When system limits are exceeded, the operating system advises you by displaying messages on the console. Some of the messages are advisory only. Others precede a system panic: the system displays some additional diagnostic messages and then ``hangs,'' requiring you to reboot.
If you are running X, these messages may not appear on your console. If your system hangs, switch to the console multiscreen by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F1>, if possible, and read the diagnostic messages. If you cannot switch multiscreens, reboot the system and read the messages in the /usr/adm/messages and /usr/adm/syslog files.
If you use multiple servers (X terminals or console multiscreens) with an SCO OpenServer system, you may need to reset some system parameters. See ``Kernel parameters that you can change using configure''.
Kernel error messages that appear while running this product are
similar to this:
CONFIG: routine - Out of streams (NSTREAM = n exceeded)
routine is the kernel routine that requested a stream or queue, but did not allocate one and n is a decimal number indicating the current value of the parameter setting. For information on modifying NSTREAM and other kernel parameters, and on relinking the kernel, see ``Configuring kernel parameters'' and the configure(ADM) manual page.
For detailed information on
modifying kernel tuning parameters, see
``Configuring kernel parameters''.
