There was a thread on this topic last year. [And he seizes the chance
to plug the list archive. Drum roll, please]

Go to the Foxboro list archive at:


http://www.mail-archive.com/foxboro%40lists.thecassandraproject.org/

and search for sendmail or something along that line, should be
enough to get you started.

Come to think of it, this question has come up often enough, do we
have any volunteer to write up a FAQ on how to do this on the Solaris
boxes? Please?


>3can I send mail using telnet from a remote pc

Once you set up all the needed network communications, sending mail
is as simple as running (this is from memory here, I may be a bit
shaky on the -t option):

mail -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] < inputfile

this is handy for sending, say, a scheduled report to your e-mail.
Schedule cron to output the report into a text file, then redirect
that file to 'mail' to send it to any address you want.

Alas, I won't be there again this year to partake in the activities
with all of you. There's no conflict with another epic bike trip this
year, but our travel budget is next to non-existent, and if I ask to
go to Vegas, why, they'll probably laugh me right out of town! Or
might suggest that I ride my bike there.

So y'all will have to carry on without me again. Maybe this "figment

You don't need to kill and restart cron. The cron jobs are actually
managed with crontab. Run 'man crontab' for more information.

Myself, I like to put all my cron jobs into a text file, say,
mycronjobs, then I submit them to cron thusly:

crontab < mycronjobs

special occasion. Thanks, Warren.

Please contact Warren ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the next couple of

Diane,

As far as I know, the archive is dead. Even the addresses that were
subscribed to the list to feed the archive were dead as of a couple
of months ago.

What's your assessment on the archive, Harry? Is there any chance it
gets resurrected?

Do you use this AW as an operating console? That is, do you call up
the Alarm Manager display on it? If so, sooner or later you'll
encounter the dreaded keyboard lock-up problem.

There are several CARs/QFs regarding lock-ups. Search the CSC web
site for the cure. One of the fixes is to change the behavior of the
windows to switch focus following the mouse pointer.

(I'm too lazy to search the CSC web site right now, so it's left as
an exercise for the readers.)

No, unfortunately not at this time. Harry Forbes has been archiving

Well, what a perfect segue into a FAQ page, Chuck. As the list may
have heard off and on, Diane Harris is working on a first pass of a
Cassandra FAQ page, but it will have to be a collective effort to
make it truly useful. We hope to have the fruit of her labor up on

myself additions and/or corrections to it. We welcome all

Hi Ron,

When you're ready, please send the script to me (off-list) so I can
put it up at the Cassandra site so people can download it at their

We do something similar. We feed all the process alarms (and system
alarms, too, for that matter) to a VAX. Our friendly VAX guru sets up
automatic capturing and parsing of the alarms into process area
specific files (text files, one file per day) and put them on a web
server. The process people can grab them at their leisure and do
whatever with them. These files are kept on the web server for 3 months
and then archived to CD-ROM for who knows how long.

Thanks, Daren, and everyone else who offered a hint/tip about this
problem. It turned out to be Win98-related rather than an XVision or
dmcfg set up problem.

Here's the problem description in case you are curious:

Picking any of the data entry areas in the Select screen or in the
Control Configurator to enter data will not show any outward difference
in the Select screen, and only the foreground color changes in the CIO
Configurator. There's no indication of the cursor position in these
fields, which can be disconcerting if you wish to insert text into a
certain position.

I guess we'll live with this for now.

XVision on Win98

[Duc M Do]

Got a weird one

Currently we use SCO XVision to show remote display managers on our PCs
for engineering work. (XVision is equivalent to Hummingbird eXceed.
Corporate IT dictates that we use XVision instead of eXceed.) The
particulars are: XVision version 7.0 32-bit server running on Win95,
IBM Pentium 133 MHZ PC with 16 or 32 MB RAM.

In preparation for new desktop PCs being deployed this summer, I'm
testing the same XVision software running on the new machines, which
also are IBM machines, but at 600 MHZ and 128 MB RAM running Win 98
Second Edition. We will still be using DM. No Foxview.

Here's the weird one: I cannot pick any of the data entry areas on the
Select screen. With two DMs coming from the same Sun box, the one on
the Win95 machine works fine, the one on the new Win98 machine works
almost as flawlessly, except for this glitch. What's going on?

Anybody?

You're on the right track, Stan.

Near the beginning of the save_all.sh script, there are these lines:

if [ "$PLATFORM" = "Windows_NT" ] # Define executable Name
then
   SA_EXEC="save_all.ksh"
else
   SA_EXEC="save_all.sh" 
fi

not knowing anything about the NT platform, I'll leave it alone, but
for the "else" case, change it to say:

else
#  SA_EXEC="save_all.sh" 
   SA_EXEC="save_all" 
fi

That ought to do it from my quick browsing of the script. BTW, Ron Deen
is on this list, hopefully he'll set me straight if I erred.

Regards,

Duc

Well! I must've been sleeping at the wheel to have missed this QF.
Thanks, John, for the info. I'll grab this fix first thing in the
morning.

Hi Keith (and Kevin),

Which version of software are you using? I'm on v4.3 (Solaris) and it's
been my understanding that d_edit cannot modify the historian name. And
sure enough, I cannot replicate what you recommended. I keep getting
the "++ Wrong command line option" error no matter what I tried.

We encountered this same problem (changing historian) a couple of years
ago and had to use vedit to fix it. That's why I recommend it.

(Note also that this vedit is not the same as the variation of vi of
the same name on the SOlaris platform.)

New script file: save_all.sh

[Duc M. Do]

Bram Marsman, Marco de Waal, and Ron Deen of Foxboro in the Netherlands
contributed a script file to perform the SaveAll for all stations in
the system, or all stations that match a certain regular expression on
the command line. Thanks, gentlemen.

The script file is at:

http://thecassandraproject.org/archive/save_all.sh

and the documentation is here:

http://thecassandraproject.org/archive/save_all.html

Enjoy!

Duc

Well, truth be known, it's not your reading the list that got me
behind. It's trying to digest everything you *wrote* in the last 24
hours that got my brain on overdrive. Boy, I see some great FAQ in
the making here!

So, Alex, is there *any* plan to publish this book of yours? Too bad,
indeed.

Hi Darryl,

I know just a home for programs and utilities like yours: The
Cassandra Project (http://thecassandraproject.org/). Please tidy them
up to your liking, add a description as to what the programs do and
send to me as an attachment. I'll add them to the Cassandra web site
asap.

Using network printers

[Duc M. Do]

Hi everyone,

Here's an easy one for you printer experts out there:

I want to use the network printers (the printers hanging off of our
business LAN) via the second Ethernet port of the Sun workstations.
These are mainly HP 5Si and HP 4000 laser printers. After much trials
and errors and more than a little cussing, I can control the font
size and the pagination of the output, but there remains one thing
that I can't control: The output to the 5Si always prints in duplex
(two-sided printing).

Does anybody have experience with printer control who can give me a
hint on how to control this feature? I've looked at the terminfo data
for the laser printer but can't seem to get much headway there. (I
did have to recompile a new printer interface using 'tic' in order to
use smaller fonts and change the pitch.)

Searching the Foxboro CSC web site does not yield anything beyond the
basics of using a printer connected directly to the Sun box.

Appreciate any lead you can provide.
