Hi. I've been running Sharity on my SGI O2 for a couple of years. I'm running IRIX 6.5.4 Here are some notes that I've created while working with it. Hope it helps you. And as a fellow artist, I know where you're coming from. Here's what I've done to get my systems working..........
You should read the README on your SGI at /etc/init.d/README ...This is from Sharity docs, (I think) There are two things you have to do by hand. The first is the automatic start of the sharityd daemon during system boot. How this is done depends on the Unix flavor you have. Most systems have a startup directory containing startup scripts for each service. In this case just make a symbolic link from that directory pointing to /usr/local/sharity/sbin/sharity.init. The goal is to have the Sharity daemon start when the system starts, at init state 2. And to have Sharity shutdown cleanly at system shutdown, at init state 0. The file /usr/local/sharity/sbin/Sharity.init will do the work. This file must have symbolic links from it, to the startup directory /etc/rc2.d, and shutdown directory /etc/rc0.d . The symbolic link name for startup can be named S[nn]sharity Where S is that it is to get the start command, [nn] is the sequential number it will execute during init. (Brian's comments) Since samba is currently using S81 and K39, lets let Sharity precede samba with symbolic links of /etc/rc2.d/S82sharity to start it, just after samba /etc/rc0.d/K38sharity to kill it just before samba (Here's the shell commands I did to create the links) # Create startup symbolic link ln -s /usr/local/sharity/sbin/sharity.init /etc/rc2.d/S82sharity; #List the new file to make sure it's there. ls -lart /etc/rc2.d; #Make the other link ln -s /usr/local/sharity/sbin/sharity.init /etc/rc0.d/K38sharity; #List this directory to check for the new file. ls -lart /etc/rc0.d; In the GUI, I set up shares I want to mount on the SGI, and store them. Sometimes when things aren't running right, I may have to reboot a PC, or reset Sharity, or reset Samba. When I have to do that, I use scripts which do commands like this.... ----------------------------------- To restart Samba, I use /etc/init.d/samba stop; echo Starting Samba; /etc/init.d/samba start; ----------------------------------- To reset Sharity, I use /usr/local/sharity/sbin/sharity.init stop; # I'm not sure if you will need this, but I had problems shutting down Sharity in older versions, # and I had to use these umount commands to get Sharity to shutdown. umount -t nfs; umount -t nfs; /usr/local/sharity/sbin/sharity.init start; --------------------------------------- If you just need to mount two PCs on your network, I found it easy to create directories for the mount points, and store them. So, I don't normally need to use the /CIFS browsing. Only when I need to get to a share that I haven't already stored. Which may help you as you don't want to see tons of computers on the network on the IRIX gui. (Speaking of this, if you run into the problem where the SGI desktop get's painfully slow to log in, let me know, I have a fix for that one.) So, for instance on my 1st PC, named PC1, I have a shared directory named BACKUP. And I share the CDROM as CDROM. I created directories on the SGI like.... /PC1/BACKUP/ /PC1/CDROM/ (Make sure your directories are read/writeable by your normal login account). I used the Sharity GUI to mount the corresponding shares from the PC to these directories. Then, when I need to refresh things, I make sure I'm logged in as my normal login (not root) and I do cifslogin //PC1/BACKUP; cifslogin //PC1/CDROM; cifslogin //PC2/mydirectory; cifslogin //PC2/CDROM; #Then, list everything so you know it's all right. cifslist; Hope this info helps you. Let me know if you have any questions.
