can run.

number.

Make the netlab client applet available to locals.

	* configure, configure.in: Add xmlrpcpipe.php3.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add missing virtual_tables.  Add
	getareas call to get the list of robot areas.  Add node.getlist
	and node.typeinfo methods for getting information about the nodes.
	Add a "nic" argument to node.available to get the count of
	wireless nodes.  Add "exclude" argument to
	experiment.virtual_topology so we don't have to download the
	massive route table, also delete the 'pid'/'eid' fields for the
	same reason.  Don't return string output of virtual_topology, it's
	huge.  Return some more info in experiment.getlist().

	* www/GNUmakefile.in: Add xmlrpcpipe.php3.

	* www/beginexp_form.php3, www/modifyexp.php3: Add links to the
	client gui.

	* www/netlab-client.jar: The client binary.

experiment.nsfile methods.  Prune some more fields out of the metadata
return value.

experiment.

Add a minor feature to loghole to support network link trace files.

	* utils/loghole.in, utils/loghole.1: Create a directory for traced
	network links that contains symbolic links to the pcap files.

	* www/tutorial/advanced.html: Fix the link to the loghole doc.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add a 'traces' aspect to the
	experiment.info method (used by loghole).

Event system documentation and tweaks:

	* event/sched/event-sched.c: The snapshot event got left out of
	the list of events that send back a complete event.  If a top
	level sequence stops with an error, automatically send a report.

	* event/sched/group-agent.c, event/sched/timeline-agent.c: When
	handling a complete event, return true if the event was consumed.

	* event/sched/node-agent.cc: Clean the "/local/logs" loghole on
	the node before taking a snapshot of the disk image.

	* event/sched/simulator-agent.cc, event/sched/simulator-agent.h:
	Made send_report non-static so it can be called when a sequence
	errors out.  Actually check the clear flag when dumping report
	data.

	* lib/libtb/tbdefs.c: Add a comment about updating the event
	scheduler when a new object type is added.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Check the OSIDs passed to the "reload"
	and "snapshot-to" events.

	* utils/loghole.1: Mention early and often the directories that
	gets sync'd.  Document the 'change' action and new options for
	'clean'.

	* utils/loghole.in: Use rsync's '--include-from' option so we
	don't have to run rsync separately for each directory.  Add a
	'change' action that lets people mess with the metadata of an
	existing archive.  Make the 'clean' action also remove log files
	on the nodes.  Only rsync node's whose OS's support ssh.  Grab
	logs from delay nodes.

	* www/tutorial/advanced.html: Update the program agent examples to
	use the new form.

	* www/tutorial/eventsystem.html: First cut at an event system
	reference manual that includes sequences, timelines, and other
	new features.

	* www/tutorial/loghole.html: Just a pointer to the man page on ops
	for now.

	* www/tutorial/nscommands.html: Add a section about capturing
	parameters from the 'opt' array.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add an osid.info() method that
	returns information about a single OSID.

The crux of this is to emulate what switchmac does when incorporating nodes
into the testbed. Rather then using snmpit to ask the switches for MAC info,
we can just ask outer emulab via the proxy to get that same info from the
DB. Note, there are no changes to the newnode MFS; it will boot and happily
report it after launching teachswitch, but those packets are harmless to the situation.

Another wrinkle is that we need the outer emulab to tell us which
interfaces are control and which are experimental, since inside there
is no real way to determine that. I did this by overloading the final
field in the return from switchmac, and using that to override the
"role" setting that utils/newnode would normally choose on its own.

There is another new routine in the XMLRPC server that is intended to
be used for bypassing the newnode path. This is not hooked into
anything yet, but the intent is that rather then using the web
interface to "add" nodes, we just return everything needed to seed the
new_nodes and new_interfaces table, and then run newnodes directly.

Mote and robot related stuff.  The main thing is the addition of relay
capabilities to capture and related things.

	* GNUmakefile.in: Add the capture and tip subdirectories to the
	client and client-install targets.

	* configure, configure.in, config.h.in: Detect srandomdev() for
	capture and add "mote/newmote" script.

	* capture/GNUmakefile.in, capture/capture.c: Add "relay"
	capabilities to capture.

	* capture/capquery.c: Query the capserver for the relay receiver's
	port number.

	* capture/capserver.c: Small hack to return the port number
        for a node.

	* db/libdb.pm.in, db/xmlconvert.in: Add virt_tiptunnels table.

	* event/program-agent/program-agent.c: Change log file names to
	something a little more user-friendly.  Add a "MODIFY" event
	handler that lets the user set agent attributes (command, tag,
	timeout) without having to run a program.

	* event/sched/GNUmakefile.in, event/sched/console-agent.cc,
	event/sched/console-agent.h, event/sched/event-sched.c: Add
	console agents that can be used to snapshot a section of the
	capture log file.

	* event/sched/node-agent.cc: Some minor cleanup.

	* event/sched/simulator-agent.cc, event/sched/simulator-agent.h:
	Add the config data to the report mail.  Add a "RESET" event
	handler that runs "loghole clean".  Save the report mail in a file
	so it gets archived with the rest of the logs.

	* lib/libtb/tbdefs.h: Add CONSOLE object type.

	* mote/GNUmakefile.in, mote/newmote: Add newmote script, just a
	quick hack to add motes to the DB.

	* mote/tbuisp.in: Add another backend for loading motes through
	their relay capture server.

	* robots/mtp/mtp_dump.c: Dump the min/max values for x and y,
	handy for figuring out the bounds of the camera.

	* sql/database-fill.sql: Change the RELOAD-MOTE/SHUTDOWN ->
	ALWAYSUP/SHUTDOWN mode transition to ALWAYSUP/ISUP since stated
	doesn't seem to run triggers after a state change by a mode
	transition.

	* tbsetup/tbreport.in: Change the ordering of the eventlist so it
	displays event-sequences appropriately.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/GNUmakefile.in, tbsetup/ns2ir/console.tcl,
	tbsetup/ns2ir/node.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/parse.tcl.in,
	tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Add a "console" agent that represents
	the serial console for a node.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/sequence.tcl: Add an "append" method so it is
	easier to build sequences dynamically.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/topography.tcl: Make checkdest available to
	regular users.

	* tip/GNUmakefile.in, tip/tiptunnel.c: Add support for uploading a
	file to a relay version of capture and exporting the end
	connection as a pty.

	* tmcd/decls.h, tmcd/common/libsetup.pm: Bump version number since
	the dosubnodelist change is not backwards compatible.

	* tmcd/tmcd.c: Make dosubnodelist and dosubconfig callable even
	when a node isn't allocated.  Add dotiptunnels command that
	returns which serial consoles are to be mounted on a node.  Add
	mote version of subconfig that returns information needed to
	startup the relay version of capture.

	* tmcd/common/bootsubnodes: For motes, startup the relay version
	of capture (XXX stargate specific).

	* tmcd/common/libsetup.pm, tmcd/common/libtmcc.pm,
	tmcd/common/config/rc.config, tmcd/common/config/rc.tiptunnels:
	Client side changes for mounting another nodes serial line.

	* tmcd/common/rc.bootsetup: Always boot the subnodes, even when
	free.  This is used for motes since their capture needs to be up
	for reloading at the time.

	* tmcd/linux/ixpboot: Shuffle some code around so the script
	doesn't fail if the ixp isn't allocated.

	* utils/loghole.in: Add "digest.out" and "report.mail" as global
	logs to be saved in archives and display the "report.mail" file
	when showing a loghole archive.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Scrub more of the return values to
	get rid of "None"s.

script_wrapper.

	expwait [-t timeout] -e pid,eid state
	expwait [-t timeout] pid eid state
	where:
	     -e   - Project and Experiment ID
	     -t   - Maximum time to wait (in seconds).

Fix a couple of things I missed in my last checkin.

	* event/program-agent/program-agent.c: Setup of the user
	environment variables wasn't ordered correctly.

	* event/sched/event-sched.c, event/sched/rpc.h,
	event/sched/rpc.cc: Setup the expected user environment variables,
	just like in program-agent.

	* event/sched/simulator-agent.cc: Rename the old feedback data so
	we don't lose it in case the vnode remapping modify fails.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add virt_user_environment table data
	to the result of the experiment.metadata method, so the
	event-scheduler can get it.

Checkin some changes related to experiment automation and vnode feedback:

	* configure, configure.in: Add sensors/canaryd/feedbacklogs
	template.

	* db/libdb.pm.in, db/xmlconvert.in: Add "virt_user_environment"
	table that holds environment variable names and values.

	add install targets for the man page.

	* event/program-agent/program-agent.8: Man page describing the
	program-agent daemon.

	* event/program-agent/program-agent.c: Add a bunch of convenience
	features: let the user specify the working directory for commands;
	save output to separate files on every invocation of an agent; let
	the user specify a timeout for a command; make the set of
	environment variables sane and add vars given in the NS file in
	the opt array; a "status" file containing process information is
	written out when children are collected.  Internal changes: child
	processes are collected immediately, instead of waiting for the
	next START event, so we can send back COMPLETE events; the daemon
	now runs with a real-time priority, to increase the chances of
	receiving events.

	* event/proxy/evproxy.c: Made it bidirectional so the
	program-agent's COMPLETE events make it back to the scheduler.

	* event/sched/error-record.c: Change the default log directory.

	* event/sched/event-sched.h, event/sched/event-sched.c: Setup an

	the START event.

	* os/GNUmakefile.in: Install the install-tarfile.1 man page.

	that swapped in the experiment.  Include the install directory in
	the DB file.  Add a "list" mode that just dumps what files have
	been installed and where.  Add a "force" option so the user can
	forcefully install the file, even though the DB says its already
	there.

	* os/install-tarfile.1: Man page describing the install-tarfile
	tool.

	* os/syncd/GNUmakefile.in: Install man pages on ops.

	new OS.

	* tbsetup/power.in: Remove debugging printf.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/node.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/program.tcl,
	tbsetup/ns2ir/sequence.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Fix some
	quoting problems with event-sequences.  Add -expected-exit-code
	and -tag options to the "$program run" event.  Add -digester to
	the "$ns report" event that lets the user specify a program to run
	to digest the log files.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/tb_compat.tcl.in: Change the initial scaling
	factor for feedback nodes to 1%, instead of 100%.

	* tmcd/tmcd.c, tmcd/common/libtmcc.pm: Add "userenv" command that
	returns the values in "virt_user_environment".  Return new program
	agent fields: dir, timeout, and expected_exit_code.

	* tmcd/common/GNUmakefile.in: Install rc.canaryd.

	* tmcd/common/bootvnodes: Add hack to boost the program-agents to

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add "virt_user_environment" table.
	Order the eventlist by "idx" and time, needed for sequences.  And
	removed unnecessary nologin checks.

Robot-related improvements based on feedback from Sid:

	* event/sched/event-sched.h, event/sched/event-sched.c,
	event/sched/rpc.h, event/sched/rpc.cc: Send a notification of the
	start of event time and timelines.  Add a '-r' option that forces
	it to use the default rpc path (so dan can use a custom
	scheduler/rmcd/etc on ops).

	* robots/GNUmakefile.in, robots/emc/GNUmakefile.in,
	robots/mtp/GNUmakefile.in, robots/primotion/GNUmakefile.in,
	robots/rmcd/GNUmakefile.in, robots/vmcd/GNUmakefile.in,
	robots/tbsetdest/tbsetdest.cc: Add a control-install target.

	* robots/primotion/garcia-pilot.cc: Take out some experimental
	code.

	* robots/primotion/dashboard.hh, robots/primotion/dashboard.cc,
	robots/primotion/pilotClient.cc, robots/primotion/wheelManager.hh,
	robots/primotion/wheelManager.cc: When doing a COMMAND_STOP, make
	sure we only send one update packet, an idle or an abort.  Also
	send back the actual distance travelled/pivoted.

	* robots/tbsetdest/tbsetdest.cc: Don't output setdest event's with
	a speed of zero.

	* tbsetup/eventsys_control.in: When replaying/stopping, clear the
	start of event time for the experiment.

	* tbsetup/power_mail.pm.in: Decrease the threshold used to tell if
	a node has been power cycled "recently".

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/node.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Bah, backout
	last change, orientation is supposed to be in degrees at these
	points.  Also, when automatically picking the sync server, don't
	use nodes that are subnodes.

	* tmcd/common/bootsubnodes: Send an ISUP for motes.

	* www/moteleds.php3: Show the mote node names instead of the
	robots.

	* www/powertime.php3: Add option to mark nodes as powered off.

	* www/robotmap.php3: Display the elapsed time for the overall
	event time and for each active timeline.

	event_notification creation functions that get used in
	event-sched.

	* event/sched/event-sched.c, event/sched/rpc.h,
	event/sched/rpc.cc: Sync the start of event time with the
	robots reaching their initial positions.  This is done by
	creating a master event-sequence that takes care of sending
	the SETDEST events and then starting the Simulator timeline.

	* mote/tbuisp.in: Use node_reboot instead of ssh'ing in.

	* robots/GNUmakefile.in: Don't build tbsetdest if ulsshxmlrpcpp is
	not available.

	* robots/emc/loclistener.in: Clear the destination values for a
	node when it reaches its destination.

	* robots/primotion/garcia-pilot.cc,
	robots/primotion/pilotClient.cc: Some cleanup and debugging.

	* robots/primotion/wheelManager.cc: Check the rear sensors for

	* tbsetup/os_setup.in: Removed the robot hack used when deciding
	which nodes to reconfig/reboot.  Added a robot hack to avoid
	rebooting a robot whose mote is being os_load'd, since it would
	interrupt tbuisp which does the reboot anyways.  Also fixed a
	small typo.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/node.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Oops, forgot
	to convert degrees to radians.

	doing the install.

	* tmcd/linux-sg/rc.stargate: Start garcia-pilot.

	* vis/floormap.in: Add options for showing the camera bounds,
	obstacle exclusion zones, and displaying vnames instead of pnames.

	* www/ledpipe.php3: Finally figured out how to use a socket
	instead of popening a perl script.

	* www/robotmap.php3: Add checkboxes for displaying/not displaying
	the camera bounds and obstacle exclusion zones.  Add a legend
	showing what actual vs. destination points are.  Pass pid/eid
	through to vis/floormap if it is given.

	* www/showexp.php3: Add a "Robot Map" link to experiments that
	have allocated garcias.

	* www/floormap/map_legend_node.gif,
	www/floormap/map_legend_node_dst.gif: Icons used by the robot map
	legend.

	* www/floormap/robots-4.jpg: Added an obstacle around the entryway
	so people are slightly less likely to trip over the robots.  Added
	a coordinate system legend to the top left corner.

	* www/tutorial/mobilewireless.php3: Add links to David's movie of
	the robot making its way around the pillar.

	* www/tutorial/robot_anim.gif: A nifty gifanim clip of the robot
	movie.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Pull the camera data from the DB,
	instead of returning hardcoded stuff.

More robot tweaks:

	* event/sched/event-sched.c: Start rmcd, then vmcd.

	* event/sched/rpc.cc: Add camera dimensions to the config file.

	config and add a command_id field to the update_position packet.

	* robots/primotion/garcia-pilot.cc: Move the decl of the acpGarcia
	object below daemon(3) since it doesn't seem to like it when the
	parent process dies and fix the log file creation.

	* robots/primotion/pilotClient.cc: Pass the command_id back in any
	update_position packets.

	* robots/rmcd/rmcd.c: Use the command-id to distinguish between
	STOPs for the sake of a GOTO and a wiggle.

	* robots/vmcd/visionTrack.h, robots/vmcd/visionTrack.c: Only
	coalesce packets from different cameras (duh) and mess with the
	tolerances a little more.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add some rough camera dimensions.

More robot integration and some event system updates.

	* configure, configure.in: Detect rsync for loghole and add
	utils/loghole to the list of template files.

	* db/libdb.pm.in, db/xmlconvert.in: Add virt_node_startloc to the
	list of virtual tables.

	* event/lib/event.h, event/lib/event.c, event/lib/tbevent.py.tail:

	event/sched/simulator-agent.h, event/sched/simulator-agent.c,
	event/sched/timeline-agent.h, event/sched/timeline-agent.c:
	Updated event scheduler, not completely finished, but well enough
	along for the robots.

	* lib/libtb/GNUmakefile.in, lib/libtb/popenf.h,
	lib/libtb/popenf.c, lib/libtb/systemf.h, lib/libtb/systemf.c: Add

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/parse-ns.in: Make a hwtype_class array with a
	node_type's class.  Make an 'areas' array that holds the
	buildings where nodes are located.  Make an 'obstacles' table
	with any obstacles in the building.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/parse.tcl.in: Move named-args function from
	tb_compat.tcl to here.  Add reltime-to-secs function that converts
	time given in a format like "10h2m1s" to a seconds value, used in
	"$ns at" so its easier to write time values.  Add "K", "Kb", and
	"Kbps" as possible units for bandwidth (only the lowercase
	versions were available before).

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/program.tcl: Add "dir" and "timeout" attributes,
	although they don't go anywhere at the moment.

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/sequence.tcl, tbsetup/ns2ir/timeline.tcl,

	* tbsetup/ns2ir/sim.tcl.in: Add support for timelines and
	sequences.  Add 'node-config' method to change the default

	initial MODIFY event to any trafgen objects so their configuration
	gets through, even when there are no start/stop events.  Move
	event parsing to the 'make_event' method.

	* utils/loghole.1, utils/loghole.in: Loghole utility, used for
	retrieving logs from experimental nodes and creating archives of
	the logs.

	* xmlrpc/emulabclient.py.in: Escape any strange characters in the
	output field.

	* xmlrpc/emulabserver.py.in: Add virt_node_startloc to the list of
	virtual_tables.  Add emulab.vision_config and
	emulab.obstacle_config methods for getting information pertaining
	to the robots.  Change the OSID listing to include more fields.
	Add a "physical" aspect to experiment.info to get information
	about the physical nodes.  Add parent field to the events in the
	array returned by eventlist.  Add sshdescription to get extra
	information needed to log into a vnode.  Add node.statewait so you
	can wait for nodes to come up.

but never made use of. Moved to its own file (www/xmlrpc.php3.in)
and made to be more like the perl library I did a couple of months ago,
that presents an interface to an sslxmlrpc server, via the sslxmlrpc
client program operating in "raw" mode (takes raw xml on stdin, and
returns raw xml on stdout).

Added ELABINELAB code to nodetipacl.php3 so that you can click on
console icon on an inner emulab web page, and it will ask the outer
emulab sslxmlrpc server for the stuff it needs, and return that to the
user.

the inner web interface can return the stuff that tiptunnel needs.
Tim already had a node.console routine that does this, so I just
invoke it from the elabinelab class, after elabinelab permission
checks.

loading emulabserver.py from the main tree.

Thanks to Tim for actually writing most of this code.

bit in the exception message.

download images from the outer emulab. This script is invoked from
frisbeelauncher when ELABINELAB=1 and the filename does not exist
(thus attempting to get the image file before bailing). The
frisbeeimage script uses a new method in the RPC server to fire up a
frisbeed (using frisbeelauncher on the outer Emulab), subject to the
usual permission checks against creator of the elabinelab experiment
(I assume that the creator will have access to any outer images that
are used inside the inner emulab). If outer frisbeelauncher succeeds,
its return value is the load_address (IP:port), which is used to fire
up a frisbee client to get the image file and write it out (using
Mike's new -N option that just dumps the raw data to file). Once the
image is downloaded, control returns to inner frisbeelauncher and
proceeds as normal.

I whacked this together pretty quickly. Under heavy usage it might hit
a race condition or two, but I do not expect that to happen in an
inner elab for a while.

Minor improvement to the node.available() method so you can get the
number of free nodes of a particular type (e.g. pc850).

  * xmlrpc/GNUmakefile.in: Add node_avail symlink.

  * xmlrpc/emulabserver.in: Add some optional parameters to
    node.available() so you can specify the class/type of nodes as
    well as project credentials.

  * xmlrpc/script_wrapper.py.in: Add node_avail class that calls
    node.available() with the given parameters.
