Why are the Pipes VIs missing on PXI Linux RT systems?

This looks like it will work

Worked, thanks for the reminder.

Experimenting - I changed the rtexe to run at start-up.  Tehn rebooted, and stopped the program.

 

Then ran the script file to launch the rtexe again - this time the VI appeared on the gui, but then quit.

 

"Startup Application:/home/lvuser/natinst/bin/startup.rtexe

 

Welcome to LabVIEW 19.0.1f1 

 

LabVIEW caught fatal signal

19.0.1f1 - Received SIGSEGV

Reason: Address not mapped to object

Attempt to reference address: 0x0x7f07c8005104

 

./lvrt-manuallaunch: line 6: 11673 Segmentation Fault    /usr/local/natinst/etc/init.d/lvrt-wrapper $STARTUP_PARAM $PID_LVRT_WRAPPER SUI_ENABLED"

"

 

When I don't set it to Run as Startup and run the bash file to launch lvrt-wrapper - it simply stops at 

 

"Welcome to LabVIEW Real-Time 19.0.1f1"

 

And doesn't open the VI front panel....odd.

Oops had a Front Panel open property in a VI - removed that.

 

 

No more Segment faults.

 

The RTEXE has to be set to Run as Startup for the lvrt-wrapper call to launch the VI - which is kind of annoying.  I'll have to see if I can avoid having to use that setting.  It's not looking that promising.

 

I can't find any information about /usr/local/natinst/labview/lvrt binary

 

Hm...

Don't bother. It won't work without it.

Well shoot. That's annoying.

 

I guess I will be replacing xinetd with just a LabVIEW exe to monitor the ports of interest and launch applicable code.

Had another idea - 

 

So I have to have the system set to Run as Start-up - fine.

I can create start-up script to run to set a flag in an INI file to False (do not run LV Code) that my code will check on start.

I can set the start-up script to run before the LVRT Daemon start-up process I believe.

Then I add code to the xinetd start-up script I created that first sets the flag to TRUE to allow the startup.exe code to run.

 

Thus is we ever have a power-up event the system won't just up an run the LabVIEW code and will wait for xinetd to open the connection.

 

I am still struggling to prove that xinetd will pass the information to/from the LabVIEW EXE - I guess that is the next step again after I prove I can get a start-up script to work to shut down my code via flag and then the shell script that xinetd will call can start it.

How set in stone is an inetd-style load process again? Because it usually tends to simplify system operation, and this is moving very far away from that.

It's how all the other systems and legacy systems are set up.  This isn't that much more complicated compared to rewriting all the other system code.

Well I actually got xinetd to run a service and change the run Flag to TRUE when I connected from a TCP client on my laptop to the PXIe on the port specified in the service, now I just need to incorporate the start of the LVRT EXE into that shell script.


Then I need to see if I can pass information through the xinetd connection...  😕
