Sounds like you have the '-f' flag set, in which case it is
trying to (literally) chmod the file '/bnr/users/u1/trice/tmp/*' which
(probably)
does not exist.

Try doing a 'set +f' before the chmod statement, this turns on wildcarding.

Check that you can do a "pwd" from where you are without any problems.
There may be a directory on your path which is not *readable* by you.

   I would like to make a logging utlility for unix.  It would be
similar to Procomm Plus logging facilities.  My idea is that the program
will record _all_ the text set to a terminal, and still have the text
appearing at the terminal.  This program will need to run in the
background, and not be dependant on executing a shell of its own.
I am fluent in C, so that will not be a problem.  I just need some 
advice, or better yet code.
Thanx.

Subject: RS232 & networking and process logging?
Date: 4 Jan 93 22:15:29 GMT

Hi

I am new to this group and I have some problems which might have already been
solved by somebody in this group.

I am currently having a SLC SPARCstation connected to a CD-ROM jukebox via 
an RS232 (ttyb) and a SCSI ports. The jukebox has four CD-ROM drives and 
four CDs can be loaded and accessed at the same time.  All the control
commands (e.g. selecting a CD, rotating the carousel) are sent from the Sun
workstation to the jukebox via the RS232 port.  The communication speed is
9600 bauds.  The actual mounting and the ejection of the CDs are done via
the SCSI interface.  The jukebox and the workstation are also in a class B
network.  I have already done some software design and development for the
controlling program using C.  My questions are:

1. In order for a host in the network to use the jukebox, a user has to use 
   rlogin or telnet to log on to the SLC SPARCstation before s/he can run the 
   controlling program.  Is there a way that I can incorporate this in my C 
   program so that the jukebox is visible from any host in the network?  Is 
   this a client-server based and/or networking problem?  What is the best 
   way for me to tackle this?

2. Assuming question no. 1 can be achieved, how do I deal with locking 
   facility for multi-user access?

3. If the jukebox is available on the network, I would like to keep a log 
   file to record which user is using what and possibly show this to all
   current users on the network.  In others words, when the controlling 
   program is started by a user, it has to know which user is currently 
   using what disc and for how long.  How should I approach this?

I should be much obliged if you could suggest some solutions or point me 
in the right direction.  Please e-mail me at eddie@mda.ca

Thanks in advance.

Hi all !

As the subject says, I need Alchemy 1.5, but for SUN/Sparc-stations,
means Unix.
I have some of these jpeg files, that djpeg can't handle and Alchemy 1.4
doesn't know that sort of files.
If you look into these files, you see that they are made by Alchemy 1.5.

So if someone knows where I can find it (or is it no PD anymore ??)
or if someone has it, I would appreciate if you mail me or post here.

BTW: Any requests to some archie-hosts didn't help either, they only
have links to version 1.4.

It sounds like the tabs are being miss managed because of poor terminal
emulation or some other display problem.  Try putting:

stty -tabs

in your .cshrc (or .login).  This should replace the tabs with the equiv.
spaces.  If this is not the fix, follow up and we will give it a second shot.

Dear Netters:

Recently, I bought a X window system from MIT. It is X11R5. I want to compile
the system on my host, which is a VME147 plus the UNIX SYSV/68 Release 3 Version
6 as the O/S. As you may know, I encounter so many problems such as the lack of 
Unix Domain Socket on my O/S. 

Does anybody know what should I do to compile the X window system on my host? I
know there are new version for my O/S, which is version 7 provided by Motorola.
Do you know whether the new version O/S has features the X windows needs?

Thanks in advance

The current release of System V/68 for your system is R3v7.1.  In
addition, there is a matching Network Support Utilities, which
provides NFS, RFS, and TCP/IP, etc.  Also, we have "DeltaWINDOWS X
Window System and OSF/Motif, Release 1.2.1" for R3v7.1, R3v7.0, or
R3v6.2.  This is according to the October 24 price book.  There *may*
be a later release.  I've been using SVR4 for several months, and
haven't been really tracking the R3 DeltaWINDOWS releases.  That
should get you on your way.  I *believe* that that X release is X11R4.
If you *really* need X11R5, then you might talk with your sales
representative about the possibility of purchasing the source code for
our DeltaWINDOWS release to help in your porting effort.

People have frequently asked what the minimum system for running Amiga
UNIX is. Well yesterday I brought up a working Amiga UNIX 2.1 system
in a 24Mb s5 partition. Admittedly I had some swap space and the
obligatory 2Mb boot partition too, but the system itself was only
taking up about 14Mb of the 24Mb!

Ok, so this was a pretty stripped-down system with just the
"essentials" package and "ucb compatibility" packages installed, but
it was a quite usable UNIX system with most of the expected utilities.

A stock standard Amiga 3000 with a Quantum 52 hard drive should quite
happily house a bare-bones UNIX system at that rate!

Hi !

I finaly managed to buy a cheap DEC RZ-56 disk with ~650 MB. When I tried to
install 2.03 the other day I got a complete hang of the system during the
first Installation steps. When the install-script tries to check the
available disks, the system hangs.

To be exact, this happens when '/etc/atdevice' is called to return the
SCSI-unitnumbers of all available disks.

Has anybody managed to get one of those disks to work ? (Keith ?)

Somebody mentioned to me, that the Amix-SCSI driver is confused, when a disk
requests sync-transfers. Is this true ?

Does anybody know how to make the disk stop doing this ? I have no docs on
the jumpers. :-(

Any hopes, that 2.1 fixes my problem ?

Thanks,
   michael

My advice is to make SURE that it works on the system that you are buying

	It's 1.5.  You can buy the server and the necessary development
stuff, but they're separate packages.  The X server comes with some
number of clients (including window managers) and the development
package comes with stuff necessary to make porting X clients pretty
easy (including a sockets thing).  I've heard that porting most X
clients is pretty easy.  You need at least (I assume) the SAS C 5.10
compiler.  Ethernet is available from Commodore, and you can buy it
through Gfxbase for some discount.  See the FAQ for Gfxbase's address.
The address appeared on an Amiga group not two days ago.

	Oh yeah, the X server is really nice and fast if you use it
in mono.  It multitasks, is system-friendly, and all that good
stuff.

I have a little utility that fixes this behaviour. It worked for me
with a RZ23L. It is runnable from AmigaDOS. Nothing pretty, and I
had to ASCII hack the name of the device driver, but it works. You
only need to use it once in a life-time.

If anyone wants this little utility then mail me and I will send
you an uuencoded version.

BTW: The information is not stored on the disk, but in an EEPROM.

   However, to add another data point to the thread, let me point out
   that X is indeed free (depending on your definition of _free_), but
   there is not a port of it to the Amiga to my knowledge. What I would

I'm wondering, too, but i'm pessimistic about that.
The Unix C= once selled disappeared from the price lists and was
not shown on recent expos, and due to some MMU changes it
won't run on any 040 :-(
Maybe next year, when the Eggenbrecht-Chips supply a good
MultimediaWokstation ....

Subject: FSP HELP!!!   [Where do I get a client?]
Organization: University of North Texas, Denton

    Does anyone know where I can get an fsp client?  Either a version that
will compile on DYNIX(R) V3.1.4 - or a version that will run over Dnet.
I need some kind of fsp access tho - so please help me if you can.

Thanks a million, in advance.
Ciao...
