glider's console dialog. This log's content is similar to a glider's MLG file.
Dock Server's log files appear in the “log” folder. The “serialPorts” folder contains a log
file for each serial port managed by Dock Server. These logs files contain all characters
sent and received over a serial port. The maps available for Glmpc Terminal reside in the
“maps” folder. All user custom Dock Server scripts should be placed in the “scripts”
folder; the “factoryscripts” folder contains factory delivered Dock Server scripts and
may be overwritten by a Dock Server upgrade.

When Dock Server is started, it assumes the folders in /var/opt/gmc/gliders represent
gliders it should manage and that the folders’ names are the gliders’ names (as
configured in a glider’s autoexec.mi file).
The first time a new glider connects to Dock Server, it automatically begins managing
that glider by creating a folder with the glider’s name in the directory
/var/opt/gmc/gliders. This new folder contains folders for files sent to the glider, “to
