Hi everyone,

I've been using Perforce on WinNt for so long it's painful to use the cmd line on Solaris. Any good GUI's that work reasonably well out there?

Well, I'm partial to tkp4: ;-)

Since there are other users who already have this set up under Linux, does anyone else have startup script files for Linux that they can send me?

I'll attach what I use. I'll also attach a weekly cron job I run to verify Perforce, checkpoint the database.

I'm not sure the "stop" for the init script quite works right. Both of these scripts have the same problem; they really run better as user "nelson", because I have administrator access to the depot. So the weekly cron job runs as me. When the p4d startup script runs as root it seems to work OK, but the "p4 admin stop" doesn't work as root. I'm sure there's a clever workaround.

Also what user/group permissions should I set up for all the Perforce files on the server for security reasons? Does the p4d server end up running as root when you run it via rc.d, or is there a way to specify that it run as a different users, say p4d or something?

My script runs as user perforce.

The huge security issue of perforce, btw, is it has very little in the way of application-level security. Don't run it on a machine that someone on the Internet could connect to.

Does anyone else have OS9 with the latest software updates available online from Apple, the latest version of the Perforce user command set, and the latest GM version of MPW (3.5.3 I believe) working?

We're using:

Mac OS 9.0.4 MPW 3.5b2 p4 Rev. P4/MAC/99.2/14790 (2000/03/24)

And a startup file that sets:

# Perforce environment variables set -e P4USER dair set -e P4PORT ramone:1666 set -e P4CLIENT itchy set -e P4EDITOR "LightWork:Projects:Perforce:Scripts:p4bbedit"

Where p4bbedit is a wrapper that opens BBEdit to edit changelists/etc.

You might want to try doing:

p4 clients

To see exactly what clients your server believes exist?
