Our install process involves updating the CVS versions of individual files on the staging and ultimately production servers. Web Operations is responsible for manually updating the files listed on an electronic install form.
After over ten years of this process, I finally realized that we could automate this process, at least for the staging server. A cron script polling a system mailbox every two minutes kicks off the process.
When I execute a CVS update command at work, I often get the following error:
[caran@mater safetypublic]$ cvs -q update -AdP
: No such file or directoryectory /home/cvs/safetypublic/rsvp
cvs update: skipping directory rsvp
No such directoryectory? What the heck is that??
Recently, I was asked by my employer to write an Apache module. The module reads the requestor’s digital certificate and checks it against our database of active users. In this post, I’ll explain how to get started writing Apache modules, especially for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5.2).
