Removed Scripts

Process Management Scripts

  1. kill_by_name.pl

    • Previous Location: ExperPort/Modules/@bpodSound/kill_by_name.pl
    • Function: Used to kill processes by name, likely used for sound server management
    • Dependencies: Perl

  2. kill_by_name.pl

    • Previous Location: ExperPort/Modules/@softsound/kill_by_name.pl
    • Function: Used to kill processes by name, likely used for sound server management
    • Dependencies: Perl

Automated Task Scripts

  1. nightly_runner.pl

    • Previous Location: ExperPort/nightly_runner.pl
    • Function: Executed contents of runme_tonight.pl and then emptied its contents
    • Dependencies: Perl, CVS
    • Note: Part of an automated nightly task system

  2. runme_tonight.pl

    • Previous Location: ExperPort/runme_tonight.pl
    • Function: Contained tasks to be executed nightly
    • Dependencies: Perl, CVS
    • Note: Part of an automated nightly task system

  3. nightly_followup.pl

    • Previous Location: ExperPort/nightly_followup.pl
    • Function: Emptied contents of runme_tonight.pl and updated CVS
    • Dependencies: Perl, CVS
    • Note: Part of an automated nightly task system

Version Control Scripts

  1. CVSAutoUpdater.pl
    • Previous Location: ExperPort/CVSAutoUpdater.pl
    • Function: Automated CVS updates
    • Dependencies: Perl, CVS

Utility Scripts

  1. remove_comments.pl

    • Function: Utility script for removing comments from code
    • Dependencies: Perl

Impact Assessment

Potential Impacts

  1. Process Management

    • Sound server process management may need alternative solutions
    • Consider using MATLAB's system commands or Python scripts

  2. Automated Tasks

    • Nightly tasks will need to be reimplemented
    • Consider using MATLAB's timer objects or system scheduler

  3. Version Control

    • CVS automation is no longer available
    • Consider using Git commands directly or through MATLAB's interface

  4. Code Maintenance

    • Comment removal functionality needs replacement
    • Consider using MATLAB's built-in functions or Python scripts

Testing Required

  • Verify sound server functionality
  • Test automated task alternatives
  • Validate version control workflows
  • Check code maintenance tools

Replacement Solutions

  1. Process Management

    % Example MATLAB alternative for process management
system('taskkill /F /IM process_name.exe');

  2. Automated Tasks

    % Example MATLAB timer for automated tasks
t = timer('TimerFcn', @myTask, 'Period', 86400, 'ExecutionMode', 'fixedRate');
start(t);

  3. Version Control

    % Example MATLAB Git commands
system('git pull');
system('git commit -m "message"');

  4. Code Maintenance

    % Example MATLAB comment removal
str = fileread('file.m');
str = regexprep(str, '%[^\n]*', '');
