Dr. Patrick:


Thanks a lot for the prompt reply to my question regarding installing
Janos. I could manage getting the sample tests run using instructions
given by you. But now I am facing one more difficulty. While executing
"ping.start" from commandline, in the
/users/zvishal/janos/janos-991004/test/java/ants directory, the two
xterms do appear, but I get following exceptions:

Root flow in effect.

Debug.exit() invoked by Primoridal Node Flow
 

and the same thing happens for all the three interfaces which are
instantiated. 

kill: No job matches pattern.

This follows the exceptions at the host where ping.start is executed.


There seems to be a small error somewhere and I am not being able to
figure it out.

The configuration I am using is :

Red hat linux ,
JDK 1.1.6 ,

I would be thankful to you if you could suggest where I am going wrong.

Yours truly,

Vishal
