Hi
RWAST means Resource Waiting for ASynchronous Trap. They are usually
temporary but if for some reason you have a run away process they can remain
forever. I've seen this happen when a process tries to communicate with
another
that doesn't respond and an intercommunications mailbox fills up. It seems
to
me there was a way to empty the mailbox by sending the contents to NL: but
it's been a number of years since I've worked on VMS and I've forgotten how.
You may try SYSMAN. In most cases you have to reboot to clear a RWAST.
