[AG-TECH] AG2.2 networking configuration

[Brian Corrie]

Hi Ivan,

Speaking of replacements for programs in AG 2.2 I noticed a problem 
recently. In 2.1.2 when my PIG node changed locations (home to office 
etc) there was an app that started up that changed the GLOBUS_HOSTNAME 
variable. I am not sure what it was called but it detected a change in 
the networking config and asked if I wanted to change the variable... On 
2.2 this does not seem to happen - is that correct? I had to go into the 
environment variables and change it explicitly to get it to work from 
home...

Do you still have that app or some sort of replacement for it?

Cheers,

Brian
