Useful scripts for managing WDK-based websites. These currently include hard-coded paths so strict requirements for directory structure and naming apply.

This is a temporary repository. In the future these scripts will be bundled into an RPM.

cattail

Place a tail on standard log files used by a WDK-based website that has been installed using EuPathDB file naming and location conventions.

Run cattail without options for help.

Requirements

• Apache logs in /var/log/httpd/
• Tomcat logs in /usr/local/tomcat_instances/<instance_name>/logs/<webapp_name>
• Jason Fesler's xtail in /usr/local/bin

xtail

Perl script by Jason Fesler

rebuilder

Rebuilds an existing WDK-based website owned by the invoking user.

Run rebuilder without options for help.

Requirements

• java in one of the locations listed in the jpath search path hard-coded in the script.
• $ORACLE_HOME in one of the locations listed in the oracle_paths hard-coded in the script.
• sudoers permissions to grant users permissions to manage httpd. See below.
• wsf.prop and webapp.prop in the website's etc directory

ibuilder

Rebuild an existing WDK-based integration website owned by joeuser.

Run ibuilder without options for help.

Requirements

• joeuser account. This does not need to be a login account (can use /bin/false for the shell) unless you plan to also use it for Jenkins jobs.
• The site files must be owned by joeuser
• ibuilder is a wrapper on rebuilder so all the rebuilder requirements also apply.
• sudoers permissions to grant users permissions to run ibuilder as joeuser. See below.

example /etc/sudoers

    User_Alias APIDB_DEV_GROUP = joeuser, %www, %cbil
    
    Cmnd_Alias HTTPD_TOMCAT = /usr/local/bin/instance_manager, /etc/init.d/httpd
    
    APIDB_DEV_GROUP ALL = (joeuser) NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/ibuilder, NOPASSWD:HTTPD_TOMCAT
