philippeg	Hello Remotle, the StartDsPath parameter is used by TANGO to to find the Device Server program. For instance, DS are by default into /usr/lib/tango directory into debian/ubuntu OS. However, if you have a Device Server elsewhere, you should add this path to StartDsPath to let TANGO know where ot find your DS program. This StartDsPath can be found using jive, into the Starter configuration, into "Properties" of the concerned device. Hoping this will help. - Philippe

Hello Remotle,
the StartDsPath parameter is used by TANGO to to find the Device Server program.
For instance, DS are by default into /usr/lib/tango directory into debian/ubuntu OS.
However, if you have a Device Server elsewhere, you should add this path to StartDsPath to let TANGO know where ot find your DS program.

This StartDsPath can be found using jive, into the Starter configuration, into "Properties" of the concerned device.
Hoping this will help.

Reynald	You can edit this path via Astor, when right-clicking on your host and selecting "Edit properties". Rosenberg's Law: Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new. Corollary: The only software that's worth making is software that does something new.

Reynald	Host usage is just a custom comment which will appear in parenthesis near your host name (mehdi in your case) in Astor main window which could help you to identify easily what is running on your host for instance. You can put whatever you want in there. This is just to help you. Just try it… The Device Servers PATH is what you should edit in your case. If you edit it there, you don't need to edit the Starter properties as Philippe was suggesting in jive. Simply add in there the directories (one directory per line) where your device server executables are located on the host you want to control. Do not click "Manage notifd", you probably don't need it in your case if you are using a recent Tango version using ZMQ instead of the notifd for the event system.

Remotie	Hi Reynald, I ADD in the device servers PATH where the device server are located but i've got the same error(see the attachments) Attachments:

Reynald	Please put the following string in the device server PATH: /home/Temperature/bin You should put only the list of directories where your device servers executables are located, not the command line to start it.

Remotie	I ADD /home/Temperature/bin in the device servers PATH but the same error Edited 6 years ago Attachments:

Reynald	It looks like you forgot a "/" in front of /home/Temperature/bin (?) We cannot see on your second screenshot. If you didn't forget the "/", is your executable really in /home/Temperature/bin?
