Setting the ADDE Client Timeout
By
default, ADDE commands timeout if they do not receive any data from the server
for a period of 120 seconds. You can change the timeout period with the environment
variable ADDETIMEOUT. To do so,
enter the following Unix command (substitute the equivalent if using C shell), where numseconds is
the number of seconds.
Type: export ADDETIMEOUT; ADDETIMEOUT= numseconds
If you want
to set the environment variable each time you log on to your account, add the
command above to your $HOME/.mcenv file
and add the following line to your $HOME/.profile file.
Be sure to leave a space between the period (.)
and $HOME.
