The lock I coded is using a moodle-specific bit of code, so it's in PHP, using moodle internal calls, and it uses PostgreSQL's atomicity to achieve it in a non-racey way. This has the advantage of locking a smaller bit of code -- not the whole 'cron' run. BTW, the lock script you're using is a bit racey (things could definitely happen after the if [ -f $LOCK ]). If you want to do this safely in shell scripting, using dotlockfile which is widely available, even in oldish Linuxes. Recent Linuxes all include /usr/bin/flock which is also sanely atomic, so that's what we use on the XS for this task... cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

This led to errors that should be benign (an error reported in the logs, but not leading to a functional problem) -- because ejabberd's internals are all about supporting things that happen concurrently. But! something inside ejabberd isn't liking the concurrency. I've added a big lock around the process, so from now on Moodle processes won't overlap in this sync. This means that your server is now running a lightly patched Moodle -- I will release this as a new rpm soon.

Yes, guest access is a possible approach. But truly global resources are in their "right place" at the site course... and that is supported by ancillary mechanisms within Moodle (ie: glossary autolinking ;-) ) > On the B4s below, well I have two C1s and 2 B4s and they were all updated > with exactly the same flashdrive (build 802 and same activity bundle).

Check that... - the XO does not list 'register' in the menu - the XS lists the XO when you run /home/idmgr/list_registrations - in Moodle, the 'course admin' user can see the relevant user account under admin -> users -> browse To be frank, I initially doubt it's a hw/sw problem because the authentication depends on Browse.xo reading serial number / uuid of the machine. If the sn/uuid are not readable (due to bad hardware, or bad OFW), then the registration would fail as well. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] Admin User
Martin, If the admin XO becomes unavailable or needs to be reflashed how does one access the Moodle admin and make a new XO (or the original one reflashed) the admin one?
