harmony.tar.gz

Version: 1.4
This perl script sets up the extra environment variables required
by harmony (harmony bin dir & harmony_home) before calling both
the appropriate xrdb command and the appropriate harmony binary
for the platform.

Version: 1.6
In order to make harmony available to as wider audience as possible
and without requiring staff and students to change their environment
to accommodate I create this command which sits in the /usr/local/bin
directory of each platform which both sets up the required
environment and provides access to all the Hyper-G commands. The
perl script acts in the following way.
It first sets up a suitable environment (cpu, path, manpath).
If there are no arguments it provides a menu of the most commonly
used Hyper-G commands. (presently these are hgtv, harmony, hginsrht
- see below, hginstext, hginfo, man, hginscoll, hgmvcp). A user
can select a menu option and add what ever arguments they wish for
that command which is then executed.
If there is an argument and the arg1 is not a number then the
arguments are taken to be a command and just executed in the new
environment what ever they are. eg "hg ls" would list the current
directory, "hg hgtv -r hyperg.tu-graz.ac.at" would correctly start
the text viewer if a user had none of the extras required by
Hyper-G in their environment.
If the first argument is a number it is interpreted as a menu
option allowing a bit of short hand. eg "hg 2" to start harmony.

As we are no managing a large number of accounts it was
important quite early on to write a perl script that would add
or remove a file of user names as hyper-G accounts. The command
works like this
hgaccount -a -f file_of_names -g group_name -H hostlist
where -a means add (-r remove), -g (optional) gives them all
the same group membership and -H (optional) is a list of hosts
the users are each allowed to be autoidentified from.
In addition to this it is also important to be able to update
all the Hyper-G passwords to match our unix passwords wherever
possible. This can be done by hgaccount -u (for update).

A simple utility that given a collection will change all
occurances of a given attribute with value X to value Y for all
the documents in that collection eg
for instance:
hgchattribs -c homepages_paul -o "Author=paul" "Author=bruce-b"
hgchname.tar.gz

Version: 1.1
While I was standardising the group and account name structure
it was necessary on several occasions to change the individual
account names (mainly to match existing unix account names for
password resolution but also where accounts terminated and I
wanted to pass the ownership of all documents to a new owner).
The command would change all occurances of an author to another
name. eg (-o old, -n new)
hgchname -o paul -n bruce

This command provided the menu of hyper-g options mentioned
above for the "hg" command. You only want to have one copy
of the menu so it is easily changed. The hg command above
is placed in the /usr/local/bin of each Hyper-G participating
host.

Given a start collection generate a recursive list of all of
its children stopping if you have seen a child before or if
there are no more children. Used mainly to change access
rights on a whole collection heirarchy. I usually use it in
conjunction with hgchattribs

In order to provide the same editors across all the platforms
commands like this are used to handle the variances of binary
locations between platforms and variations between the location
and versions of XWindows software.

Version: 2.8
Script that given a file, collection and a title will insert the
file into Hyper-G. It automatically identifies test, htf or rtf
files and handles them each accordingly. The script recognises
paragraphs lists and titles and assigns appropriate HTF tags.
It does a neat job and is used as the basis for automatically
inserting email sent to hyper-G.

This is for a generic document type for the text viewer. It
executes a perl script but has to first spawn a xterm for the output
since there seems no way of capturing the Hyper-G hgtv window
for output. This of course means that generic docs don't work
over telnet even if the perl script output is simple ascii.

hierarchy from a Hyper-G server (and maybe upload it to
another Hyper-G server).

logtime.tar.gz

Version: 1.0
This is used to convert times recorded in log files as hex strings
of seconds since Jan 71 to readable local time. Log file times
are normally recorded for compactness by displaying output of the
perl "time" command as a hex string eg.
printf( LOG "%-10lx\n", time );
The logtime command takes this 8 character string and displays
this as a local time in the format: h:mm:ss d/m/y. If no
argument is passed the current local time is displayed.
