We have in our YOKOGAWA CENTUM CS-S DCS an engineering workstation (EWS) running on UNIX. The associated information command stations (ICSs) run on UNIX. I have developed a shell program in the EWS for finding (grep) a particular tag in the control drawing. I would like to run this from remote ICS without ICS loggin into the EWS. How can I write user program and make them execute from remote ICS?

 

Dear Mihir,

what i understand is u dont want to disturb the ICS operator.

using ftp, u can save the grep program in the ICS then

u can remote login to the ICS from the EWS using rlogin command followed by the node name(say ICS36). and run your program !!

Dear Mihirr,

Here are two possible scenario:

1) Remote login from ICS into EWS and run your scripts. The search results will appear on ICS.

2) Run you scripts on local ICS. But "internally" those scripts will execute "rsh" (remote shell login) back into EWS, search for tags and the results will still appear on ICS.

Any which way, the Control Drawings resides on EWS and remote access from ICS into EWS, one form or another, is unavoidable.

best regards,
