Hi Philip, Some curious behavior about Hackystat command-line installer.(Note that I've had to modify your suggested script to integrated it into our data collection setup). Here's an example. I have hackyInstaller.jar in ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar. If I try to use that one, I get a complaint about versions (although everything works fine otherwise). However, if I have the jarfile in my home directory, no complaint. To wit: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ java -jar ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar -SetPath .EMACS_FILE_DIR $HOME Rhino classes (js.jar) not found - Javascript disabled WARNING: HackyInstaller is out of date. New version 6.7.909 available. The .EMACS_FILE_DIR path has been saved. Success (Complains about installer being out of date. Copying the file to home directory and trying again) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cp ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar . [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ java -jar ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar -SetPath .EMACS_FILE_DIR $HOME Rhino classes (js.jar) not found - Javascript disabled The .EMACS_FILE_DIR path has been saved. Success (no version complaint this time. Confirm they are the same file) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ diff hackyInstaller.jar ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ (Files are identical. Remove the home directory file and reproduce the problem) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rm hackyInstaller.jar [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ java -jar ~collect/umdinst/setup/hackyInstaller.jar -SetPath .EMACS_FILE_DIR $HOME Rhino classes (js.jar) not found - Javascript disabled WARNING: HackyInstaller is out of date. New version 6.7.909 available. The .EMACS_FILE_DIR path has been saved. Success Do you know why this would be happening?
Hmm. Not offhand. One question: does ~lorin/.hackystat/sensor.properties reference a hackystat host that is different from the hackystat host referenced by ~/collect/.hackystat/sensor.properties? That might help diagnose the bug, although there's no reason why the presence of hackyInstaller.jar in one's current directory should influence the execution of a jar file located elsewhere...
I've posted this as: <http://hackydev.ics.hawaii.edu:8080/browse/HACK-342> Julie and Austen will get on it right away. :-)
Also, is there a way for me to query hackyInstaller to check the version?
The 6.8 daily builds will now print out the hackyInstaller version number when you do 'java -jar hackyInstaller.jar -Help
There is also a more detailed '-Status' command in the works for the next stable release.
(Is there a point of contact other than you I should use for Hackystat installer
issues?)
Thanks, Lorin
Feel free to email the two HackyInstaller Wizards, Julie Sakuda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Austen Ito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who are the ones who will actually be fixing the bugs. However, please continue to keep me in the emails so I can keep up with what's going on and post Jira issues as necessary.
Cheers, Philip
