Re: [foxboro] AW70 and Cygwin

OK, thanks.  I'm surprised that those commands are used for "day-to-day
running", especially when I hear so many reports about how scripts that
work on AW51s do not on AW70s <g>.

VNC will go on there, as will OpenSSH (which uses the Cygwin libraries).
It still sounds like I could install both as long as all the Foxboro
programs see the Nutcracker stuff in the path first.  Since we have a bit
of time prior to implementation, I may try it.

Thanks,
Corey

Corey,

An AW70 uses the unix commands, located in d:\nutc\bin and d:\nutc\mksnt, a
lot for the day to day running
of the machine. So be careful when you install another package that install
a different version of the same
commands (ls/grep/sort/rm...). Some commands in the Cygwin toolset expect
different arguments compared to
the Nutcracker toolset. So this might cause serious problems for the
standard scripts on the AW70.

There are some very good native Windows tools to control the machine. Go to
http://www.sysinternals.com/ and get
the PSTools package. These tools are a must for doing any serious Windows
work. Actually almost all the tools
mentioned on that site are nice to have. Also VNC
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) is nice to remotely control
your desktop. And for making backups nothing beats Norton Ghost.

Marco.
