make_net_recovery script

[Charles Holland]

There was a posting last week from Mike having a problem with error messages due to the /cdrom.

Using a script I found a while back, I believe donated by Bill Hassell previously, it has been a very low priority to convert this to a make_net_recovery script. But I addressed it last week and here is the results.

Items that will of course need to be changed will be the EMAILADDR and any options on the OPT1 and OPT2 environment variables.

It does work quite nice and will be going into production this weekend. It will be triggered by a "master script" on a control server that incorperates A Clay Stephensons script caljd.sh which only allows this make_net_recovery script to run on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month.

Hope someone can find use for it.

Thanks for giving back to the itrc forums. I personally appreciate your contribution.

Well after I posted the first part I thought maybe someone might like to peak at the "master script" that starts the process. While not 100% certain, I believe that it will limit the number of make_net_recovery process to only 2 at a time, therebye not "swamping" the Ignite server.
