.SH NAME
save_cluster_info \- get a workstation's cluster information
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/athena/save_cluster_info
.SH DESCRIPTION
This shell script, as part of the reactivatation process,
retrieves the workstation's network
environment information from the
.I hesiod
nameserver,
and writes that information into two files:
.I /etc/athena/clusterinfo,
and
.I /etc/athena/clusterinfo.bsh.
The first of these files is used
to set C shell environment variables,
while the second file sets Bourne shell variables.

Currently
.I save_cluster_info
sets the
.I ZEPHYR,
.I LPR,
.I PRCLUSTER,
.I USRLIB,
and
.I SYSLIB
shell variables.
The
.I ZEPHYR
variable specifies the workstation's notification server host,
.I USRLIB
specifies the name of its
.I usr
filesystem,
and
.I SYSLIB
specifies the name of its
.I system
filesystem
(The workstation's
.I activation
process uses the
.I SYSLIB
information to
.I attach
the workstation's default filesystem).

.I save_cluster_info
retrieves its information by calling the
.I hesiod
program
.I /etc/athena/getcluster.
If the call to
.I getcluster
fails,
.I save_cluster_info
will not change the workstation's current
.I /etc/athena/clusterinfo
and
.I /etc/athena/clusterinfo.bsh
files.
