Xref: mnetor comp.unix.questions:2162 news.sysadmin:197 I recently joined the 'net but have a problem. I am running System V, Release 2.2 on a VAX 730( No, that's NOT the problem). When I get my 'feed', uuxqt runs, forking a sh, who forks a sh, who forks a compress and rnews,( plus the compress forks an unbatch). I can get up to 6 of these running at once, which causes the 730 to slow down just a bit (-: . I currently get my feed from one site and don't send to anyone else ( until I get this problem resolved. ) It takes the 730 most of a working day to process 6 or 7 batch files in /usr/spool/uucp! It seems like these processes are fighing them selves. Any body have any suggestions? I appologize for the length of this posting, but I have included a sample ps to show what is going on.
