- Maintenance
- NeXtMidas requires very little maintenance. There are just a few things
to keep an eye on.
- NeXtMidas Save Files
- A state file is created when NeXtMidas is started.
- Running nmend at the end of a NeXtMidas session will
clean up the state file.
- Many users get lazy and don't bother running nmend when
they are done.
- The resulting state files get left in the user's home directory
with names like nmsf_4694.msf.
- They are safe to clean up and deleting them will not affect a
running NeXtMidas application. (The only time someone will be
affected is if they exited NeXtMidas and then go to back into
it later -- they will just lose their current state.)
- Data Files
- It is not uncommon for users to forget to clean up temporary files
when they are done using them.
- Periodically it may be necessary to go through the data directories
and clean out the "junk". Just be careful, one man's junk is another
man's treasure.
- AUX Entries
- From time-to-time file resources may be changed (NFS mounts moved,
etc).
- When this happens some of the AUX entries may need to be updated
(see AUX for details).
- Java Versions
- When new Java versions get installed the environment variable
$JAVAHOME will need to be updated.
- Do not remove an existing Java installation if
it is in use!
- All NeXtMidas applications will need to be started using a new
Java version before the old one can be removed.
