Robin, try removing "-Shared" from the reg command stanza. It doesn't seem
appropriate for a shell script.

We have added several options to the Netview tools menu and window using
application registration files. Most of these tools are X window
applications and the command used to invoke the application is a script
which sets up environment variables. An example is:
Action App {
Command -Shared "/usr/sbin/app_behaviour.sh";
}
Now these scripts can generate output via echo commands. We have
observed odd behaviour when after a prolonged login (to UNIX) session
the applications cannot be invoked from the tools menu or window. Logout
and login, or stopping and starting Netview seem to cure the problem. It
is still a puzzle as to why the applications cannot be started when this
happens but fortunately it occurs infrequently.
I was reading the Netview for UNIX Programmer's Guide and it says here
that "Commands that are tty-based (non-X Window applications) must be
run in an X-terminal window."
Would you count a script that can do echo commands as tty-based and
might this be the cause of our problem?
