The OTL service on Holt
-
-
processes, programs, the "furniture" of the "/home/loading"
Holt home: /home/loading
Home pages: ~/www ->
/data1/loading/www/
Login: ssh -Y loading@holt.oso.chalmers.se
(ask me to add your
.ssh/<machine>/id_ecdsa.pub or obtain the
password)
Processing programs (Fortran 77) in ~/bin/ :
olfg - far-field loading effect
olcmc - Centre of Mass Correction
olmpp - near-field loading effect
Subroutine sources and library in ~/src/*.f* (liboload.a)
Main sources in ~/src/m/*.f
Data - tide models
~/tide-models/netCDF/<model>/amp.<tide> and
pha.<tide>
CMC data:
~/bin/CMC/<model>.cmc
http-service: Apache2
Mail service: Postfix
A blacklist of spamming senders has been tried, but was
too difficult to maintain (hands-on too much too often).
Mail address: loading@holt.oso.chalmers.se
OBS! These mails are not parsed
by Chalmers' central incoming mail server.
A security risk, our responsibility never formally
acknowledged.
(Owing to the strict format required for legal mails
to enter the processing chain, illegal ones are easily (too
easily?) identified.)
Service script: /cgi-bin/mailto.cgi
Processes the html form data, method submit (not
post).
Heavily edited to refuse sending illegal requests
to loading@holt.oso.chalmers.se
incl. finding sender addresses in
~/div/blacklist.addr
Copies the internally translated text to
/home/hgs/div/mailto.log
(The mail is made into one long
line and special characters are translated into a hex-format
- important to check from
time to time if discrimination good/bad mail is o.k.)
loading@holt.. receives mail in /var/mail/loading
Indefinitely running scripts:
~/bin/parsemail-slim.pl
~/bin/POL-the-manager
~/bin/queue.pl
To start them:
cd ~/bin
nohup parsemail-slim.pl >>
/home/loading/div/parsemail.log &
nohup nice POL-the-manager >>
/home/loading/div/POL.log &
nohup nice queue.pl &
Manually checking the status:
Copy ~/bin/POL to your own holt:/home/...
Browse http://holt.oso.chalmers.se/loading/queue.html
parsemail-slim.pl:
Moves /var/mail/loading content to ~/Mail/loading
Scans which mails request the high-resolution models
FES2012, FES2014a, TPXO8, TPXO9*, which are forwarded to SEGAL (or
Google Cloud) and removed from ~/Mail/loading
Mails that fail the parsing: Noted in
~/Mail/weedreport.txt
2021-02-23_11:36:59 - Letter
from 89231417922@yandex.ru is weed, blacklisted:
89231417922@yandex.ru
and the sender's mail address is added to
~/div/blacklist.addr
POL-the-manager:
Includes the functions of parsemail-slim.pl,
but if one of the other ocean tide models is requested,
goes into the process supervision stage:
Without going too much into detail,
Extracts the text of the request, keeps the
remaining requests in ~/Mail/loading
Creates the instruction files for olfg
(and if requested, olcmc).
Starts the program ~/bin/olfg and waits
for completion.
If the request includes CMC
"correction", starts ~/bin/olcmc and waits for completion.
If sites have been found near a
coast, starts olmpp using one of the olmpp*.ins
If plots are requested, runs
~/bin/olmpp-plot (csh-script) and wais for completion
Collects the resulting blq-files and
sends them to the user's mail address using sendmail
Writes notes to ~/bin/logbook.txt
queue.pl:
Every one minute, looks at ~/Mail/loading for
jobs in waiting and ~/bin/logbook.txt
for recently completed or forwarded-to-SEGAL requests.
OTL -
Implementing a new tide model with name <name>
(brackets only for emphasis in this doc.)
If the model is processed on holt:
mkdir ~/tide-models/netCDF/<name>
Copy the files into it,
else
cd ~/bin/
<editor> parsemail-slim.pl
Search for FES2014b
Add a clause to the lines that
identify models processed at SEGAL
elsif ( $email =~ /Model = <name>/ or
$email =~ /Model = TPXO8/ or $email =~ /Model = FES2012/ or $email
=~ /Model = FES2014b/
or ( $email =~ /Model = TPXO9/ && not ( $email =~ /Model =
TPXO9..*/ ) ) )
Do the same in POL-the-manager
cd ~/bin
cmc4model <name>
sh-script, uses olfg to compute the
cmc-coefficicnts; saves them in ~/bin/CMC/<name>.cmc
cd ~/www/index,html
cp index.html index-old-at-<date>.html
<editor> index.html
Add the <name> to the drop-down
list of tide models, like
<option
value="TPXO.7.0">TPXO.7.0 </option>
The value string must be exactly the
name of the sub-directory.
What's between > and </option> is the
text visible in the menu.
