Sorry it was my first time using mailing list, should I reply to you or to 
staf-us...@lists.sourceforge.net?

I suspected that in the beginning. But it turned out that staf <stax-machine> 
PING PING works. Also if I execute the process command in command-line 
interface. it works. For example:

I tried to run:

staf <stax-machine> PROCESS START COMMAND "/usr/bin/vmrun" PARMS list WAIT

and it works fine. But the same command does not work in STAX, it just hangs. 

Regards,
Zhe Li

This is most likely a network issue, where the machine where the process is 
executing can't communicate with the STAX service machine to inform it that the 
process has completed. On the target machine, try running "STAF <stax-machine> 
PING PING". If it fails with an RC 16, then see section 3.1.4 "Why can't my 
STAF machines communicate?" in the STAF FAQ: 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFFAQ.htm

Thanks,
David

Hello everyone!

About two weeks ago, our STAX script stopped working. It seems it executed the 
command correctly, but could not be able to receive the response from the 
target machine. So even after the command is executed on the target machine, 
STAX still thinks it is still launching hangs there. I made a simple script to 
try it out but with no luck.

test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>

<function name="start">

</if>
</sequence>
</testcase>
</function>
</stax>

I tried reinstalled STAF, STAX and JRE on both machines but it still didn't 
work. Could anyone please tell me what might be wrong? Thanks a lot!


Cheers,
