Following the option flags, a hostname can be specified. Doing this causes
wsiris always to connect to this host and not to give the prompt:
Connect to what host?
The IRIS 3010 is shipped with a default /.wsirisrc file that contains these
options:
-z 3 -x
The host distribution contains a copy of this file named wsirisrc. To configure
the IRIS 3010 from the host, edit the host copy of the file, then transfer it to the
IRIS with this command:
iftp w wsirisrc /.wsirisrc
The default configuration file may not work for some serial communications
environments, e.g., if half-duplex is required. In this case, /.wsirisrc will have
to be edited locally on the IRIS 3010.
If an invalid /.wsirisrc is put on the IRIS 3010 disk, it will not boot correctly. If
this happens, use the boot failure recovery procedure described in Section
5.2.5.
Window Manager Conguration
The IRIS 3010 can be configured to start the window manager, mex,
automatically. The window manager options are controlled through the file
/.mexrc. The IRIS User’s Guide contains a description of what mex expects to
find in this file. The default configuration file on the IRIS 3010 is different
from the one described in the IRIS User’s Guide.
The boot sequence checks for the existence of /.mexrc. Only if it finds one will
mex be started. The IRIS 3010 is shipped with the default window manager
configuration file with the name /mexrc, which means that mex is not started up
during bootstrap. To have mex start automatically, change the filename to
/.mexrc by entering this command on the host:
irsh mv /mexrc /.mexrc
To disable mex once it’s been enabled, enter:
irsh mv /.mexrc /mexrc
