Re: medm unable to contact CA repeater after 50 tries

["M.C.Shao" <ShaoMingchao97@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn>]

hi, I am using EPICS BASE cvs snapshot downloaded from epics homepage on 2003-03-12, I forgot when it's committed to the base repository.
medm version is the lastest version: 3.03beta2. There is no such problem before, it's very strange. I met this problem twice, last time is a few days ago.
Here is the details of this condition:
1) caRepeater's path(/usr/local/epics/base/bin/linux-x86) is inlucluded in my path environment. 
2)After start medm, issue the following command, indicating that a copy of caRepeater is running. 
[root@Ashao root]# ps axj |grep caRepeater
    1  7450  7445   991 pts/0     7841 S        0   0:00 caRepeater
 7236  7850  7849  7236 pts/1     7849 R        0   0:00 grep caRepeater
3)Issue the following command
    [root@Ashao root]# netstat -a |grep 5065
    udp        0      0 *:5065                  *:*
