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 ...

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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leroy Dreyfuss Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:49 a.m. To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: Re: UNCLASSIFIED RE: How to safely kill a runaway UniVerse (was unida ta) process 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.
