New GemStone/Seaside Appliance

>    We're planning on releasing a new GemStone/Seaside Appliance before
> ESUG, and we could use some feedback on what we've put together.
> You can grab a copy at:
> http://glass-downloads.gemstone.com/gss24/FullGLASS-rc4.zip
>
> It's more of an 'appliance' than our previous version, i.e. it boots up
> in a console window, not in a GUI running Firefox.
> It's running Seaside 3.0 and GemStone/S 2.4.4.1 on a current Ubuntu 10.04.
>
> Let us know of any problems, but also anything you particularly
> like/dislike.

> Here's the README:
>
> GemStone starts automatically when this GLASS Appliance is booted.
> Seaside gems
> and statmonitor processes that are killed will be restarted automatically by
> daemontools. To stop the Seaside gems use:
>     sudo /etc/init.d/topaz stop
> To stop statmonitor processes use:
>     sudo /etc/init.d/statmon stop
>
> The IP Address of this Appliance is printed at boot time and when you
> login. Use:
>     ssh -Y glass@<IP Address>
> to login from your system. You may find that environment more usable
> than logging
> in directly to the VMware console.
>
> If you have problems logging in from GemTools, make sure you are using a
> current
> GemTools version, then use this command for assistance:
>     gemtools_login_help
>
> To control GemStone running under daemontools, use gemstone_start,
> gemstone_stop,
> and gemstone_status. You can use [sudo] /etc/init.d/topaz,
> /etc/init.d/gemstone,
> /etc/init.d/netldi, and /etc/init.d/statmon followed by
> start|stop|restart|status
> to control individual GemStone components.
>
> Two statmonitor processes are running. One monitors at 1-second
> intervals, the
> other at 60-second intervals. Their output is in stats/1-second and
> stats/60-second directories respectively. Running 'sudo
> /etc/init.d/statmon start'
> deletes 1-second stats older than 4 hours and 60-second stats older than
> 30 days.
>
> The directory GemStone_daemontools_setup contains the scripts that were
> used to
> create this GLASS appliance. You do not need to run them again.  We've
> left the
> scripts in case you want to experiment with creating different GLASS
> appliance
> configurations. Most of those scripts need to be run by root. The glass
> account
> is setup to use sudo. You cannot login as root directly.
>
> Since git is installed on this GLASS Appliance, you can obtain later
> updates to
> these scripts by:
>     cd GemStone_daemontools_setup
>     git stash         # To preserve any local changes you've made
>     git pull
>     git pop           # To restore any local changes you've made
>
> You may want to first see what changes you'll be pulling at:
