	The SCSI init program
	=====================



A small Tcl/Tk program for the administration of the SCSI bus. A simple
clicking surface for the tap-lazy users.


To me it is frequently occurred which I the computer runs has and my box is,
with SCSI CD-Burner and fixed disk out. Now does one need the fixed disk,
which now? All applications terminate and the computer boats,:-(( functioned,
\"Windoof like is however very complex and time-corrosive, correct \ ".


Another alternative is to be opened a root Shell and then the command echo
 \"scsi for ADD single DEVICE 0 00 05 00 \ " > / proc/scsi/scsi into the
 keyboard already chops and gehts. That is correctly which for keyboard hackers,
 for these people is this program meant! I make that also gladly times, but this
 solution did not satisfy me so correctly.

Additionally, who deals with itself with the Kernel which it white which one on
 / proc/scsi/scsi which wrote so intensively can?

There me the idea of this small Tcl/Tk program came to write, what is to
 facilitate the daily work.

Thus with this program you can the individual DEVICES of the SCSI of bus hang up
 and again notices.

Thus you can do the computer run, which scanners or another device switch on and
 initialize!

Afterwards you can operate with the device, the fixed disk mounten or with the
 scanner scanning.

If you are finished with your work and if the SCSI device wants to again switch
 off whereby the computer to continue is, proceed as follows:


Umounten you the fixed disk or terminate you the work with the scanner then
 remove the device from the bus (menu option removing) and thus can you off the
 device switch.

No device can be removed from the bus if this device is still occupied, which
 does not go simply and also bad errors would generate.


Configuration of the program:
----------------------

Here there are several possibilities:

The computer with all available SCSI devices raising and then the program and
 only on \"scannen \ " and then on \"speichern \ " go.

Edit click and then the available SCSI DEVICE enter, whereby in one { } always a
 DEVICE is, the numbers are the folgede sequence:

   SCSI-Controller    Channel    ID     LUN

also:    {0 01 02 00}   ->   SCSI-Contoller 0 Channel 1 ID 2 and LUN 0

Whereby the 01 1 should not be, so that those is always alike to width of an
 entry.

Example:
{0 00 00 00} {0 00 01 00}

A computer with a CONTROLLER, a fixed disk ID 0 and a DCRom ID 1. A SCSI scanner
 with ID 5 attached to the bus looks the configuration file as follows now:

{0 00 00 00} {0 00 01 00} {0 00 05 00}

is nevertheless OK ONE like that!  :-\)\)

P.S.  Memory do not forget!


Functionality of the Buttons:
-----------------------------

EXIT: Program terminate

INIT: Desired DEVICES click removing: If the disk is out-hung (umount), the
 DEVICE can be logged out and switched off then.

SCANNING: The bus to scanning, results display. If you select after \"Scannen \
 " \"speichern \ ", with the next start again the same DEVICES are displayed.

READING: The Konfigdatei reads in and on init goes.

MEMORY: The DEVICES with \"Init \ " to be displayed, are entered into the
 Konfigfile and displayed with the next start again.


P.S. On / proc/scsi/scsi only root may write. That is to be operated however
 still for a long time no reason basically as roots. One can start or with sudo
 call it thus more eintweder in one root-brightly.

Much fun thereby!
