NAME

dr_vue − diagnose and report on the HP VUE environment

SYNOPSIS

dr_vue

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This client is not supported by HP in HP-UX Release 9.0.  It is included in the release, but it is now installed in the directory /usr/contrib/bin/X11.  Your $PATH environment variable should contain this directory path in order to run this client.  See the release notes for more information. 

dr_vue is a script that checks the integrity of the X Window Systems fileset as it relates to the running of HP VUE.  It checks for the existence and permissions of HP VUE files, as well as the status of some other files that HP VUE is dependent upon to run successfully.  If there are problems, or information that the user may wish to know, dr_vue issues statements informing the user to that effect. 

dr_vue checks networking to see if the system can ping itself, if the system is properly named, and to see if hosts listed in /etc/X0.hosts can be reached.  If a host cannot be reached, dr_vue informs the user of that host’s name. 

dr_vue checks the current run-level of the system, the initdefault run-level, and the run-level that HP VUE is set to respawn.  If these are different from the default levels that HP ships, dr_vue informs the user. 

dr_vue checks the softbench configuration file, softinit (or $HOME/.softinit), for the default HP VUE tools that should be listed.  If one of them is not listed, dr_vue informs the user.  dr_vue also prints the date that the file was created. 

dr_vue checks the /usr/adm/inetd.sec file to insure that the system name is represented in the mserve and spc lines in the file.  If they are not literally represented, dr_vue will issue a statement requesting that the user insure that the system is represented by domain, wildcard, or inet address. 

dr_vue checks $HOME to see if a .Xdefaults file exists. If one exists, dr_vue informs the user that HP VUE does not use the resources in the file, but instead uses a resource database into which the user can merge defaults.  dr_vue supplies the user with the proper command to merge the into the database. 

dr_vue checks the .vueprofile file for stty, tset, or prompt commands. If they exist, dr_vue issues a warning.  It also checks the current environment for the $DISPLAY variable.  If it is set different than <hostname>:0, dr_vue informs the user that HP VUE sets the $DISPLAY variable. 

dr_vue checks the existence and permissions of HP VUE files and directories.  If there are missing files or directories, or improper permissions, dr_vue reports the problem.  dr_vue checks for the correct number of links in the special executables that are built together for the VUE environment.  If the link count is incorrect, or the "what" string is inaccurate, dr_vue informs the user. 

DEPENDENCIES

dr_vue must be run on a system that contains the Hewlett Packard Visual User Environment, Version 3.0. 

ENVIRONMENT

dr_vue can be run from the command line whether or not X or HP VUE is currently running.  dr_vue also has an action associated with it, and it can be initiated from the General/Unsupported toolbox if the user is currently running HP VUE Version 3.0.
