Distributing In-House Engineering Code?
caswelmo asks: "My company has recently moved from Solaris workstations to Windows workstations (Ohhh, the humanity). As an engineering focused company, we use our computers to run many in-house (command line) codes to analyze and design our products. We currently use NAS storage to store everything and use batch files and init scripts to run the correct codes over the network. This makes sure everyone is running the latest version. This also stinks. I know this isn't an original problem, so what are some other solutions for rolling out lots of simple codes like this?"
I don't know what is worse - that you went to Windows, or you had no idea how the heck to go to windows.
I have mod points and I am not afraid to use them
"Distributing In-House Engineering Code?"
I read that as "Disturbing In-House Engineering Code". Any chance we can talk about that, too?
"Derp de derp."
Wait a second.. you want to know what's the easiest and most efficient way to distribute code on Windows workstations?
Spyware, worms, and IE exploits. DUH!!
I think that Windows ships with the QBasic scripting / operating system language.
/e command.com > com1"
From what I hear, it's quite capable for simple "shell scripting" style tasks in Windows like:
"command.com
and
"echo ^G"
Have fun!
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
They switched from Solaris to Windows? You don't work for this company do you?
"My company has recently moved from Solaris workstations to Windows workstations..."
Didn't check it first to see if critical work could be done?
Okay, here's what you do:
1. Send the person who made this decision to Singapore to be caned;
2. Send his boss to Singapore to be caned and send the boss' dog for caning too as the dog may be the true decision-maker here;
3. Get yourselves someone who has more than a two digit I.Q. to be your boss;
4. Profit!
Ciao.
Everything in the Universe sucks: It's the law!
...anything about code:
...he/she refers to source code as "codes". At least that's what the rumors on the internets tell me!
