Mike /usr/fox/bin/go_AIMHISTORIAN it has a sleep in it /opt/aim/bin has histstop and histstart, histstop is the correct way to stop it so histstart & may work Shaun NZ Steel -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of michael_bovenkamp@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, 18 February 2005 04:06 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] Starting an AIM Historian Instance through VT100 Hello List, I would like some advice regarding starting an AIM Historian Instance through a VT100 unix command instead of using the historian manager graphical user interface. I use helpful hint HH1001 "Restarting AIMHistorian" from TAC often to stop and restart my AIM*Historian processes without rebooting an AW51D box. I use a thin-client "go-global" when working remotely. Unfortunately, I'm unable to perform the last step "open histmanager and turn the instance on" without opening the histmanager graphical user interface. If I open the gui through either the vt100 /opt/aim/bin/histmgr command or the config menu selection, the gui pops up on the AW in front of the operator instead of the goglobal thin client screen that I'm using. Thank you for any help. AIM Historian 3.2 I/A 6.3 AW51D Regards, Michael Bovenkamp Control Systems Engineering Engineering Maintenance and Technology Dofasco Inc.
