Re: {bb} Client running?

["PAUL WILLIAMSON" <pwilliamson@mandtbank.com>]

A few items to check:

On the client itself:

uname -a (this should be the name in the bb-hosts file)
nslookup (this name) - should come back with the correct name and ip
address
nslookup (ip address) - should match the name in the previous example
ps -ef|grep bb - should return at least one item, maybe more if you
catch it while 
things are happening.
In bb-hosts, make sure that at least BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER are
defined.
If they aren't or their identified incorrectly, things won't work.

If any of these don't do what is expected, things won't work.

On the server:

In bb-hosts - Make sure the client is defined with the exact case as
you learned 
in the above examples.
In $BBVAR/hist, look for the client.  If you don't see it, do a grep of
the client 
ip address in all files, then look at that.  I'm betting it's that
you've gt your 
bb-hosts looking for one device, but the client is sending information
as 
a different one (probably something to do with CamelCaps or something)

Good luck!

Hi All,

Is there anyway for me to test whether a bb19e client is actually
operating?
Svr is 1.6e1 running on Solaris 9 and is fully functioning, but
clients
installed on SUSE 9.0 and SLES8 just seem to do zip. Server sees
nothing?
