From: Mignon Erixon-Stanford Thanks for the info. If I'd had my head on straight, I would have looked it up in the documentation. About paging...any suggestions for the following nightmare? We've got SP5, dual (dueling !?!) processors and 16Mb. Our paging is fairly high and LISTSERV takes about 10%. IBM suggests we buy a 3090 or HPO and more Mbs. HA! Bloody likely with 32% cutbacks. Our head honcho said he'll disallow LISTSERV if I don't get the paging down. Our sys prog is breathing down my neck. Would setting the priority lower for LISTSERV do the trick? Ideas appreciated.
