Aaron: /* Current Computer Support Student Assistants */

<big>'''Welcome to the Student Support WIKI.'''</big>

IT Student Assistants will use this site for documentation of systems, services, processes, procedures, etc...

== Basic Overview ==
Employment of students: Students Assistants are employed by the CNT to assist in routine and menial tasks. Student also work on web or programming projects as directed by the CNT. Student support needs (and student employment) are evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis.

Expectations of students: Each school quarter (or whenever the students schedule changes) the student will post their working schedule on this section of the web site (see below). Students are expected to notify the CNT prior to any deviations from the schedule (sick days, doctors appointments, midterms, finals). In general, there is never a problem with missing some number of days, as long as the CNT is notified ahead of time.

General goals (or mission) of the Computer Support Assistant position: Your overriding goal is to make the CNTs job easier. Secondary to that will be streamlining and documenting the job you have done to make it easier for future students in this position.

General Schedule of operations for students by quarter: The [[Newly Employed Student Assistants]] page has a rough outline of what you can expect over the course of a quarter.

Aaron: Created page with '==Summary of What we want in the ICSN/WaveForm Display 2008-11-19== This project started in the 2007-2008 school year with Mekhin desgining the program itself. He graduated that …'

==Summary of What we want in the ICSN/WaveForm Display 2008-11-19==
This project started in the 2007-2008 school year with Mekhin desgining the program itself. He graduated that year and so I have been wokring on it this year. My part hasn't been in the programming, but instead the documentation and physical set-up. The CISN/Waveform Display is a project by NEES which is a subset of ICS. The CISN portion will show near real-time earthquake activity, while the Wavefom display will show real time seismic waves at various location around California.The set up should explain about both the displays, ICS, and possibly NEES. NOTE: It maybe wise to look into using launchd or launchctl for keeping the display running and starting on boot

This is the [http://support.crustal.ucsb.edu/stadm/projects/CISN-Display/OldIndex.html Original documentation] on all all CISN/ Waveform Disply Information 
This is Mehkin's [http://support.crustal.ucsb.edu/stadm/projects/CISN-Display/CisnNotes.PDF Original hand written notebook] about his work on the project

==Current Status of Production==
Current Status Summary 2008-11-17

 Display Stand: done
*Can hold one or two screens as neccesary, built by nick webster in the Geology Machine shop. (Document the building!) To see the Documentation of the Display Stand click [http://support.crustal.ucsb.edu/stadm/projects/CISN-Display/StandDoc.html this] link.

 CISN Kiosk Mode: done
*Mekhin did this (mostly) but I had to do some refining

 Documentation of how to create CISN in Kiosk Mode: done
*Mekhin left documentation concerning all he did, but much of it is unclear, especially to those (like me) with little computer experience. I am reading it now, putting it in accesible language, while attempting to install it on the computer, "ruby" NEW: Am working on a shell script to automate quit finder, will also kill dock, works well.
*The only thing left to do for this is create a launchd script which:
**starts CISN Display running coninuously
**Kills finder while! CISN is loading (otherwise it doesnt stay dead)
**restarts the dispaly every night to make sure windows aren't screwed up

 Waveform Display Program: undone
*We need to meet with Jamie and see how antelope works
*Some questions/concerns
**How do we lock users out of messing with the controls
**We need to document its install process
**Ask Aaron where to put in the

 CISN/WAVEFORM Display (Physically): undone BUT the Temps is up
*I have designed a layout to go around the screen which contains information about the Kiosk. However, this must be approved by Jamie, and he must provide me with the information to insert. I have completed many of the info sections, I emailed Jamie and I need to get info on the UCSB Eq site, the Northridge EQ site and the program antelope so I can write thier blurbs.

 Touchpad for the Kiosk: done
*indent we have a nice touchpad mouse, but we have to...
*joe built us a nice trackpad holder, I need to document it's desgin. it cost about 300 bucks

<div id="2"></div>
<li>Here we must set up three different accounts</li>
<ol>
<li>create two admin accounts, "Administrator" which you will have Aaron come and make the password, and "cisnadmin" which you should put the password at "1" for now</li>
<li>then create a user account named "cisndisplay"</li>
<li>I think it is best to do all operations via the cisndisplay account, this may take longer due to repeated password typing but it will ensure that cisndisplay has access to all installed things.</li>
</ol>
<div id="3"></div>
<li>Go online to the [http://www.cisn.org/ CISN website] and install the CISN display</li>

<li>Setting up launchd so it runs the CISN display (NOTE: This is now unneccesary as we restart it with a cron job. The code is commented out for this but still in the file accesible via jedit)</li>
<div id="5"></div>
<li>Configure CISN Display to its appropriate settings</li>
<ol>
<li>Here is the [http://support.crustal.ucsb.edu/stadm/projects/CISN-Display/QWClientConfig.xml config file]. Save this to the desktop under the exact name (make sure it doesnt have ".xml.txt" or something)</li>

<ol>
<li>go to the [http://unsanity.com/haxies/fruitmenu fruitmenu website] and download it.</li>
<li>we already have a license so you dont need to buy, just download. it didnt even ask me for the info, but just in case.....</li>
<li>go through and let it install where it wants, only install what they say is neccesary (not that crash thing).</li>
<li>once installed go to "system preferences" (You can find this with finder) and click on the fruitmenu icon which should be in the lower left</li>
<li>once in go to the applemenu section and drag everything, except for shutdown, from the left side over to the right. keep the program open!</li>
<li>open finder and search for "airport admin utility", drag this from the finder menu to the left box in the applmenu table you were just at, hit apply.</li>
<li>now you can exit out of both of those and click on the apple icon in the very top left to make sure what we did worked</li>

<li>If you wish to know more about the contents of the file, click here to learn the Specifics of how it works</li>
<li>Now we will need to make cron jobs to continuely run the scripts, first log out and log in as cisnadmin</li>
<li>open a terminal (we are about to allow non super users to use the reboot command) type "sudo bash" it will prompt for password probably</li>
<li>then type "chmod +s /sbin/shutdown" then type "/sbin/shutdown", and it should simply reboot so u can now sign in as cisndisplay</li>
<li>once in as cisn display and use the finder and open up the terminal window, try the "sbuin/shutdown" command again ( to make sure it works)</li>
<li>now , download the [http://support.crustal.ucsb.edu/stadm/projects/CISN-Display/QWClientConfig.xml cisn config file] to your desktop again so we can make a back which copies itself in the config file every night, create a folder under documents entitled called "BackupConf" and put it in here Back</li>
<li>then go open the terminal again</li>
<li>type "crontab -e"
hit "a" to be able to write one the first line type "*/5 * * * * ~/bin/cisnmsater begin" then press enter
on this second line type "58 23 * * * ~/bin/cisnnaster mvconf" then press enter
on this third line type "59 23 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now" then press enter</li>
<li>then click esc, followed by "shift+z" twice</li>
<li>in the terminal type "cd bin" enter, "./cisnmaster stop" enter. This will casue the temporary stoppage of cisn trying to consistently boot itself. Know the [[#Usable Controls from CISNMaster to Manipulate Program| cisnmaster commands]]!</li>
<li>exit out of the terminal and click on the CISN-Disply icon which contols the computer and is located on the desktop</li>
<li>right click on the applications icon and selcet get info</li>
<li>scroll down to the "owners and permission section" and change the owner to cisnadmin, you will need to use the password which is now "1"</li>
<li>now open up the applications folder and try to delete the chess game or something unimportant, it should ask permission. Now we know it works!</li>
<li>use the finder to open system preferences, click on the accounts icon</li>
<li>select login items under cisn-display and select the plus button</li>
<li>search for bin and select startdisplay.command, this will make the ./cisnmaster rmblock run on start up of the machine</li>
<li>sign in as cisnadmin and change the password to....... you and Aaron decide, dont post it here! write it down in office somewhere</li>
<li>I think you're all set now! lets learn how to run this computer from another computer via remote connection</li>

==Ideas on Setting up the Trackpad==
*This is all done, all I need to do is document it. did I document it....?

==Usable Controls from CISNMaster to Manipulate Program==
*remember you must have downloaded the commands first and they may not work unless all the directions above have been followed.
<ol>
<li>Find out the name of your machine from aaron, the current one is "ruby" so I will use ruby here in the examples.</li>
<li>open the terminal on your own computer and type "ssh cisndisplay@ruby.crustal.ucsb.edu" it will ask for the cisndispaly password, type 'er in!</li>
<li>type "cd bin"</li>
<li>type "./cisnmaster" follwed by a space and then any of these commands
*begin = kills finder and starts cisn dispaly in kiosk mode
*mvconf = deletes the current file in the conf folder and replaces it with our back up one in which is located in Documents/BackupConf, just in case its been compromised
*sdwn = shuts down the computer and restarts it
*stop = stops cronjob from restarting cisn every five minutes via file called "blockfile" which is placed on the desktop, will automatically undo itself in one hour. to manually restart the dispaly use "rmblock" disscussed below
*rmblock = manually gets ride of the blockfile and allows the "begin" command to restart cisn every minute. Also starts up
</ol>

Aaron:

<big>'''Welcome to the Student Support WIKI.'''</big>

IT Student Assistants will use this site for documentation of systems, services, processes, procedures, etc...

== Basic Overview ==
Employment of students: Students Assistants are employed by the CNT to assist in routine and menial tasks. Student also work on web or programming projects as directed by the CNT. Student support needs (and student employment) are evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis.

Expectations of students: Each school quarter (or whenever the students schedule changes) the student will post their working schedule on this section of the web site (see below). Students are expected to notify the CNT prior to any deviations from the schedule (sick days, doctors appointments, midterms, finals). In general, there is never a problem with missing some number of days, as long as the CNT is notified ahead of time.

General goals (or mission) of the Computer Support Assistant position: Your overriding goal is to make the CNTs job easier. Secondary to that will be streamlining and documenting the job you have done to make it easier for future students in this position.

General Schedule of operations for students by quarter: The following is a rough outline of what you can expect over the course of a quarter.

== For Newly Employed Student Assistants ==
* First day -
** Complete UCSB employment paperwork.
** Begin work on schedule, optimal are windows of 1.5 to 3.0 hours, for 3-5 days a week.
** Establish computer account(s) (NIS, Desktop, Support Website) with CNT.
** Introduction to support website.
* First week
** Browse student section of support website.
** Browse other sections of support website taking notes of items that are unclear or might need further documentation.
** Introduction to routine tasks.
** Gain familarity with routine tasks and begin completing those tasks each day.
** Begin learning APIs or languages that may be needed for upcoming projects (PHP, HTML).
* Second week and on - begin adding project(s) as available. Perform routine tasks as needed.
* 2nd to last week of quarter - work on documentation and organization of past quarters work.
* Last week of quarter - cleaning up and organizing.
** Remove unneeded temporary and development files. This includes intermediate stage source code.
** Verify that development projects still work and that the project code is in production location.
*** Run source
*** Check output
