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.

        Ummmm...  but....

        Do put the sleep <sometime> in the script
        /usr/fox/bin/go_FOXAPI rather than fox_apps.dat

        It works so much better there.

        FoxAPI should be started from /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat. 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.

                Jef,

                Try going to /opt/fox/ais/bin and typing in the command P
(simply
        the
                capital letter P) at the Solaris prompt.  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.

                        Hi,

                        I would like to write a C program using FoxAPI calls
like
                an_add_objects,
                        an_poll_changes,...

                        However when I start my programs , it tells me
"FoxAPI is
        not
                        running-Please restart application after FoxAPI is
started
        !"

                        When I check with a ps command , FoxAPI is running !

                        We are using FoxAPI ver 4.2.0   (I/A series ver
6.2.1)
