I checked out the link you provided. It appears that the command dg_strace may be what you are suggesting. I have not had time to try it but it looks very interesting. Not having used a command like this before I may have a bit of a learning curve. Once I do try it on a failure I will let you know what I find. Thanks for the tip. Vance Dailey

You can use this to see what UniVerse is doing (at a very low level) - it may help you find the cause of this problem. As for finding the command, the various unix flavors all seem to call it something slightly different, but the Rosetta Stone may be able to help you: http://bhami.com/rosetta.html Look under the "tracing utility" item. -- Dave Kimmel [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
