SUMMARY RE: Unable to fork

Re-cap

Thanks very much to all that responded.  Most every one pointed to - you are
out of memory.  The process, textprocmain.ksh, turned out to not be the
problem , just an innocent bystander.  When I ran top lo and behold, here is
process consuming lost of cycles.  This is a vendor process and when I
pointed this out to them, they had launched it late yesterday.  Kill the
process and all was well.

Thanks again to all for all your help

Subject: Unable to fork

Hello

We have a vendor in and is running a new process  on 450 test system.  The
following errors showed up in /var/adm/messages 

May 11 15:15:43 mike WChermdaemon: [ID 250203 user.error] Unable to fork

Vendor says the 450 has a problem .  I think its his process.
Any advice is appreciated

thanks
