Subj: 	problems running mksb...

Hi,

This used to work for me.  Now I can't seem to make a sandbox.  I get the 
message:

getwd: getwd: can't open ..
Error parsing rc description file ../link/rc_files/shared.sharedsandbox
Error parsing rc description file ./shared

Attached is the output from:

mksb -debug -back goldos.nightly -dir /home/build/darrell/sb nightly

You should try giving it the name of the sandbox you'd like to create, 
ie. mksb -back goldos.nightly -dir /home/build/darrell/sb nightly testbox

Whhoops, too fast on the send button - just noticed your SB name on the
cmd line. Let me look at this again. I thought this was the problem
because of this:

ERROR: Did not find sb name, (null), in rc file

did you muck with your .sandboxrc file recently. Is your default sandbox 
missing?  Or the tree it's backed by?

In the example you give, wouldn't "nightly" be the sandbox name, and "testbox' 
be an extra argument?


I did try what you suggest, and get the following:

ffox1.zk3.dec.com> mksb -back goldos.nightly -dir /home/build/darrell/sb nightly 
testbox
>> FATAL ERROR in mksb:
   Only 1 argument allowed.

Thanks,

Oh, I see - you didn't say you were trying this on that flaky stuff :-)


This looks familiar though and I think we say it at some point during
Sterling, but I cna't recall at all what it was. Anybody else remember?
