MiamiDx Arexx port

[tolkien]

Hello!

I'm trying to use an Arexx script so go offline with MiamiDX when I use WHDload.
The problem is that seems that never find de MIAMI port so no execute anything.
The script is very simple obviously. You can see It here.


/*
** Miami offline - arexx script for Miami TCP/IP
**
** $VER: MiamiOffline 1.0 (9.11.96)
**
** By Kenneth C. Nilsen (kennecni@IDGonline.no)
**
*/

options results

if ~show('p', 'MIAMI.1') then do
Say "Miami is already offline or cant find port!"
Exit 0
end

address 'MIAMI.1'

ISONLINE
IF RC=0 then do
Say "Miami is already offline!"
Exit 0
END

OFFLINE

ISONLINE
IF RC=1 then do
Say "Couldn't get Miami offline!"
Say "Please terminate TCP/IP clients and try again."
Exit 0
END

QUIT /* remove this line if you want Miami to still run after the
offline procedure. The Online script will however start Miami
again if the miami port is not found */

exit 0



I run the script with RX but always shows me that miami is already offline or cant find the port.
I have rexxmast and miami running of course.

Type following in a shell to see if miami port really exists:

rx "say show('p')"

You can specify an interface with ISONLINE but normaly that isn`t needed. I don`t see something wrong with the script but you can use trace command to see what happens or goes wrong.

My go offline script for WHDLoad looks like this and should work. Maybe I`ve add the interface for some reason but can`t remember:

/*
 * If Miami is online it will go offline and quit.
*/

IF SHOW('P', 'MIAMI.1') THEN DO
    ADDRESS 'MIAMI.1'
    ISONLINE 'ppp0'           /* Check if online */
    IF RC THEN OFFLINE 'ppp0' /* Go offline */
    QUITFORCE                 /* Quits Miami */
END

say show(p) is the best way to find out the name of Miami's port.

Check tooltypes, command line arguments and MUI settings. I am quite sure you can change the port name in any of these places. Perhaps you changed it some time ago and don't remember. At least you can disable ARexx in the MUI settings.

Using rx "say show....." shows various ports but miami. In miami MUI setting I have the arexx interface enable. Im going to see if there is a tooltype can help me.

Thanks mates, now I now is not a script fault but the miami arexx port.

The Miami ARexx port should be "MIAMI.1". I didn`t found a way to change the port name but maybe I missed it.

The MUI ARexx interface should be independent to other program interfaces. So if you disable MUI ARexx then e.g. Miami ARexx works furthermore, right?

[tolkien]

Don't know the relación between mui and miami arexx.
I have a fresh install workbench 3.9 bb4. Perhaps is there a patch "closing" the miami arexx port?

Will try a simpler installation to see if It works.

[thomas]

Do show(p) without Miami running, then run Miami and do show(p) again. If the output does not differ, then Miami failed to open an ARexx port. If a port was added, the second show(p) should list it.

[tolkien]

I have disabled some wbstartup things and now It shows more ports than before, MIAMI.1 included.
I think the evil one was cyberpatcher.
Thanks mates for the help. You all are the best.
