481.1 | 'crippled' DECnet is good enough | CSC32::M_AMBER | No disassemble | Tue May 26 1987 13:51 | 12 |
| Although I've never actually tried this on a microVAX,
it seems to me that you should be able to use the TAILOR facility
to add the DECnet stuff off the distribution tape. Then, even if
you don't have the DECnet key, you can still start decnet and
talk to yourself. The key only stops you from having lines and
circuits.
In fact, I believe this is intended. This allows you to test and
develop network things with actually having a true network. Anyway,
once you do all these things, then you can do the SET HOST 0/LOG
thing.

481.2 | DTM will allow recording terminal session | VIDEO::OSMAN | type video::user$7:[osman]eric.six | Tue May 26 1987 14:46 | 12 |
| Well, if you use conference CLT::DTM to install DTM on your system, you
can get a recording of your terminal session with:
$ dtm
dtm> create test/record sex yes
You'll have to first define logical name DTM$LIB to point to a subdirectory
that you initialize as a DTM library, but I forget what commands you
need to do that. Perhaps another DTM user can tell us what the initialize
command is ?

481.5 | thanks | NZOV03::PARKINSON | Hrothgar | Thu May 28 1987 06:03 | 17 |
| RE .1 No, DECNET is not distrubuted at all to microvax systems
unless they buy it. I know it would work as you describe if it was
there.
RE .2 DTM? I don't know it. But this is a customer machine. I can't
just put net kits on there. Sounds interesting, though.
RE .3 Does not show output to terminal - only to log file. We need
both.
I dug out some old V4 update course notes and found the connect
disconnect commands, which are nothing to do with logging to a file,
my mistake there. Maybe it is not possible in this situation. Thanks
for the help, though.

Here's a completely unsupported idea. Back a couple of topics we
discussed a "watch" program which would simultaneously output text
(and optionally input text) to another process' terminal.
Without going into detail about the technology it uses to do what
it does, couldn't something along those lines be adapted to log
to a file instead of another terminal?
just another suggestion

481.7 | <HACK> | WKRP::LENNIG | Dave, SWS, @CYO Cincinnati | Thu May 28 1987 22:46 | 3 |
| Tie two terminal ports together with a null modem cable, then
$SET HOST/DTE/LOG ...

481.8 | SMOP | YALI::LASTOVICA | Stuck in a Lather-Rinse-Repeat loop | Fri May 29 1987 00:00 | 5 |
| Here's a good hack (used by a number of internal products):
Patch the UCB of the terminal being monitored to point the output
routine to one of your choice. Have the routine loaded into nonpaged
pool and redirect the output to a mailbox (or somewhere) and then
back to the original I/O routine in the driver...

481.9 | Try looking into SCRIPTP instead of SET HOST | DSSDEV::MUNYAN | Steve Munyan | Fri May 29 1987 09:57 | 14 |

Re: .7
If your going to tie two terminal ports together, I suggest you look
into the SCRIPTP tool in the toolshed. Before the days of DTM, the FMS
and EDT groups wrote this tool to perform their regression testing.
SCRIPTP allows the user to specify input script files, output logging
files, has the ability to record a new script file from the terminal,
etc...

481.10 | Logging tty session | ISTG::BHAVNANI | Ravi Bhavnani | Sun Jul 05 1987 02:41 | 14 |
| I believe the utility PHOTO would allow you to log your term
session to a file - both sys$error and sys$output. If I remember
correctly, all you do is something like
$ photo [{start | stop}] [log filename]
The exact syntax <ESC>s me, but it's soemthing like that. Oh yes,
PHOTO's sitting somewhere on the net. Probably in the Toolshed.
Sorry I'm being so vague, but I *have* used this utility and it's
a real asset. Reminds me of the "good old" Multics' lts,sts.
Hope this is of some help.
