Question:

Script conatining /usr/OV/bin/xecho command hangs on that command.

Response:

You have a script file that does something like the following:

  echo Start of Script
  /usr/OV/bin/xecho Message form the Operator -display hades:0
  echo End of Script
  exit

The problem is that the script is halted until somebody clicks the
"OK" button on the information window that is popped up.  After the
"OK" is clicked the script works fine, but you would like the script
to continue on without waiting on input from the user.  I suggested
that you background the command as follows:

  echo Start of Script
  /usr/OV/bin/xecho Message form the Operator -display hades:0 &
  echo End of Script
  exit
