Sorry - I don't see the debugger in UniData (a we don't run UD, b I have
no idea how to use any U2 debugger :-)

I was talking about using Windows task manager to attach the Windows
debugger to a Windows-level terminal process.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, and this is the only way I have
found to successfully terminate a rouge process ...

Cheers,
Wol

Sorry LeRoy, I have confused you!

I don't have any problem killing a UniVerse task, I prefer to try this
sequence
        "LOGOUT <pid>", then 
        "...\uv\bin\kill <pid>", a couple of times - almost always
works,
then
        "...\uv\bin\kill -2 <pid>", then
        "...\uv\bin\kill -9 <pid>",  then ONLY AS A LAST RESORT
        Task manager "Kill"

What I can't do is chuck the process into the debugger, because the
'debug'
option in the task manager right-button menu is greyed out.  When I have
a
mysteriously-stuck program in the development environment, being able to
throw it into the UniVerse debugger would be really useful: at least I
could
find out where it is and what it thinks it is doing.
Maybe a debugger has to be registered for /associated with the process
in
some way to make this menu option visible?
Since Wol said he _does_ see 'debug' in UniData, and I don't in
UniVerse,
maybe there's something you guys could do in the UV product to make it
happen for us too?  Please :-)

Thanks


Mike

Actually, at release 10+, it should be successful via Windows Task
Manager's
kill option. UV 10 and higher use detached processes by default, and
KeepAlive (for tl_server processes) was added as well. If it really
becomes
necessary to kill a process that for some reason has ignored its
KeepAlive
setting (assuming the telnet client has been disconnected from the
socket),
the kill.exe in uv\bin was updated in 10 to do a better job at killing
processes, though it could take a few seconds to come back to the DOS
prompt. I cannot recall when it hasn't work at 10.x.

When all else fails, download the sysinternals.com Process Explorer and
use
its kill option. Remember that if you have updates pending, your open
files
may be at some risk.
