Advanced Unix tips

[Pace]

Guru has offered to write a guide but he needs help from the "Pro's" as he called you's! JJc? Martin? Anyone?

Just some tips for Unix and Linux would be appreciated - that ok with you Guru?

Maybe we should ask over here http://forums.murc.ws/cgi-bin/forumd...e=5&LastLogin=

I have a lite problem doing the guide alone as I don't have any comps to try the tweaks on! I have to talk to JJc tomorrow and try to convinse him to help me!

I have an x86 linux box, and 6 AIX RS/6000 servers I can use if you need some testing done.
Also I'm happy to provide hints and tips.

Well post any tips you have in here. Whether general system tips or 3rd party tips I'm sure they will all be welcome!

No hints or tips

Come on you MURCers (and mini-MURCers )

Not really a hint or a tip, this is however something handy for unix machines where you can't run setispy.
This little perlscript will report the progress of a work unit when run in the seti directory:

#!/usr/bin/perl
open(STATE, "state.sah") or die "Unable to open state.sah: $!\n";
@state = <STATE>;
close(STATE);
($cpuline) = grep /^cpu=/, @state;
($progline) = grep /^prog=/, @state;
($bob, $cpu) = split '=', $cpuline;
($bob, $progress) = split '=', $progline;
chomp($progress);
$progress *= 100; # Convert to %
print("Progress: $progress\%\n");
printf("Unit CPU time: %d:%02d:%02d.%03d\n", int($cpu) / 3600, int($cpu) % 3600 / 60, int($cpu) % 60, int($cpu * 1000) % 1000);

Hope someone besides me finds this handy (in fact this should work on any perl enabled system, not just unix).

EDIT: Oops my < and > fouled up :P
