Using Emcrsh With Axis

I have a simple 2-axis setup and have been working to get some sort of command-line remote access working. Emcrsh has been much more successful than axis-remote (thanks to dgarrett for the suggestion and initial help), but I am having two important issues.

First, I am having no problems opening .ngc files, but I am working primarily with Python scripts. I have tested a few Python scripts by opening them directly in Axis and running them there, so I know they work. But after I successfully open a Python file using emcrsh and then try to run it, Axis throws an error. I have gotten "Unknown word starting with e" and "Unknown word where unary operation could be." These errors perhaps indicate that emcrsh is trying to parse Python files as another file type (probably .ngc), which obviously wouldn't turn out well. Is it just impossible to run Python scripts via emcrsh?

To perhaps better indicate my process, the following is the series of emcrsh commands executed to the point of failure:


My second issue regards emcrsh seizing up. After certain commands or errors (including the aforementioned Python error), emcrsh will become unresponsive. As in, I can type commands, but they won't be echoed back or executed. Another time this seizing up always happens is after the following:

It seems unreasonable that I wouldn't be able to use the machine after turning it on, but I won't make any assumptions. Does any of this seem like typical behavior?


Thanks for reading this far, and thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi

See this thread and the workaround which seemed to prevent emcrsh crashes

Thanks for the help, ArcEye! I still would love any advice on using Python with emcrsh, if anyone has any thoughts.
