RE: Client Access stays connected

Is this a generic behavior of emulators?  Emerald boards worked the same
way.  Most of our users are limited to one signon.  It's a guilty pleasure,
but there's something perversely satisfying about solving the ghost session
problem.  I remember one person saying "...and I clicked on the little X
thing [windows close button] and now I can't sign on."

> When any of our users need to reboot their PC because of a Windows lockup
or error, their Client Access sessions remain active on the AS/400.  From
the As/400 they look like they are still active.  Then, since we name our
display sessions to match the PC the person is at, they can't reconnect to
the AS/400 after reboot because that device is still active and in use. The
user just gets a black screen with no indication of the problem.  We have
tested this and sometimes the session will remain active for 30 minutes or
more.  We usually end of terminating the sessions so the user can reconnect.
Is there some setting somewhere that we can change that would stop this from
happenning ?


gee, i was hoping someone would answer because we have the same problem,
especially on remote connections when line noise knocks us off.  

what i do is use the generic connection to sign back on (y'know, the
little as/400 on the desktop), end the named sessions, wait about 2
minutes, and then restart my batch file.  not really elegant, but it
does the job.
