Controller

I found the best RAID page yet. I'm back to RAID for my new project which involves automating tests somehow, for Controller Firmware. I also have to study CM Synergy, a Config Mgmt tool.

ssh -n

After y'day's fiasco, today was a rewarding day. I made a test framework in April (just a month :-), tho' testing n' debugging took another month, 'cuz there were 100+ bugs. Its been two months since then.. n' y'day I was called to deploy it in the biggest project ($1m) in the RnD services part of my company. Its working perfectly, i.e. ZERO bugs!

I encountered a major problem tho', 'cuz SSH commands were causing the shellscript (thats what the framework is, a 700-line one at that!!) to exit! I broke my head for 24 hours since then till now, to discover the '-n' switch! Only the Solaris rsh page told me what "avoids unfortunate interactions between rsh and the shell which invokes it". I tried it for ssh and thankfully, it worked!!
