This may not be the right place. I am a computer tech for five flight schools. I've never had this problem and I hope
someone here can help me. One of the flight school bought a flight simulator from Mynix. As they are the smallest of
schools they could not afford the larger, newer flight sims, so they bought one that was working but old. After having
it moved from coast to coast, at some point they lost the log ins and can not get it running. The sim is huge and looks
like its part of a Plain. The sim is set up on a network of four computers. One is for the projector, one for the
copilot and the other for the pilot. All run windows. The main computer that talks to the simulator itself, and then
runs all the calculations for the sim is running qnx 4.25. It comes up with a log in that no one knows the name or pass
word to. I can type in root and its pass word but it just logs in the shows a # sign under today's date. I am unsure how
to get the program, if any to start. ITs a 15k machine that's worthless without this one computer. Also, I called the
company who made it and no one there knows how to fix it. The item is so old that the people who worked there who knew
how to get it to work no longer work there. If this is not the right place for posting this I'm sorry. If it is not it
would be great and much appreciated if any one could point me in the right direction.

RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
The screen shot shows you are logged in properly.
Before that there are a bunch of suspicious errors, are they expected? Are they part of the problem? Don't know.
Maybe it`s just a matter of starting the right program from the prompt #. I guess you could look on the HD for programs
that are not part of the OS to see if one of them is the one you need.

Re: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
The errors are because its not plugged into the network of computers. I had to unplug it and bring it home as home work.
I am logged in under root but i am unsure what programs there are to use. I'm used to windows and even command lines in
dos. The commands I have found online for this sys I am unsure about using. If I destroy something I will never get it
back.

Re: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
It might be trying to start up 'accent_start' from the network.
ie. if it was on the network, it might just work...

Re: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
Just got back to the office a few minutes ago and tried #acsent_start. Said not found. Is there a way of finding all
the programs that are on the computer via a command?

Re: qnx 4.25 login problem
This is the window I get when I plug it back into its network. I don't know what the login is but if I use root I can
log in under that. Once there I cant find any commands that can show me whats on the drive. I had thought about using a
linix cd disc to boot it up but when loaded it only showed the cd rom and floppy drive but not the HD. I took the drive
out and put it into a windows computer and it found the drive but asks to be formatted. Its very old and the drive its
self is only 3gb's. There was a cd at one point that ran a program for the user so they did it need to log in each time
but that cd is missing. With out knowing whats on the drive I can't guess at what command to use.

RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
The QNX file system is proprietary. The filesystem could be read by Linux but I don't think it does by default, you have
to install the modules for that. Windows has no support for it.
Can you run a command like ls ?

Re: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
Yes I can and this is what I get. The cd that used to auto run, ran a program in the hd. Im unsure of what its called
and how to run it. let alone how to make the cd again. Any more ideas would help greatly.

RE: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
That looks like a normal QNX4 disk. The programs you are looking for could be under /home. But it could be anywhere on
the disk...

Re: RE: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
I can now look under each folder on the hd thank you very much you have no idea how much this helps. My problem is short
of learning all new code Im unsure of what to look for. This sys doesn't run .exe files or .su files correct ? What
would a runnable program file look like ?

RE: RE: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
Program that can be run have an executable flag attach to them. You can look at the flags by doing "ls -l(el)", -l
stand for long format. It's the x has seen in the left side. However if the first letter is d instead of - that means
it's a directory.
-rwXrwXr-X 1 root root 54715 Feb 04 00:50 pax
-rwXrwXr-X 1 root root 25413 Feb 04 00:50 ps
Under QNX and linux for that matter, the file name is NOT an indication of what the program is or does. The . is not a
separator, it's a character just like any other. Extension have no mean to the computer, only to the human.

RE: RE: RE: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
Any x anywhere but it must NOT start with a d ( like dev ) .
Also all these files you mention are related to QNX, it is probably not what you are looking, and if you start something
that should be start, you could crash the machine. Stay away from dinit, rm, rmdir, mv, to name a few.
Do a each on QNX site for commands you don`t know about before starting them. If you know anyone that knows linux they
should feel somewhat comfortable and could help you find what you are looking for.

Re: RE: RE: RE: RE: qnx 4.25 login problem
At the start of this I had a screen shot of when the computer started up. It looked like it was looking for a cd to run
something. Im guessing it was a bootable cd rom that ran the programs ont he drive.
automap: not found
ascent_start: not found
I found a folder thanks to everyones help that is named Ascent. I still can not find that program. If thats what I need
to run. To run a program do I simply type the name in the cmd line ? Also, what does the l mean in the front of the run
time?

You could try also using the following to help:
alias | more <- this will list any known aliases created for root
cat /etc/passwd <- will list all users on the system
cat /etc/config/sysinit <-The /etc/config/sysinit file is a script that starts up the main system services. In order to
edit this file, you must log in as root.
looking in /usr/bin
