nickel script throwing error

[govindarajan_1]

Hi all,

I have two nickel scripts provided by hp.

I executed nickel script then i received following error

bash-3.2# sh nickel

ERROR: The tool is already running under pid: 167

You must wait until it completes.


afterwards i executed one more nickel script provided by one of the HP engineer.

I exectued nickel.shar file and i received following error

bash-3.2# ./nickel.shar
mkdir - /opt/contrib
mkdir: cannot create /opt/contrib: File exists
mkdir - /opt/contrib/bin
mkdir: cannot create /opt/contrib/bin: File exists
Compiling unpacker for non-ascii files
x - /opt/contrib/bin/nickel [compressed]
mkdir - /opt/contrib/man
mkdir: cannot create /opt/contrib/man: File exists
mkdir - /opt/contrib/man/man1m
mkdir: cannot create /opt/contrib/man/man1m: File exists
x - /opt/contrib/man/man1m/nickel.1m [compressed]


I executed all those two nickel scripts under c , korn and posix shells.

for more information abt nickel scripts provided by hp please find the attachment.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
1st error messages indicates you are already running nickel.

The second case:
The "cannot ..." just indicate that the directory existed, so did not have to be created.

For example:- you should find the /opt/contrib/bin/nickel installed into
/opt/contrib/bin

hi,

try and download from here

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/catia/Utils/nickel.shar

Also you need to sh nickel.shar first

and then run ./nickel

oposite to what you have tried to do in your example above?
