Pass commands to UNIX shell opened in Windows XP OS

[Purp1eOne]

I am currently running Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP box.  I use Exceed to open a UNIX shell to do work in UNIX from my windows machine.  I can open the UNIX shell with the sys exec vi but how do I pass commands to the UNIX shell I opened?

You might want to look into the OpenG pipe functions. There is an old alpha archive somewhere here in this forum but there has been some extra work done on it. The current code can be found in the OpenG Toolkit CVS repository on sourceforge.

I went to the sourceforge site to take a look and started the install process but after looking at the install instructions it says I need a run time engine of 8 or greater which I don't have:

Kind of a novice here but I don't think this will work with LabView 7.1, will it?

Also make sure you have the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine installed.

Note: The LabVIEW 8.0.1 and 8.2.1 run-time engines can co-exist together with the LabVIEW 8.5 (and newer) run-time engine. You still need to install the run-time engine's listed below to use VIPM, even if you have a newer version of LabVIEW installed. VIPM 1.1 and 2.0 VIPM 1.1 and 2.0 require the LabVIEW 8.2.1 run-time engine installed on your machine. See also: Where do I get the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine? VIPM 1.0 VIPM 1.0 requires the LabVIEW 8.0.1 run-time engine installed on your machine. See also:

The 8.2.1 Runtime engine is required for VIPM. That's what installs the packages. You configure VIPM for the version of LabVIEW you have. The VIs themselves are in 6.1 (I'm pretty sure all of them are still at this version), so you can open them in 7.1.

There is no problem in having the 8.2.1 Runtime engine with a 7.1 LabVIEW installation.

Smercurio is right, and their is no OpenG package for the newer VIs so you will actually want to get them directly from CVS.
