I get the same error, even if I type just: "nsradmin" all by itself.

I was pretty sure i used it to modify my changer slot config before, but i guess not. I need to eliminate the cleaning slot from the config, but the gui settings are ignored. (I have already cleared the fields in the gui, but slot 18 still shows up as cleaning)

Anyone have a direction for me before I call support?

Anyone have an idea of what this means... or how I get around it? I have found inferences that this is a new change, and that networker no longer accepts changes outside of the java console.

Interesting. I have never seen nsradmin used in this way and when I first saw your message I thought it was a typo. I tried it on a Linux box running 7.2.1 (and also another Linux box running 7.4.1) and it popped up a vi session with the resource in it - extremely nice, and something I will remember for the future.

However - I tried the same thing on a Windows box, also running 7.2.1, and I got the same message as you. From this I draw the conclusion that the syntax you are using is not supported on Windows, in the same way that visual mode is not supported in Windows (and never has been).

I don't think you are seeing something new, just a limitation of the nsradmin implementation on a particular platform.

However: at 7.3.x and above you cannot edit jukebox resources from nsradmin anyway. Well you can, but the changes are ignored. I confess to total ignorance about how this now works, can anyone enlighten me please?
