The instructions are in the comments at the beginning of mvchannels.tcl Follow them.

To test if you can get the locals going:

cd /var/hack
./mvchannels.tcl -file=./channels.dat

Have fun

uhh so i should start in w/ something like
./mvchannels.tcl -loop=0 > /dev/null &
??? fist thing? ,( i lost th bash prompt then restarted tive now i'm back)
:eek:

[genericuser]

LOL

Well, if I were you, I would start with exactly what I said 2 posts ago... Do that and then see if the channels move. Then move on to other things.

[twistie]

welp , i tried to follow ,,,,, this led in to syntax errors ?? i tried to copy the offending line to post , but this upset terraterm even more and resulted in bash loss , which i am rebooting to fix.

ok ;
"delaying -file=./channels.dat minute.
syntax error in expression "<-file=./channels.dat * 60000>"
while executing
"expr <$min * 60000>"
<file "./mvchannels.tcl" line 309>
what de hail does that mean?

One of the reasons you guys might be having so many problems is if you're mixing files from the different mvchannels.tcl versions. The $min error was because the variable was named something else ($delay) instead. Formula fixed that in a later version.

I think I recall he made a change in the channels.dat format sometime along the way too.

what would the correct next step be as i have obviously screwed something up ,, i was usinf mvch134 , and i did edit the channels.dat file for my "locals" , did i mess that operation up somehow? thanks for your help
