Mon system shows high CPU

I installed FreeAxp 283, and now the monitor/topcpu works.

I am not sure if it is safe to reinstall SRI-IDLE.

John,

one problem solved, now up to the next one

You can simply disable/enable SRI IDLE by using the system parameter LOAD_SYS_IMAGES. Default is 7, changing it to 6 (clearing bit 0 = SGN$V_LOAD_SYS_IMAGES) prevents SYS$IDLE from being loaded during boot.

I'm running IDLE V1.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 on a CHARON-AXP system and also on PersonalAlpha. It does not cause problems. I'm also running it on FreeAXP .271 with OpenVMS V7.3-2.

If it would cause problems in FreeAXP (high Int stack), you would want to have this analyzed and addressed. Use PCS$SDA tracing as shown in one of my previous replies to try to collect some data...

Volker.

I use to have IDLE 1.2 installed, not IDLE 1.1. I do not have IDLE 1.1 to try.
