-rh-upload
-
-This is a script provided with the SOS RPM which provides some automation for RHEL kernel vmcore file
-handling. The script is capable of compressing, encrypting, checksumming, splitting and uploading a
-vmcore file by passing a few options and answering two questions.
-
-The script requires that the system (it is run on) has lftp, openssl, and gzip installed otherwise it
-will die.
-
-#### Recommendations ####
-
-Red Hat absolutely recommends that you perform an md5checksum and provide the result file to your
-technician. This only takes a few extra minutes and can save a lot of headaches if the file somehow
-is corrupted during transfer.
-
-It is not recommended to split the core file unless you are on an unreliable or low throughput
-connection. Lftp will automatically resume uploads if there are connection interruptions but in
-some cases splitting the core file into smaller hunks may be desirable.
-
-Because your core could potentially contain data sensitive to your company it is recommended that
-core file encryption is at least considered. While it's not very likely that someone could sniff
-that sensitive information while in transit it is possible. Even with very large core files it takes
-less time to encrypt a compressed core file than it does to actually compress it the core file.
-The 10 or so extra minutes it takes may be worth it.
-
-It's likely that you will be running the script remotely so it is recommended that you launch a
-screen session _before_ kicking off this script. That way if your connection is dropped for some
-reason the script will continue until it's ready to prompt for destination input.
-
-#### Questions ####
-
-A couple of comments regarding choices made in the design of the script.
-
-Why use gzip instead of bzip2?
-While bzip2 /does/ compress tighter than gzip it is significantly slower on large files like
-vmcore files. When compressing a core file speed is more of the essence rather than overall
-compression ratio.
-
-Why not have a switch to provide the ticket number and/or upload destination?
-Good question. While there isn't really a technical reason it seemed more logical to prompt
-for this information at the beginning and end of the script run.
-
-Do I have to use this script to upload kernel vmcore files?
-No you don't have to use it; however, we would prefer you did. It standardizes the core file
-naming convention on the dropbox for one thing. Secondly it allows you to run this script
-and then go work on something else while all of the file operations run; however, if you wish to
-stare blankly at a screen waiting for compression to complete so you can upload that's entirely
-your perogative. ;-)
-
-I have a suggestion for this script who do I give it to?
-Open a ticket with Red Hat support with your request. It will certainly be considered. That said,
-this was written in a shell script with the idea being that anyone could alter it in any way
-they see fit.
