The utils/unsw directory contains various utility programs (in the form of Perl scripts) that are useful for system administration. These scripts are referred to in some of the installation instructions on this CD-ROM. You probably don’t need them unless you are a system administrator or just plain curious!
To use these Perl scripts, simply copy the files in the utils/unsw/src
directory to any directory on your path, such as /usr/local/bin. You can do that by typing something
similar to the following as the root administrator at the shell
prompt:
# | cd /mnt/cdrom/utils/unsw/src |
# | for q in *; do cp -p $q /usr/local/bin; chmod u+w /usr/local/bin/$q; done |
Please note that these instructions assume that you have already mounted this CD-ROM on your computer, and that the mount point is /mnt/cdrom; see the instructions for mounting the CD-ROM for more details.
You should look at the actual source code for information on what the
scripts actually do and how to use them. Try typing something like
“less /usr/local/bin/insync”, for example (once
insync
has been copied to /usr/local/bin, of course!). These scripts have been
verified to work under Linux (and any other Unix-like operating system
with Perl) and under the Cygwin Unix
Emulator for Microsoft Windows.
