hagui on Mac OS X

VCS’ hagui is basically pointless, but I do like a live diagram of what’s going on when I’m creating new service groups. I also like my Mac, so here’s the quick how-to on getting it working on the Mac.

Extract the VRTScscm package from the install media, and copy it somewhere permanent. I’m using my home directory.

   $ gzip -dc VRTScscm.tar.gz | (cd /tmp; tar xf -)
   $ mv /tmp/VRTScscm/reloc/opt ${HOME}

Fix the VCS_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables in the hagui script.

   VCS_HOME="${HOME}/opt/VRTSvcs"
   JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home

I create a symlink for convenience.

   $ ln -s ../opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagui ${HOME}/bin

Job’s done. While you’re here, this is the best video on YouTube, JFYI.
