162.0. "Problems Starting T1.1.8 from VMS" by MAIL::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Wed Feb 17 1993 14:06

I've just recently loaded up HUBwatch VMS FT VT.1.1.8 and cannot get it 
to run on my VS4000/90 running VMS 5.5-2.

After loading, the IVP appears to run o.k. for the agent that I want to 
manage. The hub comes up and I can configure, get information, etc. Next I
entered the DECagent 90 in the HUBWATCH_AGENTS.TXT table and tried to envoke 
HUBwatch via standard command line interface.  In essence, I get an error 
message back that says that the agent is not in the table.  The startup 
command and respctive error message is shown below:

$ mcr hubwatch -x 16.77.64.182 -c public -a agent007 -r 8 -t 2 -l
%CLI-F-SYNTAX, error parsing 'agent_name'
-CLI-E-ENTNF, specified entity not found in command tables

The ...agents table has the following entry:

# Enter your agents below, one per line:
16.77.64.182 agent007   public   5  2 DENMA # Demo Center DEChub

Can someone please shed some some light as to what may be happening?

I'm trying to get ready for a demo on Monday and need to get HUBwatch working 
in conjunction with  POLYcenter NM 400.  I suspect that the problem with
launching the HUBwatch appl from the POLYcenter Application menu is related
to the above mentioned problem.

Thanks.

162.1WATCH/AGENT is the DCL verb for HUBwatch..SLINK::HOODJust add waterWed Feb 17 1993 17:2919
You run HUBwatch under OpenVMS as follows:

	$ WATCH /AGENT	[<agent_name>]
			[/IP_ADDRESS=<ip_address>]
			[/COMMUNITY="<comm_str>"]
			[/RETRIES=<count>]
			[/TIMEOUT=<seconds>]
			[/VIEW={PHYSICAL|LOGICAL|]

So, if you have an agents table which contains a record for an agent
called "bobcat", you would say "WATCH/AGENT bobcat"

If you need to specify other things, like from your example...
      $ watch/agent /ip=16.77.64.182 /com="public"  agent007 /re=8 /ti=2 /vi=l

This should do it.

162.2Use DCL to invoke the HUBwatchQUIVER::PARKWed Feb 17 1993 17:3016
    Hi Merlin,
    
    We are using the DCL command to invoke the HUBwatch.  The mcr command
    was used before we have the DCL.  So, please use the following command
    syntax to run it:
    
    $ watch/agent  [<agent_name>]
    		   [/IP_ADDRESS = nn.nn.nn.nn]
    		   [/COMMUNITY="<comm_string>"]
    
    I described the DCL syntax in the release announcement.  If you need
    one, I can send it to you again.
    
    Let me know if you have any problem.
