Customising the scripts for a cluster of machines

If you want to customise the HEPiX scripts for a cluster of machines, each member of the cluster must be able to read files in /etc/hepix/cluster. Of course, this is your private directory. If the person who is administering each member of the cluster is different from you, make sure /etc/hepix/cluster is a link to a mounted file system on which are the real files otherwise use rdist, supper or other distribution tools to 'push' the files to each member of the cluster.

If you want to customise, you can use the same file names as described in 3.1.

Moreover, if in 3.1.1 at system level, the variable CLUSTER_DIR is set to something different from /etc/hepix/cluster then you will have to put the files under the value set in CLUSTER_DIR

You can control and ask the system administrator of each machine (if not yourself) to update the value of CLUSTER_DIR to another place.

Apart from that you have the same way to customise the cluster level as explained in 3.1.
