-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Kevin,
Expect is a server side utility and you should be able to install it with out too much trouble. Are you using SMIT, the admin utility for AIX? It should be your friend if you are not comfortable performing admin functions on a AIX box. You should be able to type smit at a root or root privileged account. You should see a character menu in a character mode interface like a terminal emulator or serial terminal. In a X Windows enviromrnt then you should see a GUI interface that is mouse driven. In all my days in AIX, SMIT is a really great tool and there is a function key that will show you the series of commands that the SMIT will exccute so you can learn or modify wehat SMIT is doing under the covers. I believe that the link that I sent you was the link that had AIX installable binaries on it. If not then I will send you the link to Bull's AIX freeware site and they have AIX installables. http://www.bullfreeware.com/download/aix43/expect-5.31.5.0.exe BTW, Yes, AIX can mount and host NFS shares and can connect to and serve Linux shares. Have fun :) Todd Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Toppenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 5:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Linux console as terminal emulator, with s cripting? Todd and Bhaskar, Thanks for the links. "My system administrator" is me. Well, that's not exactly true. We have a service agreement with Medic/Mysis that is less than helpful. For example, I asked if AIX could mount an NFS from linux. "Well I just don't know. I've never even seen Linux. And that would be all with a GIU anyway, wouldn't it?" I'm kind of scared about trying to install software on the server because I won't know how to fix it if I screw anything up. And its our mission-critical hardware. But if I can't find another solution, I may come back to this. Thanks again. Kevin p.s. I am assuming that this software would be on the server, not on a remote client--right? kt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFBgkF+dWt+RfoNiuYRAnkrAJoDC+aDQksWAqI6JjHFgezwOqhA8QCfVA2H nRcviy/l//ywl4eTRY09Oyc= =JUl9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This Newsletter Sponsored by: Macrovision For reliable Linux application installations, use the industry's leading setup authoring tool, InstallShield X.
