A new version of the HEPiX shell scripts has been released at
the beginning of December which contains a fix to make the scripts
Y2K compliant. This release (version 3.4) contains both the HEP and
CERN parts of the scripts. In addition to the necessary Y2K fix to
the "ticket lifetime reporting program"
(tklife
), a few bug fixes were included (to
pp
on Linux and nroff
on
IRIX), as well as some new environment variables for use with the
CERN mail service and the new 'hsm'
archive
command:
MAIL, MAILBOX, MAILSERVER
and
MAILAUXSERVER
/usr/local/bin/mailreg
program whose output is used to
set variables used by the cern wrappers for
pine
, Netscape, etc: MAILSERV_USER, MAILSERV_NAME
and
MAILSERV_GEM
hsm
archive command the following
variables have been introduced: HPSS_HOME
and
HSM_HOME
In addition a change was made in the previous version (3.3) of the HEPiX shell scripts which only becomes visible on most platforms with this release, since circumstance resulted in the previous version only being released into production on Linux and left as optional on all other platforms. Namely, the logic which selects the group scripts was changed to only use the AFS group files if the user's home directory is in AFS.
