more 900's whoows - Help please:)

[ThreeIees]

Well I'm really stumped. I am able to get my channels to the 900's and NY channels to 1-99 by using the ./mvchannels.tcl reload and ./mvchannels.tcl -file=./channels.dat commands at the bash prompt. Everything is just the way I want it. But when I add the mvchannels command to the rc.sysinit file and restart, everything moves back to the 1-99. I have to assume that there is something wrong in the rc.sysinit file that is causing the mvchannels command not to execute. As a matter of fact when I do a ps ax mvchannels is not even listed.

So I have included the last lines of my rc.sysinit file here hoping that someone can help me. I have run out of ideas and have read, read, read until my eyes are red, red, red.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
ThreeIees

I would get rid of that final ">"

Good catch. That was a typo. Still not working and not listing mvchannels when ps ax. Any other ideas?

There is alreay a 4 page thread on this very topic. Perhaps we can take this discussion over there?

Are you editing the file:

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

?

Your line should look like:

/var/hack/mvchannels.tcl -loop=0 -sdelay=4 -file=/var/hack/channels.dat >& /dev/null &

I might have something here. If mvchannels is working right via the rc.sysinit should it show up as follows if the ps ax command is entered?

115 ? S 1:10 tivosh /var/hack/mvchannels.tcl -loop=0 - delay=4 -file=/var
118 ? SW 0:00 ApgManager

[genericuser]

yep. If it is running the ps entry will look like that. Is that what you have?

[ThreeIees]

Thats what I have after making the correction you gave me in your last post. I'm a little concerned right now. I rebooted, did the ps ax but the picture has not come back yet. It has been staying at "getting infromation 90%" for a long time. I hope it is not in a loop.
