I can't SET KSYS, but every single other thing works! KSYS requires BATCON, so maybe there is something wrong with that. Do you have tweaked your SYS:SYSTEM.CMD file and set the right permissions? It should contain at least something like this to enable batch processing: SET BATCH-STREAM 0 TIME-LIMIT 0:10 SET BATCH-STREAM 1 TIME-LIMIT 0:60 SET BATCH-STREAM 2 TIME-LIMIT 10:100000 START BATCH-STREAM 0:2 SET BATCH-STREAM 0:3 NOOPR-INTERVENTION SET BATCH-STREAM 0 TIME-LIMITS 0:300 SET BATCH-STREAM 1 TIME-LIMITS 0:600 SET BATCH-STREAM 2 TIME-LIMITS 600:6000 SET BATCH-STREAM 3 TIME-LIMITS 0:6000 SET BATCH-STREAM 3 PRIORITY 20:63 START BATCH-STREAM 0:3 is the system.cmd i'm using (stolen from TWONKY) RUN BATCON seems to not start. It might need started earlier though. And something like this to enable remote DECnet file access: SET FAL-STREAM 0 NETWORK DECNET SET FAL-STREAM 1 NETWORK DECNET SET FAL-STREAM 2 NETWORK DECNET DEFINE FILE-ACCESS DEFAULT-PPN [377777,377777] START FAL-STREAM 0:2 Those I WILL add though. You may want to try these commands at the OPR> prompt before putting them into the SYS:SYSTEM.CMD file. Status of MARLEY TOPS-10 MONITOR at 16:39:09 on 15-May-113 Uptime 43:17, 114% Null time = 114% Idle + 0% Lost, 1% Overhead More than 100% is not very good. It happened to me with a monitor that was unable to keep time: try some DAYTIME commands in a couple of minutes and check if it says the correct wall clock time or not... It's off by about 30 seconds to a minute...not unexpected due to manually setting the time. 9 [OPR] 751 5 ^C 0 This does not seem very good too: it's not detached, it's running nothing, and it's in "^C" state... Maybe it's a stale BATCON process? Yeah, that's a stale job. HTH, G. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
