To prepare your system to run Medley, use the following checklist:
|
||
1. Exit suntools or any other windowing system, unless you plan to run under X (in which case you can leave X running). Medley provides its own window system and must not run simultaneously with others.(X% WINDOWS NIL X% Windows NIL NIL 13 SUBTEXT preparing% to% run% Medley)
|
||
2. Kill all your user processes (these have console as the control tty). Check to make sure you have killed any "selection_svc" process. If you do not perform this step, certain error messages from UNIX (e.g., file system full) cause those processes to print to the console, resulting in scrolling of the display.
|
||
3. Check for the directory for the software, and add it to your path, if necessary:
|
||
prompt# set path = ($path /usr/share/lde/install.sunosx)
|
||
You can also add this to your .login file(.LOGIN% FILE NIL .login% file NIL NIL 13).

Running Medley

||
Running Medley Directly
|
||
Invoke Medley by typing the name of the program, e.g.,
|
||
prompt% lde optional-sysout -k 'thishost-key'[-m memory-size]
|
||
If you are using either Xerox XNS(XNS NIL XNS% Ethernet% protocol NIL NIL 13) or Xerox PUP(PUP NIL PUP% protocol NIL NIL 13) Ethernet protocol(PROTOCOL NIL Protocols NIL NIL 13 SUBNAME PUP)s, type instead
|
||
prompt% ldeether optional-sysout -k 'thishost-key' [-m memory-size]
|
||
This, in turn, runs lde and lets it use the Ethernet directly.
|
||
optional-sysout is the name of a Lisp virtual memory image file (see the section Where Medley Looks for Your Sysout below). thishost-key is the key you obtained from Venue for the machine on which you are running.
|
||
If the sysout was created on a machine with a different size display, the image will appear garbled for several seconds. After Lisp starts running, it readjusts the display to the current size.
|
||
The -m flag lets you control the maximum amount of memory Medley will use. memory-size is a number in the range 8 through 32, in megabytes. (See the detailed explanation on page 25.)
|
||
Using the Medley Shell Script
|
||
The script will try to find a key, an appropriate emulator, and a sysout. The script relies on information about where the Medley software was initially installed on your system. (The installation script install-medley automatically updates this information for you.) The medley script assumes that you have not changed the installation subdirectory structure from when it was originally installed.
|
||
The script will first try to find a key in the file Installation directory/
|
||
.medleyKey.hostname or in ~/.medleyKey.hostname. Installation directory is where Medley was originally installed on your system. hostname is the name of the host for which the license key was issued. If neither file is found, you will be prompted for a key.

||
medley [[emulator] sysout] [Command]
|
||
emulator Given a pathname or a simple name, the command will search for emulator as follows:
