    Hi,

    Should i need to enable some settings/configurations for 'ifShow' to
    get
    executed from VxWorks shell ?
    If i use 'ifShow' from the VxWorks shell, it is telling 'uknown
    command'.
    Any ideas ?

    What product versions are you using?

    Hint: It's never a bad idea to start an information request with
    version and environment information.

    The version of VxWorks is 6.5 and the processor is ARM9 .

    I'm almost done transitioning from VxWorks 5.5 to 6.5. I found that in 6.5 there is, in addition to the customary C interpreter shell, a new "IPCOM" shell. It is included by defining INCLUDE_IPCOM and friends. If the C
    shell and the IPCOM sheel are included one can switch from the C to the IPCOM shell using the command "cmd" and from the IPCOM shell to the C
    shell using the 'C' command.
    The "command" shell was introduced with VxWorks 6.0, and is
    independent of the new network stack (and IPCOM). IPCOM is just
    a user of the command shell.
    It was designed to be more of a Unix style command interface rather
    than a C interpreter like the "C" shell
    For example, if you type a command and it doesn't find it, if will
    go to the filesystem and try to load and run an RTP of that name
    (RTP == Real Time Process == executable)
    Check out the docs; its a cool shell, and extensible too, so easy to
    add your own commands.
    Cheers!

    There is far more to the IPCOM shell than just this, one accesses the functionality of VxWorks 5.5's "ifShow" using Vxworks V6.5's "ifconfig" (which is included if INCLUDE_IPIFCONFIG_CMD is defined) while executing the IPCOM shell.

    Thx in advans,

    Great info--thanks! Is there anywhere in WindRiver released docs describing IPCOM more? I'm using VXWorks6.9 and see nothing in the 6.9 docs.
