Originally developed on Sun SPARCstations running Solaris, PilotManager now runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Written in Perl with the Tk extension, PilotManager has a user-extensible HotSync daemon containing individual conduits. (It, too, is based on the pilot-link package.) PilotManager requires Perl to be installed; Tk is also necessary, but you can download it with the other packages available on the web site if you don’t have it already.
Installation Directions and “Gotchas”

your system. Depending on your hardware, operating system, and
installed software, the package for you consists of two or three

(.tar.gz) files. Everybody needs the Basic
package, which consists of the platform-independent Perl code, and
one of the Small package files, which contain binary files based on
your hardware, operating system, and the installed version of Perl.
You may also need the Tk package, depending on your installed
software configuration. Unzipping and untarring the packages creates
the files in a directory called pilotmgr/
relative to your current directory.
Change to the pilotmgr/ directory and type

checks your environment and installation. If you’re not running
CDE or Openwindows, or you don’t have plan

and SyncPlan so that they’re not called by
the startup script.
