Until someone installs the next QF at least. Supposedly, FS knows to save rc.foxapps and user_apps.dat, but they won't look for changes to the standard scripts.

Do put the sleep <sometime> in the script /usr/fox/bin/go_FOXAPI rather than fox_apps.dat It works so much better there.

If you have additional startups in /etc/fox/user_apps.dat or /etc/fox/rc.foxapps nothing good will come of it. However, it is reasonable to place a /bin/sleep <sometime> in /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat to ensure that FoxAPI has a chance to startup completely before any applications that use it.

It will print out all the FoxAPI-related applications that are currently running. You should have at least the following: /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi om_poll /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi wrtimr /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi wrproc /opt/fox/ais/bin/histlnbc You may also have an_server.tcp running a few times, depending on if you have any special applications running. If you don't have these entries, FoxAPI is not really running. You should also check /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat or /etc/fox/user_apps.dat to make sure FoxAPI starts on reboot. There should be an entry in one of those files that refers somewhere to aisstart, such as go_ADDE6.
