1. Log in to 'vulcan' in the Palomar control room, user ID 'allsky',
   password [see password sheet].

2. Create 4+ terminal windows (xterm, start button located on bottom bar.)

   [see password sheet].

4. On allsky, cd into allsky_run.  You can check if the allskyMonitor process
   is already running by typing 'ps -ef | grep allskyMonitor'.  If it isn't
   running, type 'allsky.pl'.

5. (Optional) The directory that allsky is saving files to is named 
   allsky_YYYYMMDDut (today's UT date.)  'cd' into this directory and
   then type 'tail -f <directory>/*_all.log'.  This will show whatever's
   being written into the log file.

6. In another xterm, ssh into lwir (lgs) as user 'ircam'.  Password is
   [see password sheet].

7. On lwir, cd into ircam_run.  You can check if the ircamMonitor process
   is already running by typing 'ps -ef | grep ircamMonitor'.  If it isn't
   running, type 'ircam.pl'.

8. (Optional) The directory that ircam is saving files to is named
   ircam_YYYYMMDDut (today's UT date.)  'cd' into this directory and
   then type 'tail -f <directory>/*.log'.  This will show whatever's
   being written into the log file.

9. In another xterm on planetx, cd into allsky_run.  Type 'asdisp.pl'.
   Wait for an X window display and Tk GUI to pop up.  In the Tk GUI,
   press the 'Run' button to start the camera running, or 'Stop' to

   laser.  If the laser is shut off by an airplane or dome move, you
   will have to press 'Arm' again to rearm.

10. In another xterm on planetx, cd into ircam_run.  Type 'irdisp.pl'.
   Wait for an X window display and Tk GUI to pop up.  In the Tk GUI,

   open its shutter.  Press 'Run' to start the camera running, and 'Stop'
   to stop it.  If the camera is running, you may press 'Arm' to arm the
   laser.  If the laser is shut off by an airplane or dome move, you
