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
