Conventions
Naming convention for servers
Server names have the form lx-purpose-[0-9][0-9].psi.ch,
where purpose is the purpose of the server or the service
provided by it. Examples are:
lx-boot-01.psi.chis the boot server
The production server always has an DNS alias purpose.psi.ch and clients should always use this alias to connect to the server.
When putting system names into configuration files, we always use
lower case and the fully qualified domain name. Good:
boot.psi.ch.
Names for programs
The general conventions regarding filenames apply (see File system hierarchy and filenames). In addition, scripts
should not include a suffix indicating the language they are written in.
The latter is an implementation detail and does not matter to the caller
of the script/program. A good name could be
pli-system-info, a bad one would be
pli-system-info.sh.
