[Orca-users] problem while starting orcallator

[Eric Swanson]

So are my problems stemming from not having permission to write to the
nohup.out file on the system running start_orcallator?

I'm not cd'ed to an NFS mounted directory.  I tried while in root and tried
while in usr/local/bin.  I also checked permissions on all pertinent
directories.

Can I have more than one nohup.out file and if so how can I change the
start_orcallator script to point to another one.  Sorry if I am way off
here.

Thanks,
Eric

Sure, there's no problem editting the start_orcallator script.

The problem is probably where are you cd'ed when you're running the
script?  It may not have write permissions to the directory where
you are located.

You wouldn't be in an NFS mounted directory running as root?
