    It should be able to do this by name.

    This means that you have not set yourself up to log in between
machines without a password.  This may cause a variety of problems.

The permission denied raises another question or 3 - are you the same
account and group on the two machines?  Is that account and group
allowed execute privilege on files that need executing?  I would
suggest a whole bunch of echo statements be put in the START_AIPS and
STATR_TVSERVERS procedures in $AIPS_ROOT.  Also make a copy of
$SYSUNIX/XASERVERS in $SYSLOCAL and add echo statements in there too.
Be sure to add some $HOST's in the echos since the remote business.

Before you do all this - start aips on circular (or whatever
workstation you are on).  Then on galaxy say aips tv=circular tvok.

The really hard part is getting a remote machine to execute
START_TVSERVERS.
