[McIDAS #AIN-927620]: diagnosing issue with ADDE server

Hi Robert,

OK.

Try echoing the 3rd and 4th parameters passed to mcservsh and write those 
values out to
a file you can cat:

McINST_ROOT='/home/mcadde/mcidas'
echo "mcservsh parameters passed in = $1 $2 $3" > /tmp/mcstatus

The contents of your /tmp/mcstatus should look something like:

mcservsh parameters passed in = mcservsh -H /home/mcadde

If your HOME directory for 'mcadde' is not the same as the HOME directory for
'mcidas', you might need to make the following change in mcservsh:

#McINST_ROOT='/home/mcadde/mcidas'
McINST_ROOT='/home/mcidas'

This change assumes, of course, that you have correctly created ~mcidas/.mcenv
and that it is readable.

This message from DSINFO executions can be misleading.  If the client's DSINFO 
gets
nothing back at all, then the message says that nothing is available.

> No Datasets found of Type: GRID  in Group: BASEMAPS
> No Datasets found of Type: TEXT  in Group: BASEMAPS
> No Datasets found of Type: NAV   in Group: BASEMAPS

Again, this message can be misleading.  Putting an echo in mcservsh that writes 
to
a file, not STDOUT should help us work our way through what is happening.

Also, on our Solaris 10 system at least, I had to make the following 
modification in
the end of the mcservsh:

#exec $McINST_ROOT/bin/mcserv
su mcidas -c $McINST_ROOT/bin/mcserv

The reason I made this change is because of the following error message
I would get if the change is not made:

DSINFO I SOUTH
DSINFO: error in /etc/inetd.conf: server running as root
    No Datasets found of Type: IMAGE in Group: SOUTH
DSINFO -- done

Cheers,

Tom
