Glenn, Do you have the following in one of the hal files for the configuration you are running: loadusr emcrsh
If you do not include that, then you will get the indicated error since the application to respond to your telnet session is not running. I don't recall whether the latest thing I have run is v2.2.2 or v2.2.3, but I just downloaded the latest version a couple of weeks back, and it was working then. I will try it tonight and make sure it is working. I also know that Chris is about to release a new version, but I have not seen that it has actually been released yet. I need to add some online documentation for that utility, it is still mainly within the c source files. Regards, Eric Awhile back, EMC2 v2.1.1, I was successful in commanding EMC2 from a terminal window using commands such as 'telnet localhost 5007' and 'axis-remote'. 'Telnet' opens a variety of commands to EMC2 (through emcrsh) and 'axis-remote' allows shutdown (and a just few others). Now, with v2.2.3, telnet is not working. Here is what I get (I first start 'emc' in another terminal): ~$ telnet localhost 5007 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused ~$ I have searched wiki and linuxcnc for 'telnet' and 'emcrsh', but to no avail. Also, I thought, AXIS communicates with EMC2 via telnet? Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
