sus-tools-demo with correct filenames

Polzin — Fri, 30 Aug 2002 15:23:50 -0000

The commands in sus-tools-demo do not give the correct
filenames.
Perhaps again differenciate between an ONLINE run and a
BATCHED run of sus-tools-demo for ./demo2tex.

verbosity of tools

Polzin — Mon, 19 Aug 2002 11:37:35 -0000

Overall I find the default behaviour of the tools to
"quiet". There
are a lot of things done, and without -v you see
nothing. You
can use the ~/.labrc to turn on verbosity, but the
default is
not so good.

I would suggest (an additional switch :-)):
-q --quiet for silent behaviour (similar to the
current default)
-v --verbose for more detailed output

labrerun: restart something different

Polzin — Wed, 14 Aug 2002 10:34:09 -0000

I would like to be able to "restart" an experiement
with
little changes. I would like labrerun to extract a
command line file, then I would call an editor,
then labrun is stated.

Perhaps a workaround would be an additional script
(or a switch of labrerun) which does this. Then
one stay with the current "print".

process ID

Polzin — Wed, 14 Aug 2002 09:11:12 -0000

It would be nice, if one could figure out the PID of a
running experiment (labrun with --batch), in case one
wants to kill the program.
Perhaps a PID of the labrun process could be enough.
But
I am not sure whether killing the labrun is enough to
kill
the process.
Figuring out the PID of the experiment could be
difficult,
if not impossible (labrun labmex runsave.py ...).
But anyway, it should be easy to guess the right PID
of the experiment from the PID of the labrun.

CTRL-C in labrun should remove files

Polzin — Tue, 06 Aug 2002 11:17:19 -0000

Sometimes I start a wrong "labrun" command by mistake.
Usually I notice it quite soon. If I press CTRL-C, the
process is stopped, but the "garbage" .log/.out/.err
files are still there.
(Problem: Sometimes this could be the desired
behaviour.)

automatic testbed

Polzin — Tue, 06 Aug 2002 09:17:59 -0000

extend create-tutorial and sus-tools-demo to
an automatic testbed

add a CHANGES file

Polzin — Mon, 05 Aug 2002 16:11:40 -0000

To document briefly what has changed

"wynot" (worked yesterday, not today)

Polzin — Thu, 01 Aug 2002 13:36:21 -0000

tobias has a script that does basically the following:
you can enter a command
the program finds the first point in time in your CVS
the command gives an errorlevel
(e.g. compile my program and check if there is an
segmentation fault...)

this could be adopted to labrun...

More Examples for Python and Regexp

Polzin — Thu, 01 Aug 2002 12:18:16 -0000

Ernst's questions showed me: There should be more
examples on Regexp and Python sytax (split,join,
iff...)
