8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY
- Looks like the PPM new features meeting will be here Tuesday or Wednesday of next week at 11:00
- PPM DB still growing and being used. After importing the data for Masha, no activity. Hmmm.
- Let’s see if I can get the Cygwin telnet functioning…
- Yes, after flailing until 2:00. In the end, I deleted the current install and pulled the version from the gatech ftp mirror. I think that the version at vatech may be corrupted.
- Starting with the java user/telnet manager. I think it will need to do the following:
- Create/Delete users. Note that this will have to be OS-specific. In addition, in the case of cygwin on Windows, the user account will have to be added within cygwin as well by running mkpasswd as admin before the user can be logged in through telnet
- Open a telnet channel on 127.0.0.1. Commands and responses go through this channel. For example “javac foo.java” is the command and error messages from the compiler are the responses.
- Copy files from the client to the appropriate directory on the server (and with the correct permissions). This may require a pwd command to be run to determine where the user is. Or we do this all graphically (preferred), and keep track on the client
- Spent some time pondering how apps might deploy using dynamically created virtual servers. Looks surprisingly straightforward?
