Hello,

I would like to enforce some rules for the naming of oscar hostnames and
commands.

For the moment, there are several conventions. For instance, for
hostname, there is :
oscar_server nfs_oscar and pbs_oscar

I think that the idea to specify the oscar name before is interesting
and therefore have the
oscar_server
oscar_nfs (instead of nfs_oscar)
oscar_pbs (instead of pbs_oscar)

Is everyone OK with the idea ? This will allow us to have similar
convention for the CLI provided by OSCAR.

Well, the question is asked because we are currently adding oscar_ldap
(or ldap_oscar ;-) and so this question arise "naturaly".

For the oscar tools and commands, the same kind of logic should be used.
Because of tab completion, I think that the "oscar" part should come
first. However, being a lazy sysadmin, oscar is maybe too long. What
about prefixing all oscar defined commandas by "o_".

For instance "opd" -> "o_package_downloader"
"install_cluster" - > "o_install_cluster"
...

This approach is coherent with the hostname convention (while shorter
;-)) and allow an admin to quickly find the oscar related commands by
typing "o_" + <tab> (for bash, can differ in other shell).
