Aroma Shell |
-
JiniTM
technology requires that a number of related daemons be started.
-
Started to have problems with each researcher creating unique scripts for each platform x service.
-
The solution: use Tcl/Tk as a platform-neutral shell and run a common set of scripts to start JiniTM
technology services.

Shell Configuration |
- Because Tcl is very portable, we only had to edit the configuration file to make the shell work across Solaris, Linux and Windows.

Aroma
Shell Error Capture |
- Sometimes a
JiniTM
technology-related daemon may quietly fail without a visible error message, leaving you guessing.
- The Aroma shell captures the standard error output and writes it to a file for later viewing.
