20010111: Red Book Graphics

Mike,

Anytime you see the MAILBOX read errors or ipchannel messages,
it is generally due to a "gplt" process that is hung, or wasn't ended with
gpend.

Exit out of all GEMPAK programs. Then try running:
$NAWIPS/bin/scripts/cleanup -c

The above may save some effort...but won't find everything.

Run /bin/ps and look for any "gplt", "vg" or other gempak programs/device 
drivers
and kill them.

Then run "ipcs" to see if there are any message queues still open. If so,
close these with the "ipcrm" command.

This is what the cleanup script tries to do, but not all OS's have the same
output from ps and ipcs, so the parsing in the script sometimes runs into 
trouble.

Once that is cleared up, you should be able to go again.
