We're seeing some weird problems related to the TCL [cd] function. We have
a script that does:
cd ~nsadmin/anteq/new
set mailmsgs [lsort [glob -nocomplain *]]
It seems like there are race conditions here. We have a bunch of threads
that start up at once, and 99% of the time this code works, but sometimes
"mailmsgs" is set to a directory listing for the wrong directory.
Anybody else seen weirdness with cd?
Thanks. -Jim

I'm having some difficulty getting Sybase (11.0.3.3.1 on Linux) to talk to
AOLServer (2.3.2). I can't find the documentation on setting the
'datasource' variable in the nsd.ini file.
Within the AOLServer documentation, there are references to Postgres,
Illustra, and SOLID, but nothing on Sybase.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I never use cd, actually; I build fully qualified filenames -- but the ~
resolution is based on your username; are you sure that you're always the
same user? Just a thought. That's the only thing I can think of.

I had. To solve this problem, I create shell scripts which accept directory
name as an argument, f.ex. in your case,=20
create glob.csh:
#!/usr/bin/csh
ls $1/$2
and change Tcl code to:
set mailmsgs [exec glob.csh ~nsadmin/anteq/new *]
Hope AOL team can fix it in the future release.

The datasource looks something like this:
DataSource=HOSTFNORD2_SYB:aolserver
Here's a complete setup that I'm using:
[ns/db/pool/sybase]
Driver=extsyb
Connections=2
DataSource=HOSTFNORD2_SYB:aolserver
User=markd
Password=peekaboo
Verbose=On
LogSQLErrors=On
ExtendedTableInfo=On
Where the equivalent isql invocation is:
isql -S HOSTFNORD2_SYB -P peekaboo -U markd
use aolserver
Cheers,

Ok, thanks Mark.
cd is useful for a couple of reason with [glob]: if the directory is
large, using something like:
set dir /home/nsadmin/servers/rl/files/spider
foreach df [glob $dir/*] {
set f [string range $f [expr [string length $dir]+1] end]
}
is a pain compared to:
cd /home/nsadmin/servers/rl/files/spider
foreach f [glob *] {
do something with $f
}
I'd vote you remove cd altogether if it doesn't work 100%, especially since
it works 99% and could cause major problems:
cd /home/nsadmin/servers/rl/files/spider
foreach f [glob *] {
ns_unlink $f
}
We actually have code that does this. I'd sort of hate to wipe out the
wrong directory because another thread happens to be doing a cd...
