Writin' CDs:

  A day's archive of ebex data is about 500-600 Mbytes, which
  fits on a 650 Mbyte CD.

  To write a CD from clover (not aster):

	1. check what's online:
		cd /data/big/aster/projects/EBEX00/raw_data/all
		ls

	2. Press the eject button on the CD-R 4x4x16 drive on clover,
	   and insert a blank CD.

	3. run the bkcd.all script. This can be run from any directory:
		bkcd.all  month day
	   where month and day are the numeric month and day to be
	   written, for example, for August 5th:
		bkcd.all 8 5 

	4. The script makes a copy of the day's files on /data/bigger,
	   moves the files to
		 /data/big/aster/projects/EBEX00/raw_data/cdbackup/all
	   copies them to the CD, verifies the contents of the CD,
	   deletes the files from /data/big, ejects the CD, and
	   prints a label (All without complaining or getting paid,
	   while you're sitting on your butt watching the lights blink!)
		
	5. Assuming everything works, wait until the manual feed light
	   appears on the printer.  Then insert a cd label sheet
	   (made by  CDSTOMPER) into the back of the printer,
	   against the right side guide, printable side facing you,
           with the printable label at the bottom of the sheet.
	   (One sheet contains two labels, and can be fed through
	   the printer twice, from either end).

	6. Peel the label, put it over the spindle on the CDSTOMPER,
	   sticky side up.  Place the CD on the spindle (LABEL side DOWN!
	   DATA side UP!), and press down.  Put the CD in a plastic
	   holder and file in the box.

  If you get what appear to be CD write errors, then try lightly
  spraying the CD drawer and inside the drive with the canned
  duster.  Then try again with a new CD, using the same command.

  The script also writes a log file on $ASTER/projects/EBEX00/cdlogs,
  which you can refer to if things are not working.

To view DHCP address allocations:
(as root)
/usr/sadm/admin/bin/dhcpmgr

43: baro, Site base, Wed 02-Aug-2000 10:20:50 PDT, access to internet
Gordon just got internet access working through one of the cell phones.
It (the Nextel: 303-994-5997) is hanging on the wall, connected through 
its internal modem to a serial port on clover.  With the cable connected,
it cannot be charged, so we must remember to disconnect it and charge it
up overnight.

To use (on clover, as aster):
ppp_up 
  This command:
  - places call using cell phone
  - connects to cnenet (Hanford ISP)
  - (tries to) set routing to linus via cnenet (but fails since not root)
Then can: ssh -l  128.117.80.208 (to connect to linus)
In theory, netscape also should work through cnenet, but didn't appear to yet.
A log of the ppp session is in /etc/log/asppp.log, but need to be root to view)
If clover reboots, routing to linus needs to be done manually:
route add host 128.117.80.208 206.169.217.5 1

With ppp up, Gordon can log in remotely if he knows our address.  The easiest
way to get it is from:
ifconfig -a
where the last line is something like:
	inet 206.169.217.172 --> 206.169.217.4 netmask ffffff00


When done:
ppp_down
