Hi Debbie Nice to hear from you. I got me a 'real' job down here in Tampa.
Thanks for the pointers. Our sysadmin (as usual) does not know UniVerse so there's a lot of "blind leading the blind" going on. The "cross-platform termination" sounds plausible but the name of the parent process (bin/usd /usr/opt/uv/spool/uv) seems to indicate that it is something to do with print jobs. Our development box uses UV.NET to share some files with production. That is not an issue where the production box does not use UV.NET for the same files. I'm just not sure how to identify the source of these processes. It's one of those situations where nobody really knows what is causing the problem and so no-one (including me <grin> ) wants to take ownership. I'm just hoping I can find some sort of clue to help figure out where to start looking.
