560.0. "srequest no longer runs on TIN" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Mon Feb 14 1994 08:09

Subj: 	srequest no longer runs on TIN

The srequest program, by constructing its own path using /bin/machine
and uname, defeats the attempts some of us are making to continue to
use ODE on MIPS OSF/1 systems.  The error message we see is:

ERROR: srequest server is down, try again later

At a minimum, the absence of a Send_Request executable needs to be
detected and given a better error message.  In addition, I'd appreciate
it if you'd let me pass in an environment variable ODEPATH that would
not be summarily overridden:

*** srequest    Fri Feb  4 15:05:59 1994
--- /tmp/srequest       Sat Feb 12 23:28:07 1994
***************
*** 1099,1103 ****
  export CUT FGREP AWK CAT ED GREP RM SED WHAT DEFAULT_EDITOR

! ODEPATH=/usr/sde/tools/`${BINMACHINE}`_`${UNAME}`/bin
  BDIFF=${ODEPATH}/bdiff
  BSTAT=${ODEPATH}/bstat
--- 1099,1103 ----
  export CUT FGREP AWK CAT ED GREP RM SED WHAT DEFAULT_EDITOR

! ODEPATH=${ODEPATH:-/usr/sde/tools/`${BINMACHINE}`_`${UNAME}`/bin}
  BDIFF=${ODEPATH}/bdiff
  BSTAT=${ODEPATH}/bstat

Thanks.  Do you need to have this turned into a PTT case?
