Hi, Frank et al.

Rob Seaman suggested I resubmit this question since he was unable to
solve it.
I have some automatic digiphot/daophot scripts, and I want to set the
julian
date while running them. Here's the problem:

If I load digiphot, daophot, and THEN astutil, the routines die with
the error
message that the parameter "update" can't be found. If instead I
remember
to load astutil, THEN digiphot and daophot, my routines run fine.
I assume this is the classic problem of a conflict between tasks (with
different parameters, perhaps) being loaded by the different packages.

I solved this with apphot vs daophot by inserting a

task fitpsf="apphot$x_apphot.e" at the top of my script so I don't
actually
have to load apphot AND daophot. But, when I try to finese the current
problem by doing a

task setjd = "astutil$t_setjd_x"

the task dies with the error message:
ERROR on line 24: Cannot open connected subprocess (astutil$t_setjd.x)

thanks,
phil

Hi Phil,

Our logging system indicated that you had received a reply but this
appears not to be the case. If you can give me an explicit recipe to
reproduce the error I can give you more advice. For instance, you
say the "routines die" but you don't say which one: from daophot or
astutil?

Cheers,
Frank

Hi, Frank---

Thanks. Ed Anderson actually solved the problem for me: I needed
to say
task setjd = "astutil$x_astutil.e"
rather than "_x"

thanks anyway,
phil
