- The only thing that stands between the slave process and logging out is
- terminal I/O; disconnecting should have no effect if no output is done. The
- slave program definitely should not produce any I/O. This leaves the command
- file trapping and related environment.

-
- Just disable disreconnet prior to doing your reconnect. I don't see how this
- could be the problem. You could also simply set the terminal /NODISCONNECT
- and let VMS blow the process away instead of leaving it out there.

-
- Correct. But the information that pops out when you reconnect to one of
- these processes is critical to determining where the problem is.
