[HECnet] Re: Topology 28-Dec-2011

Rok, the spreadsheet that I distributed also has a sheet called 'hosts'. 
I'm willing to expand that list though I have the basty feeling it's going to take a lot more time than the project itself.   
The information is not readily available thru NCP. Possibly NCL has a relevant command but if so my ncl is *very* rusty and it seems I'm pretty much the only phase V owner. 
NCP gives limited information: the set exec node and sho exec (char) commands only tell you the os name. For vms it tells you what platform. 

The excel file contains this information for each node in a single cell:

<address>-<name>-<hardware>-<os name>

Mark the hyphens: that way I can manipulate the csv file easily on vms with f$element ;-)

So anyone who mails me node data in the format listed gets data included in the file.   What do you think?

  Sorry, I'm confused.   Is it your plan to keep a manually updated list of
all of HECnet?   Are you looking for data on all known nodes, even end nodes
and ones that don't normally run 24x7?   And how much data do you want for
each node?   OS? Hardware type?   Geographic location?

  That's fine with me and I'm not complaining in the least if that's the
case!   OTOH, I thought you were making a list of the active routing nodes,
which is an entirely different matter.

    Well, both. I generated list of active nodes and I believe it will not be too
hard to manually update it from time to time.
    I can add whatever interesting information and I can add any number of
editors. Any volunteers? Hans?
