My notes of things I noticed while slaving over abs.
--Ted
)crmpool doesn't report an error if pool not created
)can't always abbreviate switches to unique prefixes (crmpool only
tested so far)
)make addroute only require -dest, -service. Other options, if not
given, default to everything (so that, for example, we can
easily specify "addroute -dest ops -service mail -sev fatal"
and get all fatal errors e-mailed - note this requires that
the pool name stored for the route be a magic tag that means to
match all pools).
If the result of the above example change is that the route table
stores only one entry, then assign tags (arbitrary #'s
generated by the master is fine) to each route and only
support deletion by tag (reason: otherwise deletion could
become a poorly defined operation).
If the result is that multiple route entries are created for that
example, then delroute should allow the same switches to be
optional, and, unless given the equivalent of '-y' option,
confirm deletion of each route before the act.
)deleteroute command documented as 'delroute'. delroute is more
consistent.
)The slave's logging puts the '\n' at the beginning of a line, at the
end is more conventional and thus less annoying.
)I can't get "managejob" to return anything besides
"Invalid parameter specification", though perhaps this was
because the only jobs listed by showjobs at the time was
allocated to the slave that had already coredumped.
