=head1 NAME

B<splitter.pl>

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<splitter.pl> [B<-nd>] [B<-c> F<config_file>] [B<-f> F<experiment_tcl>]
    [F<experiment_tcl>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<splitter.pl> invokes the DETER experiment parser to split an annotated
experiment into multiple sub-experments and instantiates the sub-experiments on
their intended testbeds.  Annotation is accomplished using the
tb-set-node-testbed command, added to the parser.

The testbed labels are meaningful based on their presence in the testbeds file.
that file can be specified in the configuration file using the B<Testbeds>
directive, and defaults to F<./testbeds>.  The syntax is described below.

Most of the intermediate files are staged in a sub-directory of a temporary
files directory and deleted at the end of the script.  Specifying the B<-d>
flag on the command line avoids the deletion for debbugging.  By default the
temporary files directory is directory is F</tmp> and can be reset in the
configuration file using the B<Tmpdir> directive.  Intermediate files are
stored under a subdirectory formed by adding the process ID of the splitter
process.  For example, if the temporary files directory is F</tmp> and the
B<splitter.pl> process ID is 2323, the temporary files will be stored in
F</tmp/split2323/>.

The expreriment is split out into one experiment description per testbed in the
temporary directory named as F<experiment.testbed.tcl> where the experiment is
the experiment ID given in the configuration file, and the testbed is the
tb-set-node-testbed parameter for the nodes in the file.

If the B<-n> option is absent the sub-experiments are then instantiated on
their testbeds.  (Here B<-n> is analogous to its use in L<make(1)>).
Per-testbed parameters are set in the testbeds file.  Sub-experiments on
slave testbeds are instantiated in a random order, but the master testbed is
currently instantiated last.

Scripts to start federation (the federation kit) are copied into the local
experiment's tmp file - e.g., F</proj/DETER/exp/simple-split/tmp>.  These are
taken from the directory given by the B<ScriptDir> directive in the
configuration file.

If any sub-experiment fails to instantiate, the other sub-exeriments are
swapped out.

=head2 Configuration File

The configuration file is a simple attribute-value pair set of colon-separated
parameters and values.  A configuration file must be present, either specified
in the B<-c> flag or the default F<./splitter.conf>.  All the parameter names
are case insensitive, but should not include any whitespace.  Parameter values
may include whitespace, but no newlines.

Possible parameters are:

=over 5

=item Experiment

The name of the experiment on the various testbeds

=item Master

The master testbed label from the testbeds file, described below.

=item Testbeds

The testbeds file described below, giving per-testbed parameters.  If this
directive is absent the testbeds file defaults to F<./testbeds>

=item ScriptDir

Location of the default federation scripts, i.e. the federation kit.

=item GatewayPubkey

=item GatewaySecretKey

The names of the files containing secret and public keys to use in setting up
tunnels between testbeds.  These will eventually be automatically generated.

=item TmpDir

=item TempDir

The directory where temporary files are created.  These are synonyms, but
should both be specified, B<TmpDir> has priority.  If neither is specified,
F</tmp> is used.

=item SMBShare

The SMB share on the master testbed that will be exported to remote clients.

=item SMBUser

The experiment user to mount project directories as.  This user needs to be a
member of the exported experiment - that is one of the users in the project
containing this experiment on the master testbed.

=item Tclparse

The pathname to the experiment parsing program.  Only developers should set
this.

=item Tclsh

The pathname to the local oTcl shell.  Only developers should set
this.

=back

=head2 Testbeds file

The configuration file (F<./testbeds> unless overridden by B<-c>) is a
colon-separated set of parameters keyed by testbed name.  The fields, in order,
are:

=over 5

=item name

The testbed to which this line of parameters applies.

=item user

The user under which to make requests to this testbed.  The user running
B<splitter.pl> must be able to authenicate as this user under L<ssh(1)> to this
testbed.

=item host

The host name of the testbed's ops node.  The user calling B<splitter.pl> must
be able to execute commands on this host via L<ssh(1)>.

=item domain

The domain of nodes in this testbed (including the ops host).

=item project

The project under which to instantiate sub-experiments on this testbed.

=item gateway type

The node type for inter-testbed gateway nodes on this testbed.

=item experiment start (slave)

The start command to run on experimental nodes when this testbed is used as a
slave.  In all the start commands the string FEDDIR will be replaced by the
local experiment's federation scripts directory and the string GWCONF replaced
by the gatway configuration file.

=item gateway start (slave)

The start command to run on gateway nodes when this testbed is used as a slave.
The same string substitutions are made in this command as in experiment start.

=item experiment start (master)

The start command to run on experimental nodes when this testbed is used as a
master.  The same string substitutions are made in this command as in
experiment start.

=item gateway start (master)

The start command to run on gateway nodes when this testbed is used as a
master.  The same string substitutions are made in this command as in
experiment start.

=item gateway image

The disk image to be loaded on a gateway node on this testbed.

=back

The parsing of the testbeds is extremely simple.  Colons separate each
field and there is n provision for escaping them at this time.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

B<splitter.pl> does not directly make use of environment variables, but calls
out to L<ssh(1)> and (indirectly) to L<sh(1)>, which may be influenced by the
environment.

=head1 SEE ALSO
