CAUTION!!!! Re: SOLARIS 7 start/stop script for PilotManager v1.107

[Trevor Pretty - SolNet Technologies - Sun NZ ISO <trevor@NewZealand>]

OOPS  CAUTION!!!!!!

It don't run in /etc/rc3.d as this is run by root and you get file
permission problems. You may be able to just change the file
permissions to give root acces but I've moved the script my ~/bin and 
run from my .login.

OK I should have tested it a bit more - SORRY!

Be careful the -daemon also does not like full sync - this caused some grief.

I nearly lost all my dtcm - but I back it up each night and keep two days worth - Phew!

I've called the script Pilot-Deamon in my ~/bin and changed my pm aliases to:-

alias pm 'Pilot-Deamon stop ; /usr/local/pilot/PilotManager'
alias pm.sync 'Pilot-Deamon stop ; /usr/local/pilot/PilotManager -sync'
alias pm.install 'Pilot-Deamon stop ; /usr/local/pilot/PilotManager -install $*'

This stops two PilotManagers running by accident. This message stumped me 
for 5 mins "Wrong packet type on queue" after I logged out & in
when I tried to use the GUI. I then remembered that PilotManger -daemon 
was running because its now in my .login!  However I was panicing at the 
time about loosing 10 years of cm appointments and it is getting late 
on a Friday - don't mention the words wife/telephone/when/comming/home :-)

As the instructions say the -daemon option is for advanced users.

I'm off for the weeken now - good luck - don't call me :-)

pkill and pgrep commands however make these sorts of scripts a much easir job.
