At this writing, the homepage is periodically rebuilt
from user john's user crontab on
the infohost server. It must be
run on this server in order to have read-write access to
the /u/www/ filesystem.
To install a cron job to run this script periodically:
Login to infohost.
Display the old user crontab using this command:
crontab -l
Edit the user crontab using this command:
crontab -e
This brings up the user's editor of choice.
Make sure there is a line in the table with this format:
0 4 * * * (cd /u/www/docs/tcc;rm homepagelist.html;\
nice python homelist.py >homepagelist.html)
This runs the script every morning at 4am, niced down.
Here is the homelist.g file that
PyStyler uses to build the homelist.html page containing the list of
user homepages:
<head> <author>John Shipman, <tt>tcc-doc@nmt.edu</tt></author> <updated date="$Date: 2007/12/13 23:16:06 $"> </head> <p>Here is a list of TCC users who have put up Web homepages. It is sorted by login name; to find the login name for a person, see <r id="users">. <!--#include virtual="homepagelist.html"-->
This page uses a server-side include to insert the
file generated by the make
homelist target.
