So I figured out it was the echo -e in my script making everything not work.
The get_hosts script has now been modified to just return the best server. alkisg in #ltsp and gadi from #ltsp helped me figure all of that out. Here is the current get_hosts script #!/bin/sh max_rank=-1 max_server='' for server in $MY_SERVER_LIST; do rank=$(nc $server 9571 | sed -n 's/rating://p') if [ "$rank" -gt "$max_rank" ]; then max_rank="$rank" max_server="$server" fi done echo "$max_server" grant wrote: > I am currently using ldminfod and going off of the rating it provides to > give the best server. > > Here is my output for each server I am using for testing. > > 10.0.0.36 > > language:en_US.UTF-8 > language:en_AU.UTF-8 > language:en_BW.UTF-8 > language:en_CA.UTF-8 > language:en_DK.UTF-8 > language:en_GB.UTF-8 > language:en_HK.UTF-8 > language:en_IE.UTF-8 > language:en_NZ.UTF-8 > language:en_PH.UTF-8 > language:en_SG.UTF-8 > language:en_ZA.UTF-8 > language:en_ZW.UTF-8 > session:/usr/bin/startkde > session-with-name:KDE:/usr/bin/startkde > xsession:/etc/X11/Xsession > rating:95 > > 10.0.0.46 > > language:en_US.UTF-8 > language:en_AU.UTF-8 > language:en_BW.UTF-8 > language:en_CA.UTF-8 > language:en_DK.UTF-8 > language:en_GB.UTF-8 > language:en_HK.UTF-8 > language:en_IE.UTF-8 > language:en_NZ.UTF-8 > language:en_PH.UTF-8 > language:en_SG.UTF-8 > language:en_ZA.UTF-8 > language:en_ZW.UTF-8 > session:/usr/bin/startkde > session-with-name:KDE:/usr/bin/startkde > xsession:/etc/X11/Xsession > rating:99 > > this still leaves me with no session choices other than default and the > failsafexterm > > Thanks. > > Grant > > CyberOrg wrote: > >> On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 9:45 PM, grant <gr...@ajrs.com> wrote: >> >> >>> I did just notice that when I have both of the servers defined in the >>> MY_SERVER_LIST and I go to select session on the ldm I am only given the >>> default and failsafe xterm.
