problem/solutions report for hobbit client on HP-UX 10.20

["T.J. Yang" <tj_yang (at) hotmail.com>]

Looks like hp-ux 10.20 is not tested yet. I am trying to prepare hobbit 
client for 10.20 and run into following issues
1.  "-lnsl", should be taken out in makefile when compiling for 10.20  
because 10.20 has no nsl library.(not my credit, others helped me).

2. lanscan -p doesn't work on 10.20

echo "[ifstat]"
/usr/sbin/lanscan -p | while read PPA; do /usr/sbin/lanadmin -g mibstats 
$PPA; done

no solution yet.

3. swapinfo default mode is 544(at least in my 10.20 boxes).

echo "[swapinfo]"
/usr/sbin/swapinfo -tm

bash-2.05a$ ls -l /usr/sbin/swapinfo
-r-xr--r--   1 bin        bin          16384 Jun 10  1996 /usr/sbin/swapinfo
bash-2.05a$

I am planning to change mode from 544 to 555 to resolve the issue.


3. hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh, like vmstat, top should (IMHO) store tmp files in 
$BBTMP not $BBHOME/tmp.

then
   if test -x "$TOP"
   then
       echo "[top]"
       # Cits Bogajewski 03-08-2005: redirect of top fails
       $TOP -d 1 -f $BBTMP/top.OUT
       cat $BBTMP/top.OUT
       rm $BBTMP/top.OUT
   fi
fi

# vmstat
nohup sh -c "vmstat 300 2 1>$BBTMP/hobbit_vmstat.$MACHINEDOTS.$$ 2>&1; mv 
$BBTMP
/hobbit_vmstat.$MACHINEDOTS.$$ $BBTMP/hobbit_vmstat.$MACHINEDOTS" </dev/null 
>/d
ev/null 2>&1 &
