Hi everybody, we have planned to introduce queue for offline machine in symbolic. Following this direction it's easy to implement because we have a database where we could store information. If this is a feature that everybody need (i think yes) we could move our implementation on func layer. At the moment I don't have an idea to solve queueing for offline machine. What we surely need is a place to remember operations you have tried to run! We can suggest a complete integration with symbolic that also has an xmlrpc server and database; so from cli or inside python script you could call it to queue your operation, but maybe is not the best solution. We will think to this.

This could be the beginings of "RRS" (remote rocket surgery) built on Cobbler+Func. (See also recent Cobbler integration). We just need a way to address offline nodes, basically. --Michael _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
