May miss keys other than the given or primary key, but should work for a lot of common cases where a bad entry's been removed from DB but lingers in cache.
Email and tag params added to the end:
setup_status_net.sh mysite 'My Site' 'owner@example.com' '1user'
(If multiple tags are needed, separate them with a pipe "|". Be sure to quote properly!)
New parameters for setup.cfg need to be set:
export PHPBASE=/var/www/statusnet
export WILDCARD=example.net
export MAILTEMPLATE=/etc/statusnet/newsite-mail.txt
export MAILSUBJECT="Your new StatusNet site"
$PHPBASE is the base dir for a callable StatusNet install, used to run command-line scripts for user setup.
$WILDCARD is the wildcard domain, needed to build a full server name to pass into command-line scripts.
$MAILTEMPLATE points to a file containing an e-mail message template. '$nickname', '$sitename', and '$userpass' can be used in the template for substitution.
$MAILSUBJECT is the subject line for said email.
To skip sending an email on creation, leave $MAILTEMPLATE blank or point to a non-existing file.
queuectl.php --update -s<site>
queuectl.php --stop
queuectl.php --restart
Default control channel is /topic/statusnet-control. For external utilities to send a site update ping direct to the queue server, connect via Stomp and send a message formatted thus:
update:<nickname>
(Nickname here, *not* server hostname! The rest of the queues will be updated to use nicknames later.)
Note that all currently-connected queue daemons will get these notifications, including both queuedaemon.php and xmppdaemon.php. (XMPP will ignore site update requests for sites that it's not handling.)
Limitations:
* only implemented for stomp queue manager so far
* --update may not yet handle a changed server name properly
* --restart won't reload PHP code files that were already loaded at startup. Still need to stop and restart the daemons from 'outside' when updating code base.
Queue handlers for XMPP individual & firehose output now send their XML stanzas
to another output queue instead of connecting directly to the chat server. This
lets us have as many general processing threads as we need, while all actual
XMPP input and output go through a single daemon with a single connection open.
This avoids problems with multiple connected resources:
* multiple windows shown in some chat clients (psi, gajim, kopete)
* extra load on server
* incoming message delivery forwarding issues
Database changes:
* queue_item drops 'notice_id' in favor of a 'frame' blob.
This is based on Craig Andrews' work branch to generalize queues to take any
object, but conservatively leaving out the serialization for now.
Table updater (preserves any existing queued items) in db/rc3to09.sql
Code changes to watch out for:
* Queue handlers should now define a handle() method instead of handle_notice()
* QueueDaemon and XmppDaemon now share common i/o (IoMaster) and respawning
thread management (RespawningDaemon) infrastructure.
* The polling XmppConfirmManager has been dropped, as the message is queued
directly when saving IM settings.
* Enable $config['queue']['debug_memory'] to output current memory usage at
each run through the event loop to watch for memory leaks
To do:
* Adapt XMPP i/o to component connection mode for multi-site support.
* XMPP input can also be broken out to a queue, which would allow the actual
notice save etc to be handled by general queue threads.
* Make sure there are no problems with simply pushing serialized Notice objects
to queues.
* Find a way to improve interactive performance of the database-backed queue
handler; polling is pretty painful to XMPP.
* Possibly redo the way QueueHandlers are injected into a QueueManager. The
grouping used to split out the XMPP output queue is a bit awkward.
* need lower case in some places
* update target path
Not in production yet at translatewiki.net - need some Translate extension code changes to get YAML config support for Gettext first.
Key changes:
* Initialization code moved from common.php to StatusNet class;
can now switch configurations during runtime.
* As a consequence, configuration files must now be idempotent...
Be careful with constant, function or class definitions.
* Control structure for daemons/QueueManager/QueueHandler has been refactored;
the run loop is now managed by IoMaster run via scripts/queuedaemon.php
IoManager subclasses are woken to handle socket input or polling, and may
cover multiple sites.
* Plugins can implement notice queue handlers more easily by registering a
QueueHandler class; no more need to add a daemon.
The new QueueDaemon runs from scripts/queuedaemon.php:
* This replaces most of the old *handler.php scripts; they've been refactored
to the bare handler classes.
* Spawns multiple child processes to spread load; defaults to CPU count on
Linux and Mac OS X systems, or override with --threads=N
* When multithreaded, child processes are automatically respawned on failure.
* Threads gracefully shut down and restart when passing a soft memory limit
(defaults to 90% of memory_limit), limiting damage from memory leaks.
* Support for UDP-based monitoring: http://www.gitorious.org/snqmon
Rough control flow diagram:
QueueDaemon -> IoMaster -> IoManager
QueueManager [listen or poll] -> QueueHandler
XmppManager [ping & keepalive]
XmppConfirmManager [poll updates]
Todo:
* Respawning features not currently available running single-threaded.
* When running single-site, configuration changes aren't picked up.
* New sites or config changes affecting queue subscriptions are not yet
handled without a daemon restart.
* SNMP monitoring output to integrate with general tools (nagios, ganglia)
* Convert XMPP confirmation message sends to use stomp queue instead of polling
* Convert xmppdaemon.php to IoManager?
* Convert Twitter status, friends import polling daemons to IoManager
* Clean up some error reporting and failure modes
* May need to adjust queue priorities for best perf in backlog/flood cases
Detailed code history available in my daemon-work branch:
http://www.gitorious.org/~brion/statusnet/brion-fixes/commits/daemon-work
* Mostly punctuation updates so that the same message is used consistently in all of StatusNet.
* Some cases of "Title Case" removed, because that does not appear to be used consistently.
Since we added locations to the database, some users may have
location strings in their profiles but not structured locations. This
script updates the locations for single users or for all users.
Used to query user's emails.
Mostly used for administration, to see if a user requesting something is who they say.
Also, some people assume that the admin knows this data, and says things like:
"If you could do _____ with the account connected to this email".
It'd be nice if we could do that without raw SQL.
