For any interested parties that are not aware of it, the NetConfig Load command loads the NetConfig file into the interpreter and makes available a bunch of VERY handy commands for messing around with it. Do an “info commands net*”. If you have not done this before, you will find out that all that parsing of the NetConfig that you have been wanting to do has already been done. As Rey Currie points out in more than one post, use this at your own risk because the functionality is subject to change.
On that same note, there are some very interesting things available out in the $HCIROOT/tcl/lib/ directory structure, check them out. There is a BounceSite that works great and many other neat little toys. I will warn you, though, that “out of the box” some of them do not work. This is because the #! line in the perl scripts in $HCIROOT/bin have a space after the word perl. You will get an error saying “Can’t find ‘perl ‘” when you try to run them. Carefully going through those perl scripts and taking out that space will make them work. PLEASE MAKE BACKUP COPIES BEFORE YOU DO THIS!!!!
Now a couple of rants for good measure.
1. Why in the world is there a space after that perl command?
2. Why does the release code have lines in it containing the following?
/work2/jerickso/quovadx_dev/qdx5.3P/integrator
I feel somewhat bad in that I don’t even know how jerickso is but I find myself not being particularly fond of this person…lol.
Well, back to work…have a good day all!
