•Networkcommunicationconfiguration(seeSections5.3.3and5.3.4).
•MiscellaneousUn i x configuration (see Section 5.3.5).
The following subsections describe these files in detail. Samples of the
configuration files are duplicated in the host software distribution.
If you are familiar with Un i x and its utilities, you can edit these files locally on
the IRIS 3010, using the wsiris shell escape command (~!) and the vi editor. If
you prefer, you can edit the files on the host, using whatever text editor is
most familiar to you, then transfer the files to the disk on the IRIS 3010. This
strategy has the advantage of leaving backup copies of the customized
configuration files on the host.
To support configuration of the IRIS 3010 from a host, the host software
distribution includes two utility programs: iftp and irsh. Both programs are
available when you are logged on to the remote host from the IRIS 3010. These
commands are run from the host while the IRIS 3010 is running wsiris.
File Transfer Program
The iftp program transfers files between the host and the IRIS 3010. The
command takes three arguments:
iftp mode hostfile 3010file
Mode can have one of three values:
w Write hostfile to 3010file. A temporary file on the IRIS 3010 is written
to and then renamed.
o Overwrite. As w, but the temporary file is not made.
r Read from 3010file, write to hostfile.
3010file must be an absolute pathname (i.e., it must start with ‘/’).
Local Execution Program
The irsh program issues commands to the Un i x operating system running on
the IRIS 3010 from the host. The program takes the IRIS 3010 Un i x command
and arguments as its arguments:
irsh 3010cmd arg ...
The main uses of irsh are renaming and removing files on the IRIS 3010 disk.
To rename the file oldname to newname, enter this sequence:
irsh mv oldname newname
