Hi,

Should i need to enable some settings/configurations for 'ifShow' to
get
executed from VxWorks shell ?
If i use 'ifShow' from the VxWorks shell, it is telling 'uknown
command'.
Any ideas ?

Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru

What product versions are you using?

Hint: It's never a bad idea to start an information request with
version and environment information.

The version of VxWorks is 6.5 and the processor is ARM9 .

shell. It is included by defining INCLUDE_IPCOM and friends. If the C
shell and the IPCOM sheel are included one can switch from the C to the
IPCOM shell using the command "cmd" and from the IPCOM shell to the C
shell using the 'C' command.

There is far more to the IPCOM shell than just this, one accesses the
functionality of VxWorks 5.5's "ifShow" using Vxworks V6.5's "ifconfig"
(which is included if INCLUDE_IPIFCONFIG_CMD is defined) while executing
the IPCOM shell.

The "command" shell was introduced with VxWorks 6.0, and is
independent of the new network stack (and IPCOM). IPCOM is just
a user of the command shell.

It was designed to be more of a Unix style command interface rather
than a C interpreter like the "C" shell

For example, if you type a command and it doesn't find it, if will
go to the filesystem and try to load and run an RTP of that name
(RTP == Real Time Process == executable)

Check out the docs; its a cool shell, and extensible too, so easy to
add your own commands.

Cheers!

Hi,
From the version I'm using:
- Network component
- Network Utility component
- Show Routines Compoment
+ interface show routine

Or something like that, but that may let you find out where this is :)

Hope this helps.

Great info--thanks! Is there anywhere in WindRiver released docs describing IPCOM more? I'm using VXWorks6.9 and see nothing in the 6.9 docs.
