Nice, but you forgot to say what to feed to it and how to generate it.

The implication is you would = only turn on the IGNLM1 if a limit switch was failing. So getpars = isn't too helpful to see what is going on in this instance. (Unless = we assume that any block with the IGNLM[1,2] set to true is a hit and = then we would have to still get the DEVLM[1,2] if that is what we are = trying to fix. You are fixing the bad limit switches right Ken?) This awk script only took a couple of minutes to write and it gives a = much better snapshot of what is configured. (But not what is = happening, it's like quantum physics.) I'm cutting this from a unix session so CR/LFs might be wonky. BEGIN{ printf ("Block Name, Type, DEVLM1, IGNLM1, DEVLM2, IGNLM2 \n") } { if ($1 =3D=3D "NAME") name =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "TYPE") type =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "DEVLM1") devlm1 =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "DEVLM2") devlm2 =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "IGNLM1") ignlm1 =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "IGNLM2") ignlm2 =3D $3 if ($1 =3D=3D "END" && type =3D=3D "GDEV") { printf ("%-24s, %s, %24s, %s, %24s, = %s\n",name,type,devlm1,ignlm1,devlm2,ignlm2) } } There, wasn't that easy?
