    Dear Managers,

            I was trying to set path for gcc in the .cshrc file of my user
    login and then executed the .cshrc file. Here starts the problem: on
    the editor I was getting a message saying "max process (=256) started,
    cannot start more. I couldn't kill it either so I rebooted the server.
    Now when I try to login again, remotely I see the following when I run
    ps -u(username) command:

    1493 ?? S 0:00.06 /usr/bin/csh -c unsetenv _ PWD; echo '---
     not s ourcing /home2/users/krajaya/.login (see
     /home2/users/krajaya/.dtprofile)' >> /home2/users/krajaya/.dt/startlog;

    unsetenv DT; /usr/dt/bin/sdtdbcache -init; (set
      path = ( /usr/dt/bin $path ); /usr/dt/bin/ttsession -s ); exec
     /usr/dt/bin/dtse
     ssion >&! /dev/null

    and I see many process spawned when I check it from the root machine.
    When I kill the above mentioned PID the remote login is stopped and when
    I try to login again I go through the same problem. I'm unable to logon
    to my user account. Any clue what's causing this problem? Any help is
    appreciated. Thanks!

    -Kiran
