Swapping Elder / Utter

For "Elder", alternately read "Utter" in this document.
One of these two machines runs service jobs for the SCG monitor.
Swapping them must be done carefully.
What machine is on duty? Answer: http://holt.oso.chalmers.se/hgs/SCG/broker.name
Are the processes active? Answer: Find out; look at its desktop. There ought to be at least one Xterm window in which services are run.

EMERGENCY - The process on Brimer has stopped, Elder and Holt don't get new data

Most common reason: Programs rolling.pl andudp-brc-file.plfail to locate the actual record in Predicted Tides.

ACTION:

On Brimer:     Logon VNC as administrator
On Elder:    User HGS

   cd /home/SGA/bctemp    kx   broadcast-G1 &    cd perlproc/SCG   delgap # follow the instructionsincl.           # restarting the agents.   source RESUME

If this does not help, the condition is new and must be investigated.

Without this, a big gap in Holt's monitor-plot.html will persist for one hour

The logic / logistics

On Brimer, the G1-file that UIPC is appending to is found by file's changing date.
Program `rolling´ takes the last 60 lines and copies them to a temporary file.
The udp agent `udp-brc-file.pl´ watches for the appearance of this file, and when ready, augments it with predicted tide data, formats it and sends it by udp broadcast.
The predicted tides must be computed on Holt in advance.

On Holt two html files are produced and filled with information, www/SCG/monitor.html (text) and ...monitor-plot.html (graphics).
Two agents are engaged, the udp broadcast server `SCG-file-agent.pl´ and the html poducer `file-html-agent.pl´
Holt's file agent produces a one-hour long (actually a 3600 lines long) file that is used by two processes:
Plotting the data (execution started within the file-html-agent); adding USGS earthquake notification (program `eqwatch.pl´)

On Elder, a second version of SCG-file-agent is running, producing a work file of indefinite length and a most-recent-3600 lines work file.
The long file is used to produce a plot of predicted tides and air pressure (one sample per hour, program `tide-press-plot´, csh); and computing a power spectrum once every six minutes, program `11-mems´, csh. (the name SCG-file-agent should be changed to avoid confusion; SCG-accu-agent for instance.)

Brimer needs predicted tides; they are used in the UDP broadcast. The calculation is done on Holt.

One weakness: UDP-streams are somewhat unreliable. Brimer would have to store the whole bunch of 60-lines files as a back-up. Upon data gaps, Holt and Elder would issue scp commands to fill the gaps. (This feature is actually installed. It has been rather successful).

The monitor page http://holt.oso.chalmers.se/hgs/SCG/monitor-plot.html

Here is a snapshot from the monitor page, the end-product of the SCG-Monitor. If the current page looks conspicuously different, identify which of the programs
responsible for the contribution, has been failing.

monitor-plot is a csh script run under SCG-html-agent.pl (/home/hgs/perlproc/).
eqwatch.pl is running indefinitely after cd ~/perlproc; source START
tide-press-plot is activated with cron (currently two times per day)
11-mems is running indefinitely on Elder or Utter ; graphics are uploaded to Holt.

At the top of the page there are links to pages with content renewed routinely, e.g.
>Room Temps (top row, item 3) - croned jobs /home/hgs/wx/TEMP/get-monutemps and /home/hgs/wx/TEMP/plot/plot-monutemps
In the meantime more links have been added.
In the caption to Power spectrum,
>spectrograms vs time - results from a croned job /home/hgs/TD/actual-memsp-vs-time
There are more links on this page now than in 2013.

The Form part (Submit Query) involves a javascript / perlscript feature that activate programs in /home/hgs/let

Brimer:
The desktop with MS-Windows applications is usually blocked by GWR's login window. For security reasons we don't explain here what to do.
The following manoeuvrers concern the Cygwin subsystem on which the processes are running that take care of data broadcast (UDP).

Stop programs, e.g. before reboot:
Find the xterm window that presents a prompter below a line that had launched `broadcast-G1 &´ . Let's call this the launching window.(Two other xterm windows should be visible; they don't allow input but show live messages from the UDP broadcast procedures: monitor windows.
A reason for reboot might be that the UPD broadcast process has failed. So it's a bit difficult to exactly anticipate what you will see.) Enter:

. KX

The xterm windows associated with the broadcast monitor should now disappear.
At least, their content should stall; a warning might appear or a concluding message.
However, KX might not lead to anything sensible.
Then try to analyse the current situation with processes involving perl, xterm and bash:

ps | fgrep xterm
ps | fgrep bash
ps | fgrep perl

If this results in nothing, go on with reboot.
If `ps | fgrep perl´ shows active jobs and active xterms are associated with them, try kill the perl jobs with

touch STOP STOPSEND

and check again with `ps | fgrep perl´ that they have disappeared.
Those processes not involved with the terminal devices ptyn of console and launch include those monitor windows we want to remove and the associated processes.
If the listing from ps don't show any, go ahead with reboot. If not, try and apply commands

kill -KILL pid

starting with the PID's of perl, then bash, and finally xterm. If the xterms are stuck, don't mind; go ahead with reboot.

Reboot: Stop the GWR-IUPC and reboot.

Start programs e.g. after reboot:
From a remote computer: connect with VNC. Or work hands-on with screen and keyboard.
GWR-UIPC should come up automatically. There are warnings (red-coloured circles and squares) to be cleared in the Main tab;
move the pointer to the red items and click the left mouse button.

Do you see a cygwin console window (black background, icon

)?
If not, start a Cygwin Terminal (desktop icon, double-click) and from within there, start Cygwin-X by

. sx

Start an xterm terminal from the cygwin console if one didn't come up due to sx:

. st

That'll be your launch window. Go there.

Programs are in /home/SGA/perlproc : rolling.pl and udp-brc-file.pl . Here's how to start them:

tcsh
source minipath setenv TODAYDEST holt

multiple recipients for the daily dataset can be specified, e.g. holt:barre

cd /home/SGA/bctemp broadcast-G1 &

broadcast-G1 starts both rolling.pl and udp-brc-file.pl
with each their own, new, and persistent monitoring xterm.

If that does not produce two xterm windows like these ones, read on here.

The predicted tides are stored in ~/bctemp/PT/

Taking down the broadcast procedures:
In the xterm window where you started the procedures, issue

   cd /home/SGA/bctempif necessary. The following command will kill the persistent xterms by process number:
   . KX
To stop the routines individually:    touch STOP STOPSEND

Elder:
Programs are in /home/HGS/perlproc
The following programs on Elder are vital for the continued function of the Monitor and its associated pages on Holt:

SCG-accu-agent.pl - Runs the UPD clientand computes the tide residual, similar to SCG-html-agent on Holt.file-monitor-agent.pl - Maintains the integrity of the monitor data, helps Holt to mend gaps. tide-press-plot -Prepares the 30-days' tides and pressure plot (in the upper-right of the monitor)11-mems -Prepares the MEM-spectra for the last hour (plot in the lower-right of the monitor)

Scripts for scp are in~/bin:

scp2h - scp to Holt scp2ba - scp to Barre scp2LIST - a whole range of recipients

The script actually invoked is set through the environment, e.g.

setenv SCPPGM /home/HGS/bin/scp2h

which is also the default.

Uncontrolled reboot of Elder
You will find Elder in the idle state. Login (user HGS) and start cygwin. Open an xterm (an a second one if you like), use tcsh and connect to Holt (the command is simply holt )

Elder console: . sxElder console: . stElder xterm: tcshElder xterm: source minipathElder xterm: holtHolt xterm: tcshHolt xterm...

ps -uhgs

You will probably find orphan processes.

SCG-html-agent - /home/hgs/perlproc/SCG-html-agent.pl- runs the UDP-clientretro-agent - /home/hgs/let/retro-agent.pl - Serves user requests for plotting in the past.eqwatch - /home/hgs/perlproc/eqwatch.pl - checks mail inbox for earthquakes

Try to kill the first two using

STOP RCV RET

and kill eqwatch more efficiently using kill -KILL<pid>
Klick here to continue.

Controlled reboot of Elder for e.g. Windows updates.
Note that Elder is not only used to run some data handling procedures but also
to connect to Holt and run the live monitor functions remotely. This is because
we don't have a Holt console, and because we need a machine that is always active.
Like Elder.

However, from time too time, Elder needs rebooting.
Do the required Windows work first, like installing updates. Then...

cd ~/perlproc STOP RFMT

Reboot.
Start cygwin, and from the console window start at least two xterms

. sx
# starts X and an xterm
. st
# starts an additional xterm. Repeat as often as desired. Then you can hide the cygwin console

The following assumes that you run tcsh, so issue in each xterm

tcsh source minipath
# this is necessary to speed up program location; the paths are extended to the software
# you need below. So this command is important!

Use one of the xterms to connect to Holt

holt

It will open another xterm window. Start tcsh there (there is no minipath since it's a linux machine)
In the window connected to holt (frame title = hgs@holt) issue
tcsh
j

and note the active jobs

cd ~/perlproc
STOP EQW RET

In the window connected to Elder (frame title = HGS@HGS-Dator) issue

cd ~/perlproc
j

and note the active jobs and their job numbers

STOP RFMT

any job with process-id (PID) n that does not stop in reasonable time can be stopped by
^C
to kill STOP and then

kill %n

Do the rebooting. Start the jobs again at Elder and at Holt.
Start cygwin again. Open a couple of xterm windows with

. sx
. st
. st

at the console window.
Use one of the xterms to connect to Holt. The command is simply

holt

and start tcsh in the new xterm that will appear.

tcsh
cd perlproc

Done. Continue with Elder as follows

Starting the jobs at Elder

Connect to elder e.g. by ssh or
at the very machine, start cygwin and issue
. sx

If it's not to Holt we copy, set the machine in the script /home/HGS/bin/scp2LIST
tcsh
source minipath
setenv SCPPGM /home/HGS/bin/scp2LIST echo $path

check that path contains ( . ~/perlproc ... ), add if necessary

cd perlproc/SCG

Try       sync-monitorIf that does not work,
prune-monitor -T         # will preserve the last two hours of monitor.txt
# prune-monitor -T -b h-n # will preserve the last n hours
source START

If START not work, e.g. due to collision with an already active job, type out START (more START)
and start the procedures individually, e.g.
SCG-accu-agent.pl -q monitor &
    file-monitor-agent.pl -q monitor &
11-mems &
tide-press-plot &

    The programs may be started in different xterms (tide-press-plot isn't a top figure; it should be replaced
    with a better plot procedure. Anyway, it would produce a new plot once per hour and thus may share
    an xterm with e.g. 11-mems.

    The ps command in Cygwin does not list the names of procedures; thus, the START and STOP procedures
    cannot easily check whether the programs are already or still active. The jobs command (shorthand: j) returns the script calls
    only if they have been issued in the same xterm as the jobs command.

Testing:
For testing the agent processes without copying files to the http-server machine, issue

setenv SCPPGM noscp

before source START

Swapping Elder / Utter:
Assume Utter is active, Elder is to take over.

On Elder:
Follow the advice as for "Starting the jobs". Before source START , prune the monitor data or reload the other agent's monitor files

source minipath cd perlproc/SCG prune-monitor -M-b h-1 #prunesmonitor, preserves the last one hour prune-monitor -T #prunes monitor.txt , preserves the last two hours prune-monitor -b h-1 -x .dat #prunes monitor.dat , preserves the last two hours

and/or, to synchronize the monitor files on Elder with the more recent ones on Utter,

cd perlproc/SCGsync-monitor

The latter method is for a smooth take-over while Utter keeps running.
The former method is to be preferred if the active agent (Utter) has been stopped a long time ago (more than an hour for certain, more than 10 minutes perhaps).
Holt will fetch monitor.txt if it's own one has gaps. Now it's time for

source START

After issuing the source START command, wait at least ten minutes while you observe that the processes keep running. The buffer files need some new data, and a gap near the restart won't be filled before some time has passed.
Check these files: ls -l perlproc/SCG/monitor.*A typical result:

-rw-r--r-- 1 HGS None    29364 Apr 23 12:54 monitor.ts
-rw-rw-r-- 1 HGS None   409920 Apr 23 12:54 monitor.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 HGS None   416640 Apr 23 12:54 monitor.txt.tmp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 HGS None     6720 Apr 23 12:54 monitor.wrk
-rw-rw-r-- 1 HGS None 19763520 Apr 23 12:18 monitor.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 HGS None        0 Apr 14 16:04 monitor.tmp       -dates from the last restart
etc., older files of no particular interest

Then, log on to Holt and

set-broker elder

Now you can stop the processes on Utter

source minipath cd perlproc/SCG STOP RFMT

The reverse swap should work with exchanging Elder <-> Utter

------------------ End Swapping Elder / Utter ------------------------

Holt:
Programs are in /home/hgs/perlproc , /home/hgs/www/SCG/ and /home/hgs/let/
There are in all five programs running on holt but only two to start, eqwatch (earthquake watch) and retro-agent (and eventually a gap-filling instance of tide-press-plot and pt4brimer).

SCG-html-agent - /home/hgs/perlproc/SCG-html-agent.pl- runs the UDP-client, automatically restarted from cron /home/hgs/perlproc/monitor-cronstart every 30 minutes. tide-press-plot - /home/hgs/TD/tide-press-plot - normally a cron job, but after a long break it should be executed from the command window with a reprocessing option. Read the instructions cd/home/hgs/TD; tide-press-plot -hpt4brimer -/home/hgs/TD/pt4brimer - computes predicted tides; a cron job. eqwatch - /home/hgs/perlproc/eqwatch.pl - checks mail inbox for earthquakes.retro-agent - /home/hgs/let/retro-agent.pl - Serves user requests for plotting in the past.

It's best to start eqwatch and retro-agent from a stationary machine like Elder in an ssh-xterm window to Holt.

Combined start:
starts anything that happens to be inactive

cd ~/perlprocsource START

Combined stop:

STOP RETRO E[QWATCH]

    The retro-agent is not involved in the real-time processing.

[The procedures should all be moved into a new subdir SGC-Monitor (incl. PNG). Beware the hard-wired file names!]

    SCG-html-agent forks out shell processes for preparing the plots, append the data bases,...
    The central plot with the last 1-hour is produced by csh script ~/www/SCG/monitor-plot .

Predicted tides for Brimer (a cron job; should be executed from the command window after a long break)
    Example:

cd ~/TD foreach i ( `fromto 0 31` ) # prtide4day -XD -D 2013,01,02 -A $i# with drift term prtide4day -X -D 2013,01,02 -A $iend./scp2b -N 32

The cron job every third day of a month:

/home/hgs/TD/pt4brimer

Retrospect page

The cgi functions for the retrospect service (show earlier data) are in SCG-monitor.cgi (-try is the engineering version).
    They need an agent called retro-agent.pl You can go back to the day before today or earlier (since the G1-files
    are produced early in the morning of the day following their completion; c.f.cron jobs).
    The dynamic page is copied from the static page (www/SCG/monitor-plot.html) except that a few features are
    replaced (plot file names); most importantly, the date for the plot request is sent to let/log .
    retro-agent.pl processes the content oflog, but only if the plot file $date-monitor.png does not already exist.
    The usual content of the file ~/let/log is the command
     /home/hgs/TD/G1-plot-hour [options] -M YYYY-MM-DD HH [mm]

cd ~/let retro-agent.pl &
# to stop: touch STOPRETRO
# to test: touch TESTRETRO and perhaps touch ONETRIPRETRO
# While STOPRETRO is removed automatically when retro-agent.pl is started, # the other signal files must be removed manually.

~/let is a directory whereSCG-monitor.cgican place files. The rule with cgi scripts is (or seems to be) that shelling (`sh commands`;) is not allowed (not that simple). An easy solution to starting jobs on requests from a cgi script is to have an agent running. The agent, however, cannot change the file permissions. The owner is www-data, so is the group. The cgi script could check whether the agent has fulfilled the request, and delete the content of the request file. However, it will depend on the surfer's human behaviour whether he/she would follow up a request. It appears more robust if the agent can decide whether the request is unanswered.
In let/retro-agent.pl the request string is analysed and the files that are going to be produced are anticipated. If these files exist already, the agent will skip the request. The disadvantage of this method is that the new file products must be named uniquely, which will become a problem if requests with many sub-options are allowed. An easy way of would be to have a cleaner that removes files with names that match a certain pattern, applying an expiry date. For instance, plots for a particular minute could be purged every day.

set today=`echo `date '+%Y-%m-%d'` set yester=`jdc -- -A-1 $today`ls -l /home/hgs/www/SCG/PNG/????-??-??-??-??-monitor.png | awk -v y=$yester '($8 == y){print $9}' | xargs rm -f

This could become a croned script to run every morning.
It could have an option to loop through a series of back-days.

/home/hgs/wx/MAREO/get-oso-mareograph includes data from the Bubble mareograph get-tide-data copies from Brimer;
yesterdays-G1-plot see below;
actual-memsp-vs-time is a now!-special version of yesterdays-G1-plot's memsp-vs-time
tide-press-plot prepares the upper-right diagram on the monitor home page.
daily-fo-pdg.sh prepares free-oscillation spectrograms, which can be disbanded if no big earthquake has happened during the recent 60 days. Event names and times must be defined inside the script.

Procedure yesterdays-G1-plot does a lot:

~/TD/ :: daily-resid for yesterday => d/G1_garb_yymmdd-1s.mc
~/TD/ :: hms-mc-plot for yesterday => ~/www/SCG/PNG/${yesterday}-hms-plot.png
updates home pages in regard of 2.
~/TD/ :: eqlookup.pl
~/TD/MEMS/ :: memsp-vs-time

MEM spectra versus time
Normally, the cron jobs yesterdays-G1-plot and actual-memsp-vs-time update the memsp-vs-time plots and catalogs.
The numerical data is kept in ~/TD/MEMS and the png plots are sent to ~/www/SCG/MEMS

if the files of today haven't been sent from Elder to Holt
or
memsp-vs-time -D -OT ~/www/SCG/MEMS -A #RJD -d #YYYY-MM-01 31
if the files of the day (RJD) are not found on Elder but on Holt

Repair missing bits of today, if memsp-vs-time -S did not close all gaps: Handwork!

Brimer: Problem with running jobs in xterm windows

Figure above: This is the normal look of the broadcast processes. The heartbeat marks are symbols, eventually with a coloured symbol like (/);they change angle every minute. Samples of the broadcast record are also shown. If the windows appear dead or incomplete, follow the guidelines below.

1. Take down all xterm windows.

Use the console window, issue

jobs

and kill the XWin job, usually

kill %1

This will remove the windows. Exit the console window too.

2. Start Windows Task Manager, kill any of the following processes:

xterm, bash, tcsh, perl

3. Start Cygwin console window and three xterms

. sx ^Z # means: <Ctrl>-Z bg %1. st. st. st

4. Start the broadcast processes manually

In the first of the xterms, enter

tcshcd bctemp/home/SGA/bin/rolling -q -M monit-f.txt -d /home/SGA/TDYEAR/RAW_o054 -P PT -a &

In the second xterm

tcsh cd bctemp/home/SGA/bin/udp-brc-file -q -M monit-b.txt tmp.dat &

.bye

If this does not help, the condition is new and must be investigated.	Without this, a big gap in Holt's monitor-plot.html will persist for one hour
