Configuration - Run-Stages

This sub-directory contains files, each defining the programs to be run for a given run stage. [The order of the run stages is listed in the run config-file.] Each line contains to following fields, whitespace separated:

  • NAME - This gives this line a name, which will be used for error-messages and file-names. It's used instead of the program-name to enable multiple instances of a given program, primarily the collectors.
  • ASYNC - If this flag is set (1, y, yes or true), then run-remstats2 will not wait for it to complete before moving on the the next stage. This permits long-running programs, on which nothing depends, to run through several stages.
  • FREQUENCY - This is the minimum interval between runs. run-remstats2 will not run this line if it has been run within this time.
  • COMMAND - This is the command-line to run. It may be a pipeline. The command will be augmented by the addition of output redirection for stdout and stderr to @@TMPDIR@@/NAME.PID, where PID is the process-id of the instance of run-remstats2 which is running it.

Notes:

Any command can have the following ##MAGICCOOKIES##:
