Who knows anything about it? I've created the pipes as instructed in Customization.lyx Ch4.
Running with the LyXServer under Linux Alpha ============================================ aleem@thorax:aleem$ lyx -dbg lyxserver & aleem@thorax:aleem$ Setting debug level to lyxserver Debugging `lyxserver' (External control interface) LyXComm: Opening connection LyXComm: Connection established aleem@thorax:aleem$ echo "LYXCMD:test:file-open:/home/aleem/file.lyx" > /home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in results in the file being opened. Hoorah. Running with the LyXServer under Tru64 unix =========================================== aleem@pneumon:aleem-> lyx130 -dbg lyxserver& LyXComm: Opening connection LyXComm: Connection established LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 LyXComm: Closing connection LyXComm: Opening connection LyXComm: Connection established LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 LyXComm: Closing connection LyXComm: Opening connection LyXComm: Connection established LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 LyXComm: Closing connection (a continual stream in fact) aleem@pneumon:aleem-> echo "LYXCMD:test:file-open:/usr/users/aleem/file.lyx" > /usr/users/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in results in the file being opened. Hoorah again. -------------------------------------------------------------- So, why's LyX going crazy and continually opening and closing the connection under Tru64 unix? Is this something I should worry about? -------------------------------------------------------------- Next question: I'm unable to activate the "Submit Command" button when running monitor (development/lyxserver/server_monitor.c) aleem@thorax:lyxserver$ ./monitor monitor: Opening pipes [/home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in] and [/home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.out] monitor: Opened 4 5 LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 Note that I get no message back to say hello. The weird thing is If I then enter at the command line: aleem@thorax:lyxserver$ echo "LYXSRV:test:hello" > /home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 LyXComm: status:18, lsbuf:, cmd:LYXSRV:monitor:helloLYXSRV:monitor:helloLYXSRV:test:hello LyXServer: Received: 'LYXSRV:monitor:helloLYXSRV:monitor:helloLYXSRV:test:hello'LyXServer: Client: 'monitor' Command: 'helloLYXSRV' Argument: '' LyXServer: Undefined server command helloLYXSRV. So I'm outputting stuff from monitor but it isn't getting flushed. Thereafter, if I do it again aleem@thorax:lyxserver$ echo "LYXSRV:test:hello" > /home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in aleem@thorax:lyxserver$ echo "LYXSRV:test:hello" > /home/aleem/.lyx-1.3.0cvs/lyxpipe.in LyXComm: Receiving from fd 4 LyXComm: status:18, lsbuf:, cmd:LYXSRV:test:hello LyXServer: Received: 'LYXSRV:test:hello' LyXServer: Client: 'test' Command: 'hello' Argument: '' LyXServer: Greeting test LyXComm: Sending 'LYXSRV:test:hello ' monitor: Coming: LYXSRV:test:hello monitor: LyX is listening! And hey presto, the "Submit Command" button is activated. Thereafter everything behaves as it should and I can oopen and close the buffer from this "monitor" program to my heart's content. Can anyone advise on either point? Angus
