Dear LAM community
I have successfully compiled LAM and can successfully boot lam on one host.
However, when I try to run lamboot <hostfile> where <hostfile> refers to the
list of machines that lam should send lamboot to it fails on account of the
fact that it gets an unexpected response. In essence, this response is some
superfluous text which says "Which manual page do you want?" For some
reason, the presence of this text makes lam think three's an error, and it
subsequently doesn't apply lamboot to the list of machines. (I know that
lamboot isn't running because I get errors when I run "tping -c1 N".)
I accordingly have the following questions:
1. Why the hell does each machine echo "Which manual page do you want" every
time I run a remote command? Do you have any idea where instructions for
generating such text might lie (so I can get rid of it)? I;ve had a look at
the .bashrc files and they definitely contain no "echo" statements. This
text occurs only when I run rsh <machineName> <command> and occurs as a
single line immediately before the command is executed.
2. In the absence of getting rid of this text can I just tell lamboot to
ignore superfluous messages some how? I tried using the "-x" flag (for
ignoring errors - I got this command from typing "man lamboot"), but it
doesn't recognise this command.
Any help would be much appreciated.
