Good evening, Heinz-Uwe.
I'm taking this back to the lyx-users list. Others may find this
information useful.
As I said in that original thread, the ability of JabRef to
communicate with LyX depends on whether MacOSX handles FIFOs in a
manner compatible with the (rather fragile) code in LyX. This is not
at all certain.
To test, start lyx from the command line with:
$ lyx -dbg lyxserver
Setting debug level to lyxserver
Debugging `lyxserver' (External control interface)
LyXComm: Opening connection
LyXComm: Connection established
As you say, you should find a pair of FIFOs in the appropriate
location. For me that is:
$ ls -l .lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.{in,out}
prw--- 1 angus angus 0 Sep 26 21:51 .lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.in
prw--- 1 angus angus 0 Sep 26 21:51 .lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.out
Note the 'p' flag in the first column. These aren't files but rather a
window into the kernel itself.
LyX expects a certain syntax from external programs trying to
communicate with it. Initiate a connection by opening another console
window and type the equivalent of:
$ echo LYXSRV:angus:hello .lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.in
You should see in the console from which you are running LyX something
like:
LyXComm: status:19, read_buffer_:, cmd:LYXSRV:angus:hello
LyXServer: Received: 'LYXSRV:angus:hello'
LyXServer: Client: 'angus' Command: 'hello' Argument: ''
LyXServer: Greeting angus
LyXComm: Sending 'LYXSRV:angus:hello'
LyXComm: Closing connection
LyXComm: Opening connection
LyXComm: Connection established
So, we have a connection. Now try and post a command to LyX. Eg
$ echo LYXCMD:angus:file-open UserGuide.lyx
.lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.in
In the console from which you're running LyX you'll see something
like:
LyXComm: status:55, read_buffer_:, cmd:LYXCMD:angus:file-open
lyx/devel/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx
LyXServer: Received: 'LYXCMD:angus:file-open
lyx/devel/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx'
LyXServer: Client: 'angus' Command: 'file-open
lyx/devel/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx' Argument: ''
LyXComm: Sending 'INFO:angus:file-open
lyx/devel/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx:
'
LyXComm: Closing connection
LyXComm: Opening connection
LyXComm: Connection established
LyX will open the UserGuide.
Finally, close the connection:
$ echo LYXSRV:angus:bye .lyx-1.3.5cvs/server.in
In the console from which you're running LyX you'll see something
like:
LyXComm: status:17, read_buffer_:, cmd:LYXSRV:angus:bye
