594.0. "syntax error on console_launch_Net" by CSC32::PITT () Wed Feb 01 1995 22:31

    
    
    I installed PCM 1.5 and the latest mup and told it that I wanted it
    to start up under netview. 
    I went thru the steps in the install guide.
    
    When I start up netview (/usr/OV/bin/pnv) I get the following:
    
    # /usr/OV/bin/pnv
    LANG set to en_US.ISO8859-1 because it was unset or set to C

    portmap is already running
    Starting POLYCENTER Manager on NetView daemons :
    Daemon startup completed
    Starting user interface applications...

    Since I haven't done ANYTHING with PCM, I'm not sure where the error
    is coming from. 
    The /usr/OV/registration/C/console_Launch_Net looks like this:
    
    # more /usr/OV/registration/C/console_Launch_Net
    #!/usr/bin/sh
    #
    # This is a simple procedure which will launch a CM connect session to
    a
    # system from PNV. It uses the SelectionName paramatewr from PNV and
    # checks to see if a system with the same name exists in the CM
    # database. If it does then it will attempt to launch a connect to the
    # specified system.
    #
    
    /usr/bin/console -E export /tmp/CMFILE$$ > /dev/null
    
    
    i=`cat /tmp/CMFILE$$ | awk '
    BEGIN { state = 0 }
                       {
                       if ( $1 == "ADD_SYSTEM:" ) {
                                       state = 1
                                       next
                                       }
                       if ( state == 1 && $1 == "NAME:" ) {
                                       state = 0
                                       print $2
     
    -----I won't include it all since the 'error' is supposed to be on the
    first line anyways----
    
    
    

    
    
    I'm finding alot of other things that are confusing as well.
    
    The man pages don't seem to agree with what I have on my system (v3.0
    OSF).
    
    For instance, man on console tells you that to start up pcm, you
    can do a /usr/sbin/console_startup. There is NO console anything in my
    /usr/sbin.  I can do a console -s which asks my if I really want to
    shut down console manager, but when I say y, it doesn't kill the
    /usr/bin/console_ensd processes.  If I do a console -V (which according
    to man pages should give me the current version, I get an error:
    invalid usage. 
    
    When I do start up console mgr by typing in console -c3, I get some
    windows, but I always get an error saying that console manager is not
    started up. 
    
    If I run the IVP, all is well, nothing fails and I can also run the 
    graphics test successfully. 
    
    I'm printing out the docs now, since I've been working off of the 1.0
    Doc (which I have found to be useless with 1.5) and off the man pages
    (which don't seem to be accurate...)...
    
    Hopefully, the docs will answer all of my questions. 
    -OR- maybe I'm missing some step here that someone can help me with?
    
    thanks (again).
