dntask behaves very oddly. Whats happening ?
The first thing to remember is that the command procedure on the OpenVMS machine must always send some output to SYS$NET, even if you are just launching an X-windows application (see DECTERM.COM), the DECnet protocol demands it. Also remember that accessing command procedures as objects is actually quite a low-level function so things can break very easily. Make sure that the switches you give to dntask match the characteristics of the remote command procedure. If your object is behaving strangely it may be useful to look in the NETSERVER.LOG files in the SYS$LOGIN directory of the remote user. If you want to debug a task then WRITEs to SYS$OUTPUT will appear in NETSERVER.LOG too so you can trace what is happening.
