Migration to FNALU

Mail

A way to organize your e-mail addresses.

smartman@fnal.gov - E-mail address that I give to everybody
smartman@fsgi02.fnal.gov - Forward I setup on fnal.fnal.gov . To set it up just telnet to fnal.fnal.gov, a little menu will ask you for a forward address.
smartman@fnal.gov - Forward I setup on the rest of the computers in the world including fn781a. For UNIX just create a file .forward with smartman@fnal.gov inside.
\smartman@fsgi02.fnal.gov - Forward I setup on FNALU. (Again it's inside .forward file) This forward will garantee you that mail send to any machine on FNALU cluster (fibi01, fdei01, etc...) will be received on fsgi02.fnal.gov. Don't forget to include leading "backslash" to prevent infinite looping of e-mail.

Frequently asked questions.

Q. I run into problem, whom should I ask?
A.
1. If this is a problem in E781 products (off781, e781mc, ocs781, con781 etc..) then contact Mike Procario procario@fnal.gov or me kushnir@fnal.gov
2. If this is a problem in FNALU product (PAW, cernlib, etc...) contact helpdesk@fnalu.fnal.gov
3. If you are sure that you need help from system administrator (You need to change your login shell from tcsh to bash for example) contact fnalu-admin@fibi01.fnal.gov . If you are not sure contact helpdesk first.
Q. There are many machnies on FNALU fibi01, fsgi02, which one I shoud use?
A. Use fsgi02 (IRIX 5). Don't login to "fnalu" -it's fibi01 (AIX) Things are well maintained on IRIX 5, but we are working on setting up up products under OSF1 as well.
Q. Nothing is working for me on FNALU. I cannot setup off781 or e781mc.
A. You have problem in your startup files .profile and .bashrc. Copy your favorite .bashrc from fn781a to FNALU, but don't forget to include e781 group script in your .bashrc
```
if [ -e /afs/fnal/files/home/room2/e781/etc/e781rc.sh ]
then
  . /afs/fnal/files/home/room2/e781/etc/e781rc.sh
fi
```
Also you could copy someones .profile and .bashrc on FNALU to your area. It's a wise idea to save .profile and .bashrc you have, before you start this manipulations. You might also look into examples of .bashrc and .profile .
Q. Still doesn't work...
A. Check that you have "bash" as a shell.
```
 printenv SHELL 
```
If you don't have "bash", and would like to have it (I would recommend) send a message to system administrator fnalu-admin@fibi01.fnal.gov to change your login shell to bash. Don't forget to include your username on FNALU in the message.
Q. I cannot write file in my own direcotry!? What's going on...
A. Your AFS token has expired. You cannot hold the opened window on FNALU longer thatn for 24 hours. If you need stay longer than 24 hours type klog to continue the session.
Q. gmake is not working... (gmake: command not found)
A. run "setup gtools"
Q. Many commands I used to on fn781a, doesn't work here anymore.
A. Yes that's because of AFS (Andrew File system). It has it's special commands, here are some of those:
- kpasswd - to change password.
- fs lq - list quota

Printing

The standard Fermilab printing commands work on FNALU, but you need to use the standard form using -q and -h instead of the -P form. The command to print postscript files in the Schoolhouse is


 flpr -q p781a_ps -h fn781a name.ps

and the command is print ASCII text is 


 flpr -q p781a -h fn781a name.ps
