850.0. "PCM V1.6 for Digital unix ...." by SWTHOM::WUILQUE () Tue Jul 04 1995 12:28

hi,

I've just installed the new version PCM v1.6 for digital unix V3.2 
(idem with digital unix V3.0) +patch lattioc.o .
After the first reboot, the pcm's daemons start correctly and works fine.
But if I run the S99consoled script for stop the daemons and I try to 
restart them , the daemon consoled don't start .
After research, I've found that the stop procedure don't clear the 
shared memory (ipcs -m).
If I make the command #ipcrm -m 'id' for clear, it's ok for restart 
consoled daemon.
BUG or not BUG .....

Any ideas or corrections are welcome

850.1	A bit of a bug.	ZEDAR::simon	Simon Jackson 830 x3879	`Tue Jul 04 1995 13:41`	14
	Hi, Bug or Not. Well it's a bit of both. Yes we have noticed that due to a slight mistake the controllers do not unmap from shared memory. It is being fixed. The S99consoled script is really only for the System startup to use. If you want to start and stop the software from the command line use # console_startup (startup) # console -s (shutdown) Cheers Simon...

	I've also found that if you do console -d twice it will allow you to restart things normally. Regs, Dan
850.3	where is the fix	MUNDIS::MBACHMANN	MAIK BACHMANN @MFR	`Thu Jul 06 1995 10:32`	11
	Hi Simon, I found the same problem and I think it's a legal way to use S99con.. from a script or command line as well. Where is the fix or can I fix this myself by editing S99con.. until a new release is available. Thanks for the help - Maik
850.4	If it is documented use it - Please!!!	ZEDAR::simon	Simon Jackson 830 x3879	`Thu Jul 06 1995 11:30`	10
	Maik, the fix is in the binary for the daemon, we missed the out the shared memory unmap call in the exit handler - Oops. If you really must use the S99consoled fine, I guess it should work, but we gave a nice documented console_startup script for you to run. Is there any reason why you do not want to use the supplied and documented routine?? Cheers Simon....
