RE: problem about environment variables under vxWorks-6.6

Andrew,

 

This is a 2^nd try – this time clipping out Gongfa Liu’s original message which may be triggering some behavior in the mail system.

Andrew,

 

I sent this message to tech-talk (tech-talk@aps.anl.gov) some time back but maybe it didn’t go through. I am suspicious because I sent another one later and it did go through (so this isn’t maybe a delay related issue).

If EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST is set to YES (the default) then the beacon address list is auto-configured using each of the network interfaces present on the local host. When fetching EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST, if envGetConfigParam returns a nill pointer, the server will decide to auto configure the beacon address list. So perhaps there is a 2nd possibility which might be that the system in question doesn’t have any operable network interfaces installed?
