PiDP 10 Services

Overview

This repository combines a set of useful scripts and services, to run on the PiDP-10 in order to make it easier to work with it and develop for it. These services can be installed on the PiDP-10 and automate tasks such as copying files onto the ITS operating system. These tools help automate processes, that would require interaction with the Linux part of the PiDP-10 when developing on another system.

git-monitor

The git-monitor is a system service, that monitors a target directory on the PiDP-10. It contains a file with a list of git repositories to monitor, one at a time. The service will check if any of the repositories changed, and pull them. After a successful pull a script will be called, if it exists, that allows the newly updated repository to interact with a running PDP-10 simulation.

The monitor consists of a script, that needs to be installed to /usr/local/bin and a systemd unit-file to run it as a service.

Installation

To install the git-monitor, clone this repository to the target computer, and run the install script:

git clone https://gitea.orca-central.de/jali/PiDP10Services.git
sudo ./install.sh

This will install the service on your system and start it. If you want the service to be enabled on system boot, enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable git-monitor.service
