Yes your script and the cron job have survived.
According to the cron entry at /srv/box2/var/spool/cron/crontabs/squeaksource,
cron entry was this:
55 23 * * * /home/squeaksource/dailycommits/dailycommits.sh
Your dailycommits.sh script and everything that goes with it is safely
restored in /srv/box2/home/squeaksource/dailycommits/.
I think that the script will run on box4, except that it looks like the
/usr/bin/mail client that we had on box2 does not exist, so possibly it
is necessary to do "apt-get install mailutils".
So to get it running again, I think that the only thing required is to add
a cron job for user squeaksource with the following entry:
55 23 * * * srv/box2/home/squeaksource/dailycommits/dailycommits.sh
That said, it looks like we do not yet actually have a user id "squeaksource"
on box4, and for reasons that I cannot explain, the source.squeak.org home
directory and everything under it are owned by user davidlewis (I did not
do that, honest ;-).
So we probably need to add a proper user for squeaksource (source.squeak.org,
not squeaksource.com), and we should change the file ownerships to match.
But in the near term, since I just happen to coincidentally be a person
named davidlewis, I'll bet that I can reinstall the old dailycommits cron
job under my user id.
I will see if I can install a mail client and cron job to get this working.
Details will be in /root/admin-log.txt.
