Script: update_machine update_file
We use this simple script (no error checking as usual) to update our machine configuration.
We keep the configuration files in cvs and download them to a new machine.
Script: iptohex
No error checking, just a simple time saver. Converts an ipaddress into hexadecimal suitable for use by tftp tools and pxe booting. The builtin command gethostip does this also, I include the script incase someone finds it useful.
Example:
uphill@surrey[1]:
iptohex 10.168.192.134 0AA8C086

make -C /path/to/Makefile clean

His father was Norman H. Uphill, he was a Union Executive for the Pipefitters and Steamfitters Union Local 170. His Union duties came to him naturally also...
