new_rack_pbsmon.py depends on hostname configuration and is installed by default

Description
It seems that by default, a make install installs the new_rack_pbsmon.py script into $prefix/bin/pbsmon. While this would seem okay, the new_rack_pbsmon.py depends on hostname formats to detect where the nodes are located in the individual racks. The problem here is that not all installation use this hostname format, and users will have to edit the resulting pbsmon script before it will work correctly.
On the other hand, the example pbsmon.py runs without changes regardless of the hostname configuration.
I suggest that a make install installs the pbsmon.py as $prefix/bin/pbsmon instead as it will work on a wider variety of clusters, and give the impression of a cleaner out-of-the-box install.
The quick fix here, to avoid installing new_rack_pbsmon.py is to remove the sara_install target from the Makefile's install line.

No Problem, We (Penguin Computing) is planning on releasing pbs_python with our TORQUE RPMS. Is it safe to assume pbs_python is still being actively developed and maintained? -Joshua Bernstein Senior Software Engineer Penguin Computing pbs_python wrote: > #18: new_rack_pbsmon.py depends on hostname configuration and is installed by > default > --------------------------------------------+----------------------- -------- > Reporter: jbernstein@… | Owner: bas > Type: task | Status: assigned > Priority: major | Component: pbs > Version: 3.2.0 | Keywords: > --------------------------------------------+----------------------- -------- > Changes (by bas): > > * owner: somebody => bas > * status: new => assigned > * type: defect => task > > > Comment: > > Thanks for reporting.

So you can include it without any problems. Regards, -- Bas van der Vlies basv@sara.nl<mailto:basv@sara.nl>

Thanks for reporting. It is a left over from the SARA install (debian package). In the next release will be the old behavior again.
