I already explained that how you run gpsapp is irrelevant. It still is. It's conceivable new Hijack matters. Send your config.ini anyway.

Well, obviously it doesn't matter now, but I did explain that you needed to not run gpsapp from the kernel and run it either in a shell after telnetting in, or in a shell after connecting to the serial port.

Okay, sent.

sorry about that.

I'll try doing that now, see if it fixes the bug.

Well, it shouldn't. The point was before Mark did what he did in v307 it would have gotten you the output.

If it fixes the bug I will be sad.

If it fixes the bug I will be sad.

It didn't.

Reason I tried is what Mark said about simultaneous reads of config.ini...

The README doesn't suggest use of any macros.

For kicks, can you run it by hand once, redirecting the output to a file, and send me that?
something like:

ps auxww|grep gpsapp|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill
rw
/drive0/var/gpsapp/gpsapp>/usr/tmp/mumble
ro

Arg, I can't right this instant. I'm in the middle of doing three things at once, and my serial port just started mucking up and I'd have to reboot the PC to get it to work again (it does this sometimes).

I will do it as soon as I can.

You don't have the ability to run telnetd from hijack???

Is that built into hijack?

No, no telnetd (or remote SITE EXEC yet) in Hijack.

But v308 is out, and clears up any config.ini conflicts.

Note that at present, config.ini Hijack macros (;@HOME et al) work only for the player app, not for add-ons. I may "fix" this shortly, but for now that's how it works.

EDIT:
No, never mind.. I won't be fixing this. Add-on apps will have to do their own macro equivalents if they need them (dubious).

Yeah, actually, I agree with your edited sentiment.

Never mind. .. v308 is fscked.

v309 shortly (ugh!)

Yeah, I was gonna say... heh...

I should figure out why the network to my empeg died, so I can be experiencing this fun in real time

No, you install the telnetd binary which I'm sure has been posted here and run it from config.ini. I have your config.ini which proves you know how to run programs and it's just a program...

That was the problem with 308...

I hadn't put 308 on it. The problem was last night I appear to have whacked a network cable while fixing one of the registers on a furance duct.

Youch! Sorry about that. Good luck getting it fixed. (Been there, done that.)

All I did was knock it out of the hub, it's already fixed. The wiring isn't in the ducts. When I bought the house we did it right. The knob and tube electric is gone and the walls got romex, cat 5 and coax in copious quantity.

Ah, that's cool. For my house, the wiring is ad-hoc, whereever I can stuff a cat-5 cable from under the house, and I've cut cables on heating ducts before (sharp edges of aluminum plates etc).

v309 shortly (ugh!)

Hmmmm. Been a while. Uncharacteristically.

I can picture the scene...

Mark's coding away, voice of Significant Other in the background: "MARK!!!! You still haven't taken out the garbage like you said you would!!!!"

"But I'm fixing Hijack!!!"

"NOW, MARK!!!!"

<Mark runs out and does the garbage>

"And what about the dishes?! You said you'd do those yesterday!!"

"But..."

"NOW!"

(Etc...)

And note that I only say that because I'm procrastinating on doing the weekly garbage run myself right now.

(We live so far out in cow-country that we don't even have garbage service and have to actually run it to the dump ourselves.)

No, wait, I've got a better one.

"Mister Mark Lord?"

"Yes, that's me."

"The government of Canada needs you for a top-secret project of utmost importance. The very planet itself is at stake. You're the only person with the skills necessary to do the job."

"Wow, that was quick. Thanks!"

Funny guys..

Okay, got it finally. My notebook is rebuilding it all now for you folks.

Should be about 5mins or so now.

Actually, it was MUCH BETTER than taking out the garbage, though some people do call it "doing the dishes" or something similar when discussing in front of children..

"MARK!!!! You still haven't rocked my world like you said you would!!!!"

Or even better:

"Wow, that was quick. Thanks!"

Well, it was good for me, so I hope it's good for you, too!
