[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] getting brick_ctl.sh to work

[Ben Shum]

Hmm, I've never had to directly modify the brick_ctl.sh control script or use /etc/profile as Chris describes.  Only have the two paths to the opensrf user's .bashrc.

Perhaps it's only balking that error because they don't have the ssh-key entry setup between head and drones and so it can't locate osrf_ctl.sh on the drones due to failure to connect.

Let us know what you discover Sue.

There may be a recommended way to do this from Bill or one of the other developers, but those are my techniques. ;-)
