3 * install openssh-server, passwd, perl-libwww-perl (for rt), rt-3.4.1, MySQL-python
4 * had to mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts to get ssh to work inside the
5 chroot. also, disable the pam modules in /etc/pam.d/sshd
7 * A setup script of some kind would be nice that walked through :
8 - writing monitorconfig.py
9 - creation of monitorconfig.php
12 - findbad.py on sample site.
13 - loads webpage for those retreived values to confirm setup succeeded.
15 * reimplement the config.py / .config mechanism. i'd like for many commands
16 to share very similar argument or argument sets, as well as have some
17 common config options. I'm not sure the best way to do this.
19 - features of config.py
20 * parse arguments and return an object with attributes equal to the
22 * maintain values consistently across modules at run time.
23 * have default values that are not specified at each run time.
24 * easy to import and use
26 - config module is available via 'import config' or as returned by
27 parsermodule.parse_args()
28 - python supports load-once modules, so subsequent imports refer to the
32 * Find a better location to place and pull the PKL files currently in the pdb
33 directory. Ultimately, these should be stored in a real DB. Until then,
34 they should sit in a location that is accessible from the www scripts,
35 backend scripts, and user utilities.
37 * clean up plc.py; there's a lot of redundent code.
39 * figure out python paths for user commands.
40 - directories for pickle files.
41 - add user in rpm install
42 - user permissions for data files for day-to-day operations.
44 * fix BayTechCtrlCUnibe expect script.
46 * separate modules into different, logical categories, and create a python
47 module as part of the install:
55 * Add a more structured, 'automate' library of scripts and means of making
58 * add a third package for user tools that will interact with the Monitor
59 service. Mostly, I'm guessing this would be queries for the live status of
60 nodes and a more reliable 'reboot' and 'reinstall' mechanism than currently
64 * nodebad loads plc_hn2lb unconditionally
65 * nodeinfo loads act_all unconditionally
66 * change findbad.py default db name
67 * remove deps on www.printbadnodes
68 * reboot.py loads findbadpcus unconditionally.
69 * nodequery loads findbad unconditionally
70 * unified_model loads findbad unconditionally
73 * build cmdamt with g++ prior to packaging
75 * www/*.py need appropriate access to database.py, config.py, monitorconfig.py, etc.
76 - need to convert monitor.conf into monitorconf.sh and monitorconf.php
78 * pull out global configuration information from various files, like rt_db,
79 mailer.py, auth.py, and any others. Create a single configuration file
80 from which all others pull.
82 - convert plc and other files to use the new monitorconfig.py rather than
84 - need to alter all import 'auth' statements.
