scottwb / check_nfs.sh
Created February 24, 2010 22:41
Checks if NFS mount is wedged.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Checks to see if an NFS-mounted dir is wedged.
#
# Sometimes the NFS mount goes down. Other tactics like rpcinfo didn't
# pan out, so this hack is just based on trying to ls the mounted dir
# and timing that out if it doesn't respond quickly.
#
# Usage: check_nfs.sh <dirpath>

The aim of this document is to specify a common structure of how a
Ruby package distributed as source (that is, but not limited to,
development directories, version-controlled repositories, .tar.gz,
Gems, ...) should conform to.
(See RFC 2119 for use of MUST, SHOULD, SHALL.)
