perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hi Aaron,

I ran the backup script on one of our production pSs and now I see what's 
going on.  The script appears to be working as designed.

Where things went awry for me:
The first pS I tried was a test machine on which I hadn't configured the 
admin info.  The pS did, however, have the file
  /opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/etc/administrative_info
with a single entry:
  site_project=pS-NPToolkit-3.2.2
Since the script looks for all lines EXCEPT that line in the 
administrative_info file, it decided the file didn't exist and quit.

Once I filled in and saved Host information with Org Name, Location, Admin 
Name and Email, the script ran to completion.

Thanks,
Kathy
