ORBIT-USER: A number of questions

[Daryl Siu]

Thanks for the info, I managed to get my script running, but am now having
problems with getting the mysql database.  I input the experiment ID and it
returned unknown database, which I know means that the OML did not report
any values.  I am using the sender and receiver prototypes that are listed
on the website, and those worked fine with the helloworld script, which I
was able to retrieve values for.  I am pretty sure my script is working as I
get lines that indicate packet size increased (or power level changed):

INFO prop.PktSize: PktSize = 950:Fixnum
MSG: /sender/* STDIN (app:otg,size,950)

Might there be something I am missing?  I have attached the script file if
you need any references.  Thank you for your help!

Daryl
