Hi All, I am pretty new to unix type languages. At work we have a server room with about 50 windows computers in one system and 50 in a unix system. We sometimes have power outages and I don't like the power slam. I wrote a windows batch file using sysinternals help to shutdown the windows computers. I am trying to write one for the unix servers. I started by using vi editor. I remember a little from school. Anyhoo, I start from one of the computers (I use ACC36 because that is where my KVM is. all are names ACC###)ACC36 and
to get to ACC30. Then my next line is
this is the shutdown command.
My next command is to get back to ACC36 before the shutdown is
Well, that works, but when I repeat the commands in the script for the other ACC's, it never goes past the first return to ACC36. After I write and save it with :wq , I then
Then to execute I go
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
I need a shell script for OS X, one that can find IP addresses of machines connected to my LAN, get the names of the computer associated with those addresses, then display them like so in a list: "Bob's L33T Boxx: #.#.#.#" Something like the network scanner in Apple Remote Desktop is what I'm...

Hi

i really dont know any other way to put it besides that Ubuntu 8.04, that i just installed on my computer hangs when it shuts down. the bar depletes the orange like it should, but it never actually shuts down.
anyone know whats going on? (3 Replies)
Hello all.
I have built a cluster of 9 Macs for computational chemistry and I need a shell script that I can use from one computer to all the rest to shutdown.
I have modified all of the Macs so that there is pass-wordless ssh. As well, I have modified each "visudo" file on each machine by... (1 Reply)

XPAMethod - XPA Communication Methods
SYNOPSIS
XPA supports both inet and unix (local) socket communication.
DESCRIPTION
XPA uses sockets for communication between processes. It supports three methods of socket communication: inet, localhost, and unix. In gen-
eral, the same method should be employed for all XPA processes in a session and the global environment variable XPA_METHOD should be used
to set up the desired method. By default, the preferred method is "inet", which is appropriate for most users. You can set up a different
method by typing something like:
setenv XPA_METHOD local # unix csh
XPA_METHOD=local; export XPA_METHOD # unix sh, bash, windows/cygwin
set XPA_METHOD=localhost # dos/windows
The options for XPA_METHOD are: inet, unix (or local), and localhost. On Unix machines, this environment setup command can be placed in
your shell init file (.cshrc, .profile, .bashrc, etc.) On Windows platforms, it can be placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (I think!).
By default, inet sockets are used by XPA. These are the standard Internet sockets that are used by programs such as Netscape, ftp. etc.
Inet sockets utilize the IP address of the given machine and a (usually random) port number to communicate between processes on the same
machine or between different machines on the Internet. (Note that XPA has an Access Control mechanism to prevent unauthorized access of XPA
access points by other computers on the Net). For users connected to the Internet, this usually is the appropriate communication method.
For more information about setting up XPA communication between machines, see Communication Between Machines.
In you are using XPA on a machine without an Internet connection, then inet sockets are not appropriate. In fact, an XPA process often will
hang for many seconds while waiting for a response from the Domain Name Service (DNS) when using inet sockets. Instead of inet sockets,
users on Unix platforms can also use unix sockets (also known as local sockets). These sockets are based on the local file system and do
not make use of the DNS. They generally are considered to be faster than inet sockets, but they are not implemented under Windows. Use
local sockets as a first resort if you are on a Unix machine that is not connected to the Internet.
Users not connected to the Internet also can use localhost sockets. These are also inet-type sockets but the IP address used for the local
machine is the localhost address, 0x7F000001, instead of the real IP of the machine. Depending on how sockets are set up for a given plat-
form, communication with the DNS usually is not required in this case (though of course, XPA cannot interact with other machines). The
localhost method will generally work on both Unix and Windows platforms, but whether the DNS is required or not is subject to individual
configurations.
A final warning/reminder: if your XPA-enabled server hangs at startup time and your XPA_METHOD is inet, the problem probably is related to
an incorrect Internet configuration. This can be confirmed by using the unix method or (usually) the localhost method. You can use these
alternate methods if other hosts do not need access to the XPA server.
