Oh, but now you shed some extra light. You write: > something like there is console input waiting This is not really related to TERM HOLD OFF or MORE x y It means someone sent a console command to the user, and the user didn't read it yet. In case of PROP it means CMS didn't read it yet, often a signal that CMS is really sick. Unless you use CP SEND and send consecutive commands too quickly. Do not code 'CP SEND xyz command1' 'CP SEND xyz command2' 'CP SEND xyz command3' But 'CP SEND xyz command1' 'CP SLEEP 1 SEC' 'CP SEND xyz command2' 'CP SLEEP 1 SEC' 'CP SEND xyz command3'
Furthermore: to send commands to a PROP running user, one should not use CP SEND, but MESSAGE: CP M OPERATOR CMD command If memory serves well, the only command PROP accepts at its console is STOP. 2008/7/21 Howard Rifkind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks for the replies. > > No, I'm not going into VM to muck around there, home mortage, college loans > to pay...can afford to loose job. > > Well when OP1 (using PROP) is in hold mode then command submitted to the > Operator from else where won't get executed until the hold is cleared.
