[Orca-users] RE: Digest Number 165

[Johnson, Bruce]

It sounds as though Orca 2.95.2 still doesn't run as a daemon.  I submitted
a patch something like six months ago which caused Orca to fork a child
process and run a daemon, but it apparently didn't make the cut because this
is a Unix thing and some benighted people prefer NT.

Try sticking an ampersand at the end of the command line in your startup
script and pipe stderr and stdout to a logfile.  (And set up a cron job to
cat /dev/null > said-logfile.)  Be advised that I think the process will
still go away when the user on the parent terminal logs off.  (I always have
to play with it to remember.)

Subject: Initial install /configure question

Hi all,
  I have just finished configuring ORCA I think.  I have ORCA 2.95.2 
running on Solaris 2.6.  I got all the way through  the steps as 
listed in the INSTALL file.  On the last step it says to run orca.  I 
am using orcallator.se so I did that.  

  I guess I'm not sure of the this step is doing.  I specified to 
start orcallator run at bootup.  The ./bin/orca -v lib/orcallator.cfg 
just appears to be running and doesn't free up the window.  Is this 
supposed to happen?  Did I configure it incorrectly?

Thanks!
