    v20 v21  
    66orbitHandler is an alternative framework for controlling the ORBIT lab. It consists of a series of console commands that that operate on subsets of nodes. The major features:
    77
    8  * Precisely specifiy large, intricate node sets
     8 * Precisely specify large, intricate node sets
    99 * Send specific commands to each node in the set
    10  * Distributed ftp equivilant
     10 * Distributed ftp equivalent
    1111 * Entirely command line driven
    1212 * No global grid operations
    … …  
    106106   === Command: orbitImage ===
    107107
    108 Makes use of images created using 'saveNode' that is part of the original NodeHandler framework. Only one set of nodes may be imaged at the same time. The useage for the command is:

    115115
    116 Allows the user to turn on and off a set of nodes on the grid without affecting those nodes not in the specified node set. This function will block and provide status updates until every node in the set has either turned on or off. The useage for the command is:

    151151
    152 These commands are identical, except that 'orbitCmdSeq' executes the user command sequentially and orbitCmd executes the command simultaneously. Each of these commands will replace '%x' and '%y' with the x and y coordinates for all the nodes in the nodeset. The useage of this command looks like this:
