I have a shell script called config_modio that contains: " cd /home/kwallace/emc2/homann/modio_config halrun -I h_modio_config.hal " I then created a launcher that calls the config_modio script. From the launcher, the pyVCP window comes up but the threads immediately stop and the keyboard locks up. I have to power off to reboot. If I invoke the script from a terminal, the pyVCP window works fine, but when I close the window, I am left with a halcmd: prompt, which I need to type exit to get back to the terminal prompt. I tried a bare bones LED pyVCP window with my launcher and it doesn't lock up the keyboard, but it flashes the LED window and immediately exits back to the desktop. I think the latency test launcher does what I need to do, but it is fairly involved and will take some time to figure out how it works and then pick out the juicy bits. I also need to go through my modio_config component to see where things get locked up. I think I need to make it more fault tolerant, especially when it is trying to set up the serial port, but doesn't succeed. It seems the -I option gets ignored from the launcher, so the window pops up, but disappears while the serial port is getting setup. When I run the script from a terminal, the -I option gets honored and all is well, except I get returned to the halcmd: prompt because I'm in interactive or -I mode. Or that's my story so far. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
