[Orca-users] More questions from an orca newbie

[Charles Dennett]

From: Charles Dennett <charles.dennett at kodak.com>

Pardon these questions but I'm new to orca.

1.  Installed orca yesterday.  Grabbed the latest orca and orcallator.se.
Last night I noticed Blair and put new orcallator.se and .cfg files
on the ftp site.  I grabbed those.  Orcallator.se added a couple
of fields to its output.  When I installed the new version orca made
some complaints about the number of fields in the data file.  Since
I had just installed everything earlier in the day, I simply deleted
the data file and rrd files and started from scratch.  I did not
noticed any additional graphs.  Even did a diff on the new and
previous versions of the config file to check.  Perhaps the new
data collected by orcallatoe is not used yet?

What's the proper way to add a new orcallator.se script if it changes
the output from the previous version?

2.  Just after midnight I got several email messages saying the percol
files for the previous day was missing.  Actually they was just gzipped
by either orca or orcallator.  Will I get these emails every day?

3.  I was playing around with orca this morning and had to restart it.
It forked off gunzip processes for each servers gzipped percol files
from the previous day.  The gunzip processes don't seem to go away.
Will these continue to build up or will they eventually go away?

4.   In reading through the archives for this list on the onelist.com
web site I came across a message I sent last night plus a reply
from Blair.  I never received the reply in my mailbox so I don't
know if there's a mail problem somewhere or not.  I have yet to
receive any email from this list, although I only joined it yesterday.
(Wait a minute.  Maybe our corporate eamil spam filters are kicking
messages out.  I'll have to check with my friend who is in charge of
that.)

Thanks for any help and for putting up with my questions.
