I think Ludmil was looking for you to start NRDS on the remote windows host.

That would be a problem since none of these machines are windows based. :D

No problem, check to make sure nrds is running on the remote system. You may want to fire off the cron job immediately.

Code: Select all

testlane2:~ # ps ax | grep nrds
 2723 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/local/nrdp/clients/nrds/nrds.pl -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2>&1
 2724 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/local/nrdp/clients/nrds/nrds.pl -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
testlane2:~ # /usr/local/nrdp/clients/nrds/nrds.pl -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I'm trying to look for the cron job to fire off manually, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I don't know what it's called or where it's stored. I would imagine it's a cron job that was set to run at the sme interval as when I ran the install script (so every minute).

We're currently a bit stumped on this one at the moment. The NRDS dev it out until next Monday, so we may have to wait for his wisdom until then.

Any chance the developer has been able to peek at this since coming back?
