Re: [FP-Ops] New Foldy6 -- Help Thread

I'll point. See if this helps.

Add a semicolon at the end of the path and then the path to your batch file?

I think this is what he is after, anyway.

Naturally, you OK your way out and probably need to reboot to put the new info in memory at startup.

Close, but he needs to add the path to the wbin folder in the UnxUtils dir. Not the path to the .bat file.

Also, it is the PATH or Path variable. I am not sure about the CLASSPATH. I always use the Path one.

The path variable addition is needed so Windows knows where to find the unixutil exe's to run them when called from the .bat file.

I don't have Vista, but I will see if I can come up with an XP Pro tutorial. Should just be minor differences.

Edit: Clarified the PATH variable statement a bit.

I am sure that the one hour setting is fine. I just always set mine to every three hours. Is up to you.

My vid. tutes are for XP, and seem to be taking a while to get posted.

Vista Task Scheduler is quite a bit diff. Many more options and tabs. At least in Ultimate. Not sure about Home or Premium.

I did find a screen shot, and fixed it up a bit. So, I do know that the settings are there somewhere.

I believe that you have to go the tasks properties, then look in the triggers(?) tab. Might have to click the advanced button to show those settings. I can't get my hands on a Vista install tonight to confirm, but perhaps tomorrow.

I am not quite sure what is up with YouTube tonight, but it doesn't seem to want to give access to the tutorials that I uploaded hours ago. So, I will try it this way.

This is the one for editing your Windows Path variable.

Naturally, your path will actually be a bit diff. than mine. But it should give you the general idea.

For XP, so if Vista is much diff. just let me know.

Should be able to see it, as long as you have the flash player installed.

"Screencast.com is currently unavailable." .... but I figured out how to edit the PATH from usa2k's screenshot.

I added the following to the end of the current PATH:

;C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin

==> Is that what I was supposed to do?

Well, I did this quickly. But if correct, it should work for both sites now.

File will be re-posted below later. I need to fix a few things.

Gotta run for a bit. A am late as it is.

Edit: Sortoupdated. :o

Change Log - Fixed the upload commands for the files going to foldy.nozero.org, to account for the separate dir. paths the files need to go to.

Edit2: Sortoagain.

Change Log - Lengthened the upload timeout to 30.
           - Remove duplicate files from being uploaded twice.

Sent. It gets you one dir below f06

I update the file above again... Still will need to fix my typo that you saw. I could not find it. Eyes are getting too tired to see very good right now.

reply to Gargoyle
OK, connection timeout errors fixed. Thank you MB.

Now to debug why the data isn't right for all clients.

Check the file names.. Are they F6-01-Unitinfo.txt or F6-01-unitinfo.txt

I think that the U or u may be case sensitive. Probably needs to be lowercase u.

All unitinfo are lower case.
