Talk:Dsh
I installed dsh' on my XS 0.4 test platform, following the instructions on the dsh homepage to compile from source. I already had all the dev tools I needed except for gcc-c++, though I forget if I installed those prior. I had a slight issue with where make install
put these libraries:
[root@schoolserver etc]# cd /usr/local/lib [root@schoolserver lib]# ls libdshconfig.a libdshconfig.so libdshconfig.so.1.0.0 libdshconfig.la libdshconfig.so.1
Dsh looks for these in /usr/lib, so I just copied them all over to /usr/lib and then dsh worked. Also, it puts dsh.conf in /usr/local/etc instead of /etc/dsh. Not a big deal, just something to remember. I had to edit remoteshell= ssh
instead of rsh in dsh.conf.
Additionally, I edited /etc/ssh_config' on the XS to say "StrictHostKeyChecking no"
to automatically approve the XOs rsa keys.
On the XOs, I had to edit sshd_config for "PubkeyAuthentication yes"
It is critical to set the permissions correctly for /home/olpc/.ssh and /home/olpc/.ssh/authorized_keys, otherwise ssh and dsh won't work.
chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Now the fun of "commanding a legion of XOs!" Here are some little things I've tried:
- Get a list of the XOs by Buddy name:
dsh -Mac cat /home/olpc/.sugar/default config | grep nickname
- See how much free space is on the nand:
dsh -Mac df -h | grep mtd0
- Install an activity (this can probably be condensed into fewer commands):
dsh -Mac wget <link to activity.xo file> dsh -Mac unzip activity.xo -d /home/olpc/Activities dsh -Mac rm activity.xo
