Bill asked me to fix console and dumpster on orchid and wateuler.
The two packages are different from one machine to the other,
and quite different from those on watmath. So, I had to manually
edit each shell script rather than fixing the source on watmath
and distributing the packages.
These scripts used showpath:
console/bin/{tapecopy,tprecover}
console/maintenance/{motd,wall}
dumpster/bin/{multisave,nrestore}
dumpster/maintenance/tapelist
and on wateuler there were in addition:
console/bin/xtapecopy
console/maintenance/{fastreboot,rconsole,tardump,weeksave}
console/servers/tapeprune
Remembering that "bin" should really be "user",
why do things like multisave and nrestore
need to be in the search rules of normal users?
Why does the multisave script put dumpster/lib into its PATH?
Why does dumpster/lib contain executable files instead of lib*.a files?
Why did Bill ask me to fix these only on orchid and wateuler?
