Hi,

Some times i am not able to open more than "n" number of xterms in my
X ( fvwm2 ).
'n' varies but the error I get while trying to open xterm through
another x term is

$ xterm
xterm: Error 29, errno 35: Resource temporarily unavailable
Reason: spawn: fork() failed

If I try to open aterm through another aterm i get.

$ aterm
aterm: can't fork
aterm: aborting

Sometimes

$ls

jut hangs!

What could be the trouble?

Thanks

Siju

I am not saying for sure this is your problem, but every time I have seen issue with fork it's because you reach the number of process limits under the login class of that user. Cold be as simple as that really and increasing the running process limits for the class used by that user may just do the trick. They are use the default class, if that account is special and does need more, then may be you can create a special class for it and increase the limits process allow here.

Just something to think about and try that I could think of. If that's not it, then sorry for the noise. Hope it help you never the less.

Best,

Daniel
