When aips is shut down and then restarted almost immediately, the inet
socket used for XAS will sometimes still show as in use.  It is supposed
to take less than 30 seconds for the system to clear that but I have
seen it take minutes.

TEKSRV still appears to be working - do you know what I mean by an icon
state?

Try two things:

In aips, run TKPL on a pre-existing plot file (or run CNTR on an image
with DOTV false) to make a plot file for TKPL.

Outside aips, do
    ps -elf | grep TEK
to see is TEKSRV is still running.  cd /tmp and do an ls -l | grep[ TEK
