Scripts

Scripts

The directory /spider/scripts is a place for scripts to be placed. The main script in this directory is called startup that can be used to make changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible. The other two files are startup.issue, which is a minimal file to use to build a startup and user_default.issue
