Why do I sometimes get “Cannot connect to the MIMIC daemon.” when I start mimicview?
A. As explained in the previous section, MIMIC is a client/server application. The server program mimicd needs to run before the client programs mimicview and mimicsh can do their work. When you start mimicview, the GUI client, it starts the server program mimicd automatically, if it is not already running. If so, it also starts a logging window to dump the diagnostic output of the server program. After starting the mimicd daemon, mimicview waits for a little while for the daemon to initialize.
