Re: MF Server rts32 does not run in AIX 5.3L batch queue

Thanks. I think that's what's happening. Is there a variable
or Declaration we can include in our script so that when
submitting a job to the job queue, any rts32 process within
there will be forced NOT to query the tty on batch jobs?

BTW, we submitted the same job to the background and
it is a stopped state. I had to kill it.
