This is a replay of a message I posted in December of 2000. The ghost user
problem with RBase for Windows 6.5+ has has continued. Whenever a user
crashes or exits improperly, say by turning off a machine accidentally, that
user remains connected to the database until the server is rebooted. This
is on Novell 4.11. We wind up with a gradually increasing number of
connected users and locked tables as this process continues through time.
Is there any way to disconnect the users.
Novell Monitor does not show the connections. According to Monitor no one
is using the R:Base files who is not currently really connected so Monitor
can't be used to get rid of them. It was my understanding that Novell is
supposed to get rid of such connections/locks after about 10 minutes if the
user has gone away. Is there some setting I should be looking at that would
cause Novell not to do this?
