird interaction between Python and DECNET TASKs. It refuses to start python, basically. Did you define the logicals and whatnot properly? DECNET boxes seem pretty easy to DOS... Poor application programming is not the fault of the system it runs on! ;) A poor application program shouldn't take out the network stack :) Isn't that proper behaviour on Windows? ;)

Have you looked at final status in process accounting??? There's an old adage: Shit happens! Here is my corollary: Shit happens for/with a reason! No - how do I do that? sampsa

This is so weird, it ran problem free for like 20 hours, then suddenly, boom, gone. Have you looked at final status in process accounting??? There's an old adage: Shit happens!
