NAME

bin/bogus.pl - flag possible errors in ROADS installation

SYNOPSIS

  bin/bogus.pl [-h]
 

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program tests the following aspects of the ROADS installation:

  1. expected global variables are present and correct

  2. directories which are needed are present

  3. external programs which are needed can be found

  4. directories which should be writeable actually are

Note that the tests may generate different results depending on the Unix user and group which the program is run under. If in doubt, it should be tested with the identity of any admin users who will be running components of the ROADS package from the command line, and as with the identities used to run any WWW servers which will have access to the ROADS server and database.
