My main job is customizing and scripting for Tivoli with perl. Now they ask me to write some login scripts where kixtart makes the work faster and easier. I found that kixtart 2001 have a lot of interesting new features and I wonder if it is safe to use it on a production enviroment. Please tell me your opinion.

My opinion - I'd wait till the next release - then if there's no major issues reported on da-board here after a week or two - I'd go for it !

Maybe this goes without saying.

I would tend to agree with Shawn with the following caveat: test the heck out of it! I have found some of our code to be incorrect.

Thanks!

nova:

The nice thing (in your case) is that you don't have any legacy 3.x kixscripts to support - your starting with a clean slate - so you have a better (less-risky) opportunity then most folks to test the beta in "production". I mean - depending on what you'll be doing in your script - if the beta works today (for you) it should work tomorrow as well (famous last words )

But the other thing the risk that the beta will change prior to being finalized - in which case you'll have legacy beta scripts - oh god - my head hurts.

Shawn.

your last sentence shawn was the final breakdown to my already waving mental peace.
Maybe the good water nymph of code show me the answer tonight other else :

code:

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icons put your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the gable at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
"Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Dear,

The amount of possible problems is decrease dramatically.
At the moment we haven't checked our OLE code.
Greetings.
