Some sites use individual operator accounts in the control room,

NSLS2 falls into this category. We also have home directories shared

between computers. This has led (unsurprisingly) to people leaving CSS

running on one machine, and forgetting which one.

So far it seems like we must either have separate workspaces for each

machine, or have a way of finding "lost" instances of CSS.

@Kay, I didn't know about "-share_link" which seems like it has good

possibilities for helping manage separate workspaces.

I'm also planning to modify our wrapper script to write a file with the

host name.

Has anyone else had/solved this problem?

Also, has anyone found a way to add projects to a workspace

automatically or from the command line?

We also use this for per-machine configuration.

Other CAJ users might be interested in adding.

-vmargs -Djava.net.perferIPv4Stack=true

Otherwise CAJ sometimes tries to use IPv6 broadcasts for name lookup.

Thanks,
Michael
