The command procedure BUILD.COM builds the package The command procedure ADJUST.COM is invoked to start up the utility. We start it up at boot time from SYSTARTUP.COM. A further description as well as the algorithm are included in ADJUST.DOC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************* * E V E R Y B O O T * ********************* At our site, our users have a need for various things to be done on reboot (such as defining group logicals). As we're not (yet) staffed 24 hours a day, if a machine crashes in the middle of the night and reboots, we'd have a bit of a problem. On the other hand, to insure system security, we don't want users to be able to write unrestricted to systartup. This program then runs whatever file they wish run on reboot with only their privs. In fact, if an error occurs in their file or their file mysteriously disappears, this will in no way affect the rest of the reboot. Futher instructions regarding installation are in the beginning of EVERYBOOT.FOR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************** * L O G G E R * *************** Logger is a program that logs shutdowns, startups, crashes and reasons for crashes to a file. It is a rework of the original program written by someone else in the C language. These programs produce a useful monthly uptime report: NODE=VAXA UPTIME SUMMARY FOR MONTH OF SEP Out of an available 43200 minutes, (30 days) The machine was down for 1488 minutes (or 1 days, 0 hours, and 48 minutes) Business hours are from 8:00am to 6:00pm 277 minutes were during business hours or 0 days, 4 hours and 37 minutes real time or 0 days, 4 hours and 37 business time 2 Crashes occurred 9 Orderly shutdowns were performed 2 of the shutdowns were during business hours 1 of the crashes were during business hours Percent uptime was 96.56% Average elapse time to reboot on crashes was 97 minutes Average elapse time to reboot on shutdown was 143 minutes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ******************* * P I C T U R E S * ******************* Straddling quite a number of large networks, we tend to come across a great many interesting pictures. These files should be typed to your screen and are all compatible with vt220s at the very least. Half were created in-house. Others, well... what comes around, goes around. Wherever possible, we have left the authors name attached. A great deal of work often goes into these. I therefore apologize beforehand if it appears that we plagarized someone elses handycraft. That was not our intention.

A way to retrieve files you "accidentally" blew away. This utility is not guaranteed to work in any way (but it does!) It is highly dependant on the amount of IOs to the target disk. If the disk happens to be quite busy eg a system disk, your file has probably already been allocated to someone else. Essentially it recreates your file from info in the FIB.
