Boutros: your problem lies in that you have used all your pseudo ttys (ptty´s). <br><br>You can therefor only run a limited number of xterms or perhaps xterm doesn´t work at all?<br><br>use &quot;mkdev ptty&quot; to increase the number of ptty´s<br><br> <p>Nostradamus<br><a href=mailto:soren.danielsson@liv.se>soren.danielsson@liv.se</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

hi Nostradamus,<br>About this ptty matter finally i was able to solve that it is a bit complicated but here is the solution:<br>Increasing ptys is accomplished by editing the /etc/system<br> file using the following syntax:<br> <br> set pt_cnt=128<br> <br> A reboot with the -r option is necessary to create the new devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;The following commands can be used to create the new devices:<br><br> # drvconfig<br> # devlinks<br>To verify the number of ptys so the following<br><br> &nbsp;&nbsp; # cd /dev<br> # ls pty* ¦ wc -l<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; # cd /dev/pts<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#ls <br> <br>
