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
startup
- lines starting with a # are ignored
- set maximum no of spots allowed to 100
set/var $Spot::maxspots = 100
- reject node adverts
rej/ann node_default input info telnet,cluster,7000,7300,7373,8000,8888,9000,17300
- reject D0 and D1 prefixes which aren't on the ITU list
rej/spot node_default input 2 call d0,d1 rej/spot node_default input 3 by d0,d1
- set outbound spider connections with nodes you've paired with
set/spider g1abc-2 set/spider gb7abc-1
- make instant connections to nodes
connect g1abc-2 connect gb7abc-1
- make people register before they can send spots
- 1 is on, 0 is off
set/var $main::reqreg = 1
- make people use a password to login
- 1 is on, 0 is off
set/var $main::passwdreq = 0
- set the node's external dynamic IP
set/external_ip
- set the node and logging pc IPv4s
- gather ip address from your network and add them at the end using ,'192.168.1.144' for example
set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.123','192.168.1.134')
