[edit] Rebooting Archer

Archer is the wiki server and also runs

• http://budget.archer.rit.edu
• http://trac.archer.rit.edu
• AG Bridge Server
• WebDAV for Gurcharan's calendar

To restore the services after boot up:

1. start a screen session with "screen -d -R"
2. run "apache2ctl start" (for apache + webDAV)
3. execute "./start_screen_services.sh"
4. detach screen by pressing "ctrl+a, then d"

[edit] Events

[edit] Hosting

Setup has become increasingly difficult with our lab space disappearing. We now host RC Events in the IT Collaboratory in 17-3110.

Make sure you bring the following with the mobile cart:

1. 3 Cameras
2. 1 Projector
3. Wireless Mic Setup
4. Echo Canceler (Don't have one yet)
5. The rest of the mobile node

[edit] Recording

1. Login to Archer as User
2. Re-attach your screen session
   1. screen -x (or screen -d -r)
3. Switch to a new window (or zero if it's free)
   1. ^a c (new screen window)
4. Switch to the /recordings/TO_PROCESS/ directory
5. Create a new directory for your new recording
6. Execute AGVCR
   1. Example: agvcr -a 224.2.145.71/58502/127 -v 224.2.208.77/62102/127 -r -f mar14-vtheatre.agvcr --no-gui
   2. Match the addresses to the addresses in the RAT and Vic main windows
