Re: [foxboro] Display Manager Stops Running on WP51F on Ver. 7.1.1

Thanks to those sending suggestions to my problem with a display manager as 
shown below.  Seems that I had 2 problems.  First was a hard drive that was 
marginal as I was getting lost+found errors in the /var/adm/messages file from 
the /opt partition.  Replaced the drive and that cleared that problem.  Issue 
with the DM going away was related to a display the operators would call up 
from the Current Alarm Display (CAD).  Whenever they called up a block detail 
from the CAD the displayed block detail would blink at different rates. I 
copied over the /opt/fox/dd_1/DFLT directory from a working station to this 
station and the problems have cleared.

Subject: [foxboro] Display Manager Stops Running on WP51F on Ver. 7.1.1

Has anyone experienced the display manager to stop working on a running WP5=
1F box running version 7.1.1 software?  Last week and again today I have ha=
d an experience where the display manager was not running on the box.  This=
 is a dual headed box and is run in the Windows Off mode.  What I have seen=
 is one head completely dark and the other has the Current Alarm page runni=
ng.  Normally I could select the Previous Display button on the CAD and it =
would take me to the FoxView display that was running, but that does not wo=
rk.  I can log in remotely to the box and when doing the ps -eaf command, t=
here are no DM processes running.  There are no messages in the /var/adm/me=
ssage file indicating any type of failure.  To get the box working again I =
just do a shutdown remotely and the restart the box and it works again.  An=
y suggestions where to look first?

Thanks,
