Subject: [9fans] cpu(1) design...
Date: Fri,  9 Nov 2007 12:50:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <691e7ca02963cc4348bfb160ec4357de@quintile.net> (raw)

Trivial questions about cpu(1).

was there ever any thought that cpu could/should put you onto
the least loaded machine in your authdom (or an option to do this)
or is this breaking the one tool does one job principal?

If so has anyone ever done this (not difficult) or is the idea that
you would only want to cpu(1) to another machine because of the services
or network topology you (as a human) want rather than just to find more grunt.

seccondly - why does cpu not have a default argument? this constantly
irritates me, I often cpu as a different user, to run a command and go
to a machine other than that defined by /env/cpu but no matter which
I want I always need to flag the argument.

just idle curiosity, its Friday after all.

-Steve
