Updating the FTP

The script responsible to update the public FTP is in the pinger machine on the following location:

/afs/slac/package/pinger/ftp-update.pl

To run this script you must use the following command:

$ /opt/TWWfsw/bin/perl /afs/slac/package/pinger/ftp-update.pl

You can SSH pinger machine with the following command:

ssh pinger@pinger

Output:

 

It represents how many files were missing during the update process.

Cron Job

The script runs every morning at 4AM. To modify the cron job you should edit the trscrontab:

$ trscrontab -e

and edit the following line:

lnxcron;480 00 4 * * * /opt/TWWfsw/bin/perl /afs/slac/package/pinger/ftp-update.pl

Log Files:

Log files with missing files can be found at:

$ /afs/slac/public/users/cottrell/pinger_log_files

Each .txt file contains the names of the files missing in the FTP.

The log files are generated automatically by ftp-update.pl everytime a file is missing in the pingerreports folder.

The files also can be generated by the following script:

$ /opt/TWWfsw/bin/perl /afs/slac/package/pinger/ftp-update-log.pl
