Scenario: I wrote a shell script called ``jo'' which outputs information,
sleeps for 10 seconds, and keeps looping. I redirected stderr
and stdout to a file named ``jo.out'' in my home directory.
My home directory is in AFS (3.3). We have 4 AFS file servers
and one database server, all with NTP running.
Question: Why is it that on any machine other than the one I started the
process on, the file size is 0 still and the modification time
is the time when I started ``jo'', BUT the file size and
file modification are being updated properly as ``jo'' runs
on the machine I started ``jo'' from?
tomthumb% ls -l jo.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 jblaine 0 Jan 3 11:24 jo.out
gargoyle% ls -l jo.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 jblaine 0 Jan 3 11:24 jo.out
dinky% ls -l jo.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 jblaine 5280873 Jan 4 10:32 jo.out
[ dinky is where jo was started and is still running ]
[ All machines listed above are AFS clients ]
What's the deal with my cache manager / file servers? The file should
be written out to the file server every 10 seconds.
#!/bin/csh -f
#
# Yeah, I know, C-Shell programming considered harmful, etc etc.
#
# Ran as: ./jo 2>&1 > jo.out &
#
# Shell it was run from is Z-Shell 2.6something
while (1)
date
pstat -T | tail -1
ps -auxwww | grep jlsmith
echo ""
sleep 10
end
# end of jo
