I am setting up a Distributed Processing environment using cdsqmgr.

I have the following lines in my ~/.cdsenv

asimenv.distributed copyMode boolean t
asimenv.distributed remoteShell string "ssh"
asimenv.distributed loginShell cyclic "csh"

I found a cdsRemote.scr in /usr/cadence/IC610/share/cdsssetup/cdsRemsh and followed the instructions there. Somewhere in LINE 43 of this file, I see:

remoteSystem=rsh
#remoteSystem=ssh    # uncomment this line to configure for generic ssh

Since I do not have write privileges in /usr/cadence..., I copied cdsRemote.scr to my home ~/cdssetup/cdsRemsh because the instructions at the top of the file said so:

The default behaviour of the cdsRemote facility can be modified by
copying the file to a directory with a higher serach precedence
(such as $HOME/cdssetup/cdsRemsh/cdsRemote.scr) and then modifying
the copy.

And so I modified the copy to read:

remoteSystem=ssh

Checklist

I have done the following necessary setup:

1. Add to my ~/.cshrc

   setenv LBS_CLUSTER_MASTER calvin
   

2. Create a queue-config file with the following contents

   fast 2
   calvin 2
   hobbes 2
   

3. Kill all cds... processes owned by root

   $ ps -u root | grep cds
   

4. Run cdsqmgr as root

   $ su
   $ cdsqmgr ~/queue-config
   

Testing

Now, when I test using adptest, I get the following output:

BEGIN Analog Design Environment Distributed Processing Setup Test

    PASSED.

Please be patiend - the remaining portion of the test takes some time.

Checking my mail

I check my mail on /var/spool/mail and see something like this:

Debug: ExecCommand:
/usr/cadence/IC610/share/cdsssetup/cdsRemsh/cdsRemote.scr shell
hobbes ... <truncated> ...

Question

Why is the cdsqmgr still using the rsh to login to the executiong host, when I already set it to ssh in .cdsenv?

Why is the cdsqmgr still using the default cdsRemote.scr, when I already copied a modified file in ~/cdssetup/cdsRemsh?
