talking to vxWorks

I guess with this question still in mind, what is a good way to learn how to
get one computer to send commands such as unix commands or some other script
like commands to another computer, and how could it be monitored?

We have an I2C bus card being developed, and the test drivers are being
written in/for VXWorks. Are there any drivers for communicating with VXWorks
through serial or networked from LabVIEW 5.1.1 in a windows 98 platform to
where we can both send and receive data (execution time is not a huge
constraint)? I figure doing this would be easier then writing new drivers
for the card in C. How would I go about finding more information about this
area?

Thank you,

Hi,
you can configure your vxWorks to use the following devices for the
shell:
- Serial
- VGA
- Ethernet
(only one at the same time)

If you have configured a serial connection, you only need a terminal
program on the other side to send shell commands and to receive the
results from vxWorks. This you can also manage with LabVIEWs serial
VI's.

If you have your vxWorks configured to use a ethernet connection,
vxWorks runs a telnet server you can connect to with LabVIEWs TCP VI's.
The IP address of your vxWorks machine you can configure by yourself,
and the port for telnet is a international define. When you have
established the connection you can send shell commands and receive
results the same way like with a serial connection.

I hope that will help.
Torsten
