To handle repetitive tasks I've resorted to the public domain package
known as kermit. Even though I'm on a full blown TCPIP network
with telnet and rsh available everywhere Kermit is convenient
to "automate" tasks.
Works rather well,
Commands that complete quickly work great.
Commands that take a long time, timeout , prematuring terminating the process.
I've discovered that
REMOTE SET SERVER TIMEOUT 0
will make the timeout value infinite, but
I still timeout with:
"Sent too many NAKs"
Its especially attrocious when I want to mix a workload of
quick executing commands and long executing commands.
All my scripts are short, and are basically single script commands
with lots of continuation. This is probably why I can't mix.
small sample of a test script:
; SET NETWORK TCP/IP
LOG SESSION output.out
SET HOST node
script gin:--gin:--gin: root word: passwd ]> who ]> date ]> \
who~sam~si~s& ]> \
jobs~s~-l ]> \
who~sam~si ]> quit
; SET HOST
Anybody got any bright ideas?
