portStatus - display diagnostic information for specified port on specified MOOS node

portStatus nodeHost portName(s)

The portStatus utility displays port diagnostic information for the specified instrument port on the specified MOOS node. Multiple ports may be specified, e.g.

% portStatus sidearm6 /dev/ttySX1 /dev/ttySX2 /dev/ttySX3

The portName(s) can be abbreviated as an integer, i.e. "/dev/ttySX1" can be abbreviated as simply "1". Thus the above example is equivalent to

% portStatus sidearm6 1 2 3

This utility may be run on the same host as the node, or on any networked host from which the node host is accessible. If run on the node's host, then nodeHost should be specified as "localhost".

The following environment variables must be set:

• JAVA_HOME - location of Java installation, e.g. /j9 or /opt/java/jdk1.3.1
• JAVA - name of the JVM. E.g. on a Sidearm, JAVA should be set to j9. On a workstation with Sun's Java installed, JAVA could be set to java.
• SIAM_HOME - top of the SIAM directory tree
• SIAM_CLASSPATH - on a Sidearm, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $JAVA_HOME/lib/jclMax/classes.zip:$JAVA_HOME/lib/prsnlmot.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/RXTXcomm.jar:$SIAM_HOME/classes.  On X86 system, SIAM_CLASSPATH should be set to $SIAM_HOME/classes
