abstract

This file corrects a problem with previous versions of MONITOR.NLM for NetWare 3.11 that could cause a General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) on the server. The GPPE would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended periods of time. This file keeps the console locked in cases such as PSERVER being unloaded remotely through PCONSOLE.

installation

To install MONITOR.NLM v1.76 complete the following instructions:

(note, unload MONITOR at the console)

1) Flag MONITOR.NLM as N (Normal) in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

2) Rename the existing copy of MONITOR.NLM to MONITOR.OLD for backup purposes.

3) Copy this new version of MONITOR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

4) Flag the new copy of MONITOR.NLM back to SRO (Sharable Read Only).

5) Type LOAD MONITOR at the console.

README of MON176.EXE

This README file of MON176.EXE accompanies MONITOR.NLM v1.76 for NetWare v3.11 v3.12.

This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.76) includes a fix to keep the console locked in MONITOR under all conditions. In previous versions of MONITOR if an application such as the PServer was unloaded remotely via PCONSOLE it would cause the console to unlock.

This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.76) corrects a problem seen in previous versions of MONITOR.NLM. These previous versions could cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process" error on the server. This would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended periods of time (30 days or so) and was caused by resource contention between the foreground and background processes of MONITOR. This version supercedes previous versions and includes all such fixes.

To install MONITOR.NLM v1.76 complete the following instructions:

(note, unload MONITOR at the console)

1) Flag MONITOR.NLM as N (Normal) in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

2) Rename the existing copy of MONITOR.NLM to MONITOR.OLD for backup purposes.

3) Copy this new version of MONITOR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

4) Flag the new copy of MONITOR.NLM back to SRO (Sharable Read Only).

5) Type LOAD MONITOR at the console.
