Description
Hi Jordan,
I am working on the new translation interface for Moodle, called AMOS. Shortly, that will be a customized Moodle 2.0 installation, MNet'd with moodle.org as usually. I propose URL http://lang.moodle.org but this should be approved by Martin D. I will need shell access to the machine in a similar way to what I already have for that http://test.moodle.net/workshop site.
I will need git installed. I would like to have access to a crontab as there are scripts that must be executed regularly via command line.
Details to be discussed via Jabber. Thanks in advance.
Activity
Jordan, I am running into various issues with running AMOS scripts at server8.moodle.com
- php+cli does not seem to be set up (mysqli driver not present) so I can't test my scripts now. I need unlimited execution time there for some initial tasks
- because Apache sees the $CFG->dirroot other than I do, it is a bit difficult to prepare the environment for both CLI and web interface
- AMOS was tuned at Postgres and I can't guarantee performance at MySQLi at the moment
- as discussed above, I am unable to control my crontabs manually on my own
Can you think of some ways around? Thanks and sorry for annoying requests (I'll buy you a beer once we meet 
)

) ah, and that screen thing does not work 
Maybe creating /var/run could help as it creates /var/run/screen directory for own purposes

David,
I have set up the virtual host and linked the server root path to your home directory on server 8 ( along side your workshop test site )
You should already have access to git inside your jail, if not let me know.
