1. Cron Jobs
The portal source contains a crontab which should be installed and run under the hcoop user. This sends out monthly dues reminders and periodically generates semi-static pages.
2. Adding Machine
To support user requests for a machine, insert a WebNode into the database. The Debian version should be the release name (e.g. "squeeze").
INSERT INTO WebNode (id, name, descr, debian) VALUES ((select max(id)+1 from WebNode), $HOST, $DESCRIPTION, $DEBIANVERSION);
If the machine should show up in the portal for members to request permissions or packages on, add it to ActiveWebNodes.
insert into ActiveWebNode VALUES ((select id from WebNode where name = '$HOST'));
