@matrixmadhan

Thank you for taking the time to read my post! Just thought that many of us have experienced similar situation at the dawn of their careers. Smilie

@spynappels

Yes, to end users we are all same. When we try to tell that it's not our issue exactly and some other team has to work on that, they think we are just giving "excuse" to get away. That hurts!

My intention in this case was not show off how capable I was. I just wanted to make up for the other teams ignorance as I know how it goes to the end users when something important does not work. I am an end user too for my companies IT team (yes they have separate IT team which takes care of internal infrastructure) and it would be really difficult for me to work if a proxy server or a terminal server, which gives us access to the client's infrastructure, goes down!

However, I have learned it hard way and have sworn that I will never repeat such crazy deed. Smilie

NAME
Origami - command-line management tool for Folding @ Home clients. SYNOPSIS
origami {install | archive | restore | erase | name | status | monitor | proxy | start | stop | version | help} [<options>...] origami {deploy | network-archive | network-restore | network-name | network-monitor | network-name | network-start | network-stop} [<options>...] origami help origami version DESCRIPTION
Origami allows you to install, monitor, archive or restore Folding @ Home data on your local machine. It also allows for central deployment, monitoring, archiving, restoration and updating the username and team data via the network to ssh-accessible machines. Origami supports cron-based scheduling, 32bit or 64bit and network proxy settings. Install Stanfords Folding @ Home client to a single machine or network of machines. COMMAND-LINE ACTIONS The first argument which does not begin with a hyphen ("-") is considered to be an action that the program should perform. If an action is not specified Origami will display the help output. The following actions are available to the local machine: install Install Folding @ Home to the local machine. This action will create a dedicated user, storage location for Folding @ Home data, startup script and request a work unit. deploy Install Folding @ Home to remote machines as listed in the ~/.origamirc file. This action will create a dedicated user, storage location for Folding @ Home data, startup script and request a work unit on the remote machine. SSH access as the root user is required for the deploy action. archive Archive Folding @ Home data for the local Folding @ Home client. This action will stop the Folding @ Home client, archive the current progress into a <hostname>-<date>.tar.bz2 format and store the data in ~/.origami/. network-archive Archive Folding @ Home data on the remote Folding @ Home client as listed in the ~/.origamirc. This action will stop the Folding @ Home client, archive the current progress into a <hostname>-<date>.tar.bz2 format and store the data in ~/.origami/. restore Restore Folding @ Home data on the local machine. This action will require previously archived data (as generated by the archive action). network-restore Restore Folding @ Home data on the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. This action will require previously archived data (as generated by the network-archive action). erase Erase current Folding @ Home installation. Anything generated by the install function will be removed and all Folding @ Home progress will be lost. name Update the username and team information for the local Folding @ Home client. It is generally preferred to define username and team at installation with the install action. network-name Update the username and team information for the remote Folding @ Home clients. It is generally preferred to define username and team at installation with the deploy action. status|monitor Display the current progress of the local Folding @ Home client. network-status|network-monitor Disploy the current progress of the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. proxy Update the proxy settings for the local Folding @ Home client.
