I don't think that UniObjects puppy runs an UDT.EXE - It runs a RPC
server variant instead...  a matched pair of "udapi_server.exe" and
"udapi_slave.exe" running under the "unirpcd.exe" tree.

I would look at your telnetd service as spawning them with "login: "
prompts scrolling by on the client side...  (Esp if under the process
explorer they are under the telnetd service process) What I see is when
the "login: " repeats, UDT starts a new UDT.EXE and the old one dies at
that moment.  I changed my timeout settings in UniAdmin to slow this
process down a bit.  

The other thought would be phantoms spawning and not killing their
UDT.EXE.  These puppies appear as thou they do not have a parent process
if you login, spawn phantom, logout.  The reason would be that the
parent PID handle is no longer valid.

On windows 2003 they seem to die, but on your 2000 box they could be
staying alive... (evil?)

How fast are they stacking up?

Thanks to Marc/Victor/Anthony for the responses.

We do have one VB.NET app that uses UniObjects to access the DB --
that's about the only thing I haven't totally exhausted yet...

I'll see if I can find anything odd occurring with those processes.

Hello Mark

We had a situation recently that sounds similar to yours, but only on a
development machine.  Unfortunately it happened over the weekend and the
system admin rebooted the box, to get rid of the extra udt.exe
processes, before I could get in to examine the situation thoroughly. In
our case there were only 4, but they were all grabbing all the cpu they
could get, pegging it out at 100% all the time.

We're on UniData 7.1 on W2K3.  

In our case, I believe the cause was terminated UniObjects connections.
A UniObjects process was calling a UniBasic program via the uniCommand
method.  The UniBasic program had a debug statement in it, which caused
the UniObjects app to hang.  It had to be terminated.

Don't know if you're using UniObjects, but maybe our experience will
give you a hint you can use.

Subject: [U2] "extra" UDT.EXE's

Has anyone ever had a problem with extra unidentified UDT.EXE processes
spawning -- and then never dying?

For example, on our main server running Unidata 6.012 on Windows 2000,
the UniAdmin tool usually shows around 100 connections during production
hours. When I then dump the process list end examine it, I count over
300 UDT.EXE's -- these extraneous processes consuming an average of
2.3MB - 2.5MB of RAM and 0% processor. This is after about 3 days of
uptime, indicating that the number steadily grows as time passes --
forcing us to reboot about twice per week.

Hardware:
Dell 2650
2GB RAM
dual 2.GHz Xeons
split backplane, RAID 5 on the DB volume
