The Add Host button in the PADE Setup Files window enables the user to enter new hosts in the list of hosts kept by PADE. When the user selects this button, the PADE Add Host window appears. This window consists of a text-entry box on the top preceded by the text Host name:, another text-entry box in the middle preceded by the text Host commands:, and a row of four buttons along the bottom. These buttons consist of the Clear Name, Clear Commands, Save, and Cancel buttons.
The Host name text-entry box enables the user to enter the name of the new host. Note that this name must match the name of the corresponding host as listed when the user issues the conf command in the PVM console program. It is safe practice, when using PADE, to start the virtual machine ahead of entering anything in the PADE Setup window and, in addition, to invoke the PVM console ahead of time. If these names do not match, then pvmmake will likely fail when invoked by PADE.
The Host commands text-entry box enables the user to enter the commands that must be issued on the remote host in order to compile the source files there. Multiple commands may be entered here as long as they are separated by semicolons.
The row of buttons along the bottom of the PADE Add Host window perform the following functions.
