Re: TCP/IP

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My solution to ending jobs where users "X"d or cancelled their telnet
session or powered off has been a set of programs running all the time. All
the users have named devices, so I put them in a file.
Every 5 minutes the pgm wakes up & attempts vary off. If it is truly active,
it will not vary off. Then vary on.
It does 40 devices in less than 30 seconds. Been running for 3-4 years. jim
/* GET STATUS OF WORKSTATION */
             RTVCFGSTS  CFGD(&TERMINAL) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STSCDE(&STATUS)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)
/* IF NOT VARY ON PENDING */
             IF         COND(&STATUS *NE 20) THEN(DO) /* 20 = varied +
                          oN PENDING */
             VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(&TERMINAL) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)
             VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(&TERMINAL) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)

Believe it or not, we have had this problem, ongoing for years.  The answer
was due to the user re-booting their pc (windows 3.1, 3.2 , 95, 98)
connecting through SNA or TCP/IP, for whatever reason, (usually their p.c
became "FROZEN") WITHOUT signing off their AS/400 session, and it always
seem to be the same handful of culprits —-- er I mean users.

was to sit alongside them until the problem happened while I was there.
Unfourtunately, I have NOT been able to find a remedy for this situation,
except to end their session on the AS/400 so that they could  sign back on
again.
