Chooser Menu on Envizex II X Terminal?

[Brian McEntire]

Hello folks, I hope there are some HP X Terminal experts in the audience (may be a small group I'm afraid.)

We have several X Terminals (HP Envizex II) which boot from a machine named as1.

I'm trying to get a new Envizex II X Terminal working with a Chooser menu but I have the following strange problem:

Each time the X Terminal boots by turning it on, the chooser menu does not come up and instead I only see the login window for the as1 machine.

But, if I give a command: remsh xt7 reboot (forcing a reboot with a remote command) the X Terminal will boot and the Chooser Menu will come up.

Anyone know how I can make the Chooser menu come up each time the power is turned on to the X Terminal? Have any ideas why its working the way it is now?

(I have already reset the X Terminal to factory defaults, and I am using a configuration file on the as1 machine manage the X Terminal's config.)

* Bonus points for anyone who can list, or point me to a list, of the commands that are available by remote remsh calls.

Thanks!

Bonus pts first :

run remsh get help lists most remsh options ... there are others less well documented eg remsh reboot

also check the tech ref guide located in the /opt/hpxt/enware sub dir it's in html format ..

OK now the problem : sounds a little odd ....

by default the xterm will boot to the enware server as1 if there were problems ....

I'd suggest you boot the xterm, login to as1 : press F12 get the config gui -> Xserver-> XDM-> Mode-> set to xdmcp broadcast save , exit reboot xterm, if the problem persists please detail :

remsh get installed,log and config and post here.

Thank You Alex, that fixed it (kinda!)

I can now boot the X Terminal right into the chooser. Thats the good part.

The bad part is, I thought I'd configured it to d/l its configfile from as1. Now, I'm not so sure it was every reading that file.

What should the X Term's config file be specifically named?

/opt/hpxt/enware2/config/ ???
xt7-ohd.config ?

(It's name is xt7-ohd)

Thanks for your help. Those get commands were very useful.

config files :

normally called .cfg but it wont matter.

normally expected to be found in :/opt/hpxt/enware2/config.

most importantly is the Remote config flag : needs to be set to true eg :

hpwin057:/opt/hpxt/enware2/config>(glennie)> et config | grep -i remote <
# Remote Config File for terminal hpwina24
Remote Con
fig File = hpwina24.cfg
Remote Config Security = false
Remote Config = true.

Tip : get things working as expected then run remsh hpwina24 get config > .cfg

ps if you want a finite list of remsh commands drop me an email but you have the most common ones already .....
