Hello!
Many users and consultant have been having problems using gctl.
I tried to use it an couldn't get it work under any
cirsumstance. On M11-113-3, gctl returned:
could not open galatea server on M11-113-3
% gshutdown
[3] 21043
% gstart
[4] 21049
% gctl &
% could not open galatea server on M11-113-3
I tried these remidies in the Athenadoc guide and that did not
help. I tried it as root and from another workstation. To no avail.
Other consultants have not been able to make it work as well.
Could you please look at Section 2.1 of the Video Workstation
guide and make sure that gctl runs as stated. Thank you.
Athena Consultant

p.s. Here is information on how to read the Video Workstation guide
on-line.
From an Athena workstation:
attach athenadoc
cd /mit/athenadoc
viewdoc video.workstation.PS &
After you type the 'viewdoc' command, move the mouse to the upper left
hand corner of your screen, and then press the left mouse button.
Inside the document previewer, you can go forward a page, back a page,
or exit. You do this either by clicking a mouse button on the
appropriate box at the upper left of the window, or by pressing:
Left Button: previous page
Middle Button: exit
(that's both buttons simultaneously on a two-button mouse)
Right Button: next page
