[Dsmt-support] dsmtviewer docs

[Adams, R. <rob...@in...>]

Sorry about the lack of documentation.  I'll fix that in the next day or
two.  As far as the parameters are, the --help says:

View the DSMT installation state of a slice
Invocation: DSMTViewer=20
        --slice sliceName
        --service serviceName
        --password servicePassword
        --prefetch
        --noPrefetch
        --config jClient.xml
        --version
        --help
        If slice is not specified, it listens to all slices.

Normally the views displays all installation status for all slices.  If
you only want to watch your slice, you specify your slice name in the
--slice parameter.  This slice name appears in the dialog window at the
bottom of the view.  This dialog can be changed to name of the slice,
specify a list of slices (separated by commas) or set the value to "any"
to see all slice installation status.

To use PsEPR, you must log in using your Jabber account
(http://jabber.services.planet-lab.org/) and you can specify that
account and password with the --service and --password parameters or as
a 'default-service' specified in your "~/.psepr/jClient.xml"
configuration file.  (see
http://www.psepr.org/php/docs/jClientGuide.php#jClientConfigurationFile)
.

'prefetch' is not implemented yet but it will control whether the
application tries to fetch the history of the installation process from
an event storage service.

--config changes the name of the configuration file used for this
invocation of the viewer.  If this file is specified, the normal
configuration files are not read.

--version and --help just print out information and exit.

Does this answer your questions?
