Joining the party a *little* late here ... :-) I too have a dual-CPU Xeon made by HP and it too has a problem with a tcsh script hanging when it runs for a long time (it's a polling script). We suspect that it might have to do with forking, but are unable to test that theory at this time. Apart from disabling the 2nd CPU (which kind of defeats the purpose of having such a machine!), did you ever find any other solution? thanks Stewart -- Stewart Midwinter [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype, GoogleTalk, iChatAV, MSN, Yahoo: midtoad AIM:midtoad1 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
