Ok, Mike if you say so.  The dispsub daemon process is started out of the
reg files, but my understanding was that it would be dormant until the TEC
request (it's a special trap) was received.  I have not observed any
outrageous behavior on my V5 box, so I assumed that it must have activated
from TEC.  But if the daemon is going nuts without a TEC  request, then you
could prevent the entire thing by removing the -Initial flag, as you say.
In that case, however, I'd suggest a call to Support so they can fix it.

Hi Don, hi James,

we had a similar poblem, some dispsub processes used up all the cpu-time
of a dual-prozessor F50 after the connection to some Netview X-Clients
was lost. We didn't use the TEC at all.

Advice was to look in

/usr/OV/registration/Cdispsub

for the following lines

Action "start_dispsub"    {
      Command -Initial -Shared "${dispsub:-/usr/OV/bin/dispsub}";
    }

(usually at the end of the file) and to delete the string "-Initial",
thus preventing dispsub from beeing started at Netview-Client-startup.

Hope that helps

Michael Seibold
