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!
