It only happens one time that when chain.currchain is black, move state the from the chain.chain to chain.currchain.
The last part, I said if chain.currchain is black, set the chain.currchain from chain.currstate.

I just want to make sure I understood properly. So each nextdestiny takes what is in chain.currchain and puts it in chain.currstate, and the node runs that. At the same time, it will take the next thing it is supposed to do (chain.currchain) out of chain.chain. At last if found the chain.currchain is black, make the chain.currchain has same state with chain.currstate Kind of confused on that last part. Are you saying that if chain.chain has no further entries to fill chain.currchain with, then chain.currchain will become whatever is in chain.currstate?

When doing a nodeset node rumcmd=something, I would expect it to change chain.chain to runcmd=something, keep chain.currstate and chain.currchain to whatever it's currently doing, and when on reboot it would see that chain.chain is now runcmd=something and execute it, and update chain.currchain and chain.currstate when it begins execution. Instead, it sets chain.currstate to whatever I put in nodeset, and chain.chain and currchain are never touched. I've read the man pages and whatever I could find on sourceforge about the chain table, but confusion still abounds. Is there any other documentation out there regarding the chain table, or could somebody perhaps clarify a bit more on what each piece of chain table represents and how they fit in to the rest of the xcat system?
