Try this (just 3 lines; watch out for line breaks):

Sometime, I should probably update the vista script to allow dialog.
But Xdialog has more visual appeal.

RE: [Hardhats-members] Xdialog, dialog, m2web
From: Bhaskar, KS [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Xdialog, dialog, m2web
John --
Something is really screwed up with e-mail. I received your e-mail
after the responses in the thread it initiated! Comments below.
[jlz] that may be partly my doing. I initially used my local ISP but I'm not
a member at that address so it required approval... which came through some
hours after I had repeated myself from this webmail address. . . but something
seems to be dropping some of your mail lately. Maybe you have a full mailbox
or some sort of storage problem?
I'm aiming toward Boston and I'm attempting to fancy up Bhaskar's
install/run script. My ultimate goal is to include the installation
of m2web into the scripts:
[KSB] Actually, you can integrate M2web without touching the
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista script. Assuming that you have the
database installed in (for example)
/mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/g/mumps.dat, then just put the routines
for M2Web in /mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/r/. The object files will
automatically get compiled into /mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/o/.
[jlz] I'm thinking
1b.) ?? How do I add wa test for the absence of Xdialog itself??
[KSB] Try something like:
export DIALOG=${DIALOG:=`which Xdialog`} ; if [[ -z $DIALOG ]] ;
then export DIALOG=`which dialog` ; fi
and in your script use $DIALOG as the program to use. Now that I
think about it, a construct like the following might be even better:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] ; then export DIALOG=`which dialog` ; else ...
; fi
[jlz] OK, Thanks. That's what I needed. This works to test for both X and
Xdialog.
##
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] ; then dialog --infobox X not running 0 0 ;
$vista_source/dvista ; exit 1
fi
export XDIALOG=`which Xdialog`
if [[ -z $XDIALOG ]] ; then dialog --msgbox Xdialog not installed 0 0 ;
$vista_source/dvista ; exit 1
fi
##
[KSB] I don't know about the environment variables that M2Web uses,
but I would hazard a guess that if you are using M2Web, then the
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista script is superfluous.
[jlz] OK, That clarifies my thinking... I hope. I was fearful of a conflict
between VistA running under a local user logged into FileMan and M2Web hitting
the same database from outside. But the environental variables that each
chooses to employ have no crosstalk with each other. They just need to work
within their respective environs as they hit the common VistA database.
Understanding... now for something that Works. One small step for mankind,
one giant leap etc.
regards,
jlz better grandfather than programmer.
[KSB] Yes, but better physician than programmer, I'm sure!
[jlz] Of late I have been impressed with the need to get our programs right.
I think the VistA community appreciates that software development can also be
a matter of life-and-death importance.

Re: [Hardhats-members] Xdialog, dialog, m2web
Greg; Jim does have a namespace, but most of his routines are not using the namespace. This plus, Jim has re-written a number of the DI utilities so that theywork with his code. There is little conflict at this point because most of Jim's routines and globalsuse lower-case, but most of the m2web globals are not fileman compatible, and someparallel the OPTION and PROTOCOL files, but are different. He has been developing in his own isolatedenvironment and hasn't had to deal with the VA standards. His namespace is a lower case, m2w. His routines include ht* and some others.

And Bhaskar uses $vista_home for the location of the directory in which Vista will run. Not sure I can help you here. I think that the $vista_home variable will only be referenced from the install script. I don't think that GT.M needs it, and VistA don't need it. So you could search-and-replace it in Bhaskar's install script. On the other hand,

It is purposely written outside the VA coding conventions to ensure that there will be no conflict. The M2Web routines and variables are named in lowercase or mixed case.

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Xdialog, dialog, m2web
I'm aiming toward Boston and I'm attempting to fancy up Bhaskar's
install/run script. My ultimate goal is to include the installation of
m2web into the scripts:
[KSB] Actually, you can integrate M2web without touching the /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista script. Assuming that you have the database installed in (for example) /mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/g/mumps.dat, then just put the routines for M2Web in /mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/r/. The object files will automatically get compiled into /mnt/hda4/myVistA/OpenVistA/o/.
1.) I've added a test to ...OpenVistA/vista to switch from Xdialog to
plain old dialog in the absence of Xwindows, like so:
###
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] ; then dialog --infobox X not running 0 0 ;
$vista_source/dvista ; exit 1
fi
###
1b.) ?? How do I add a test for the absence of Xdialog itself??
[KSB] Try something like:
export DIALOG=${DIALOG:=`which Xdialog`} ; if [[ -z $DIALOG ]] ; then export DIALOG=`which dialog` ; fi
and in your script use $DIALOG as the program to use. Now that I think about it, a construct like the following might be even better:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] ; then export DIALOG=`which dialog` ; else ... ; fi
2.) Now I have a new script ...OpenVistA/dvista that uses dialog
instead of Xdialog. I will post that here if anyone needs it before Boston.
3.) I've added a menu option to do a rundown to both scripts:
case $action in
Run) ...snip
Erase) ...snip
Install (and run)) ...snip
;;
Rundown) clear
`$gtm_dist/mupip rundown -r *`
Xdialog --infobox rundown finished 0 0 6000 ; exit 1
;;
esac
3.) The addition of m2web's installation is giving me trouble, partly
because Jim Self uses environmental variables differently.
From m2web-vista-cgi:
#!/bin/bash
#invoke GT.M for M2Web CGI
export m2web=/usr/local/m2web
export vista_home=/usr/local/vista/OpenVistA
export gtm_sysid=vista.net
export gtm_dist=/usr/local/gtm
export gtm_log=$gtm_dist/log
export gtmgbldir=$vista_home/g/mumps.gld
export gtmroutines=$vista_home/o($m2web/w $vista_home/r) $gtm_dist
Bhaskar's script uses $vista_source where Jim's has $vista_home.
And Bhaskar uses $vista_home for the location of the directory in which
Vista will run.
Guidance from Bhaskar and Jim would be appreciated.
[KSB] I don't know about the environment variables that M2Web uses, but I would hazard a guess that if you are using M2Web, then the /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista script is superfluous.

[KSB] Yes, but better physician than programmer, I'm sure!
