emcrsh: server part locks up

Hi jpka,

Glad you got things working, perseverance will out in the end.

Just a bit of extra info.

The timing of the set wait none did appear to be important in some further testing I did.

If left until later in the startup sequence, instead of just after set enable EMCTOO I would sometimes get a
SET WAIT NAK return.
Did not cause a lock up on those occasions, but I did not do too much thereafter, so could have been a problem later.

Keep plugging away

regards

To specify a path for files, this worked for me (emc2.5~pre):

$ emcrsh --path path_to_files/ -- -ini path_to_inifile

the trailing slash (/) on path_to_files is required
i suspect this behavior is same in 2.4

Hi Dewey

Yeah I had picked up on that thanks

....It defaults to ../../nc_files unless launched with the --path switch.

Can only guess that the [DISPLAY] PROGRAM_PREFIX = tag in the .ini file was not present when emcrsh was originally written and given that the --path switch existed and worked, there was no attempt to change things in later revisions.

regards
