There are several debugging facilities, so it's hard to tell which one(s) you mean :) Also, what version of EMC2, and what version of Ubuntu do you have? You should do testing with a halcmd prompt and maybe a short test.hal file (you can easily use halrun to start up the realtime system and take it down when you're done, just use "halrun -I " or "halrun -I yourtestfile.hal") You can use the program "script" to log what you do at the command line and the output from any programs you run. "script filename" will save a log of everything you do to "filename" until you type "exit". - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
