Overview

AUTHSERV batch jobs were primarily those that deal with cleanup of tokens generated by the authentication process and with synchronizing CGI scripts between "e" boxes.

Appworx jobs were scheduled on the toklat cluster and executed wrapper scripts which shelled over to the ldapgw account on "e" boxes. It then executed scripts having the same name as the toklat wrapper. See ~ldapgw/appworx/<server>_appworx_wrapper.pl on the talkeetna cluster which still do serve to wrap instructions from the <talkeetna>: ~sxldap/appworx directory.
