Eric, The following ps(1) lines in your previous email UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD ldm 11254 11252 0 16:36 ? 00:00:00 pqact -f ANY /home/ldm/etc/pqact.split.wxp ldm 11257 11252 2 16:36 ? 00:00:04 pqact -f ANY /home/ldm/etc/pqact.split.gempak ldm 13889 11257 0 16:39 ? 00:00:00 pqact -f ANY /home/ldm/etc/pqact.split.gempak ldm 13943 11254 0 16:39 ? 00:00:00 pqact -f ANY /home/ldm/etc/pqact.split.wxp ldm 13944 11254 0 16:39 ? 00:00:00 pqact -f ANY /home/ldm/etc/pqact.split.wxp Show that pqact(1) process 13889 was started by pqact(1) process 11257 and that pqact(1) processes 13943 and 13944 were started by pqact(1) process 11254. The pqact(1) configuration-files "pqact.split.gempak" and "pqact.split.wxp" must contain (directly or indirectly) instructions to execute the pqact(1) program. Because this is causing problems, I suggest you look over those configuration-files to discover the cause. Regards, Steve Emmerson
