Wow, Wine has come a long way since I last played with it. Doesn't dirmon2 register as a service in Windows?

PS what is the syntax you use for running dirmon in wine? Do you have it set to start up on boot as well?


thanks,

Hi Mike,
I think you need to install it and try. I don't have your experience with Dirmon.
I created a job profile 'ff', under Global properties I selected localsystem and Allow Service. Clicked on Install and and start. Then Showanalyzer started popping up.

wine "C:\Program Files\Dragon Global\DirMon2\DirMon2GUI.exe"

I'm trying to get this to work and I have dirmon2 working well, but I can't get Showanalyzer to work. I'm using it against some data files that are mounted through samba in my /etc/fstab. SA kicks off and immediately closes. When I was testing it and manually mounted the samba shares, everything worked well. Any ideas?

It relates to $PATH.

When you type echo $PATH .. if your script is localted in /usr/local/bin.. then it should be included in $PATH.
Adding it to crontab. $PATH goes to default $PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

I'm still search for a linux answer for adding /usr/local/bin.

I tried adding(add exporting it) it to /etc/profile, /root/.profile, /root/bash_profile, /etc/environment.. does'nt seem to pick it up..
so I'm still looking..

Any updates here? I'd love to have dirmon and showanalyzer running on my nas sever. Do you guys have startup scripts to share on how you made all this work?

thx

Mike,

I am going to look into iNotify and specifically http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=inc...=about&lang=en

to run comskip from my sage linux server.

Interesting, but requires kernel patches that don't look like they are on the path to mainstream introduction.

If dirmon can be made to work it seems a good way to go I think.

Thank,s

Inotify was merged into the 2.6.13 Linux kernel

I know this is an old thread, but in case someone else runs across this same issue, here's a fix for PATH: add a PATH line in /etc/crontab.

For example, at the top of /etc/crontab add this line:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

If you're running the job as a user other than root, you'd need to add the PATH to that user's crontab instead.
