RE: [hobbit] clientupdate help

["Jones, Jason \(Altrincham\)" <JasonAS_Jones (at) mentor.com>]

The plot thickens, I can now do a clientupdate...sort of, for some
damnable reason it puts itself under
/usr/local/hobbit/client/hobbit/client/ (the repeated hobbit/client is
not a mistake) any ideas why it would do this?? Running tar xvf on the
files on the server creates the directories in the same directory as the
tar (i.e. no hobbit/client) so why is it doing it on the client side? Do
I need to alter BBHOME somehow?

 

Thanks,

Jason.

Hi All,

 

Have been working with clientupdate to get our server's RE-IP to go
smoothly but am having problems, I put the tar files into ~/download and
alter client-local.cfg to do:

 

[Foo.bar] 

            ClientID=server_move

 

The file under ~/download is call server_move.tar and has 777
permissions

 

The problem is it isn't working and I can't see a reason why, when on
foo.bar itself I run:

 

~/bin/clientupdate -update=server_move

 

And get the output:

 

tar: blocksize = 0

 

even adding .tar to the end of the -update does nothing, is there any
other way I can see what is happening and why it is going wrong?

 

Thanks,

Jason.
