BAIT: startnet script

NAME

startnet - starts the telescope server

SYNOPSIS

startnet

DESCRIPTION

startnet is a generic script that starts the apropriate server(s) on a given computer. Each computer has a different startnet tailored for the instruments connected to that computer. You must be logged in as the instrument or telescope user to run the process. In general it first kills off any running server processes then starts the server or servers putting their output into log files or the null device.

Here is an example:


#!/bin/csh
set SERVER=rcam
echo starting $SERVER
set msg=`ps -x | grep -w $SERVER | grep -v -w grep| awk '{print $1}'`
echo $msg
if ( $#msg ) then
        echo killing $msg
        kill $msg
endif
$SERVER >& startnet.log &

startnet is also used to fire up tserver. This operation is more complex.
