Strange behaviour with automatic DECterm at Startup

Hello Managers,

I'm not sure that it's a TRU64 Unix problem but it should be.

My workstation is an OpenVMS workstation. At login time, I have some
tasks in the automatic startup menu and some of them are opening DECterm
windows in wich there are automatic rlogin commands on Tru64 Unix
computers.

I've always got problems with some of them following the Tru64 Unix
version : after a fix number of seconds the Decterm is closed even if I
was typing some characters and the process running is stopped. Then I
was able to start again the same process from the Session Manager and
the window never closed, so it seems that it's not an autologout time
problem.

Now all my Unix systems are running 5.1A and for all the systems but one
the window is closed after some 90 seconds.

The running shell is tcsh. The .login and .cshrc files on the user
account are the same.

Some ideas about this strange behaviour ?

Thank you in advance,
