[9fans] Go tool capabilities (Was: going too far?)

2013-02-20 Thread lucio
This is correct. The go tool supports files with an extension matching (go|[chsS]|swig(cxx)?|syso). Sorry to hi-jack the thread here, does the go tool invoke the native host compiler or the Plan 9-like one for .c files? I guess the same question applies for .[sS] extensions? ++L

How does one reboot remotely (from drawterm)? I see that /srv/fscons is chmod 600 and owned by bootes. What is the standard way to do this? by cpuing in as bootes. from drawterm it is legal to cpu -h $cpuserver -u bootes. if you have more than a trivial number of machines, a serial console

* denotes that the key is for the kernel and will not show up in the enviroment. sometimes, theres a difference between a key having the value 0 and a key not being present. often, the kernel will just check for the presence of a key and ignore its value. but this is not the case for *nomp :) --
