561 to be a daemon that continually builds software when deliveries are detected.
562 Wrote a build status web page that tracks and monitors the continuous
563 building. Created a dynamic web page to show Junit test history. Converted
564 Windows build from bat files and scheduled tasks -> Cygwin and cron thus
565 making the build script identical on both Linux and Windows. Wrote triggers

586 This script handled all aspects of the conversion including changing non US
587 ASCII characters found in the data to their HTML equivalents, dynamic creation
588 of dynamic lists, field renaming and dynamically creating new stateless
589 records as needed.</p>
591 <p>Developed a script to better handle merging from UCM deliveries and rebases
592 by delaying any non automatic merges to the end of the process as well as
593 handle binary element merge. This process, written in Perl, utilized PerlTk to
594 present the user with a GUI dialog box to choose which version of the binary

598 Multimedia group.</p>
600 <p>Wrote several other scripts including one to interface CVS to IMS (a defect
601 tracking system) recording the change set at commit time, a script to strip
602 out MIME/HTML and attachments for defects submitted to GNATS (another defect
603 tracking system). Also implemented several script to log Clearcase activity,
604 check Clearcase's pulse and gather site and vob statistics. These scripts were
605 the start for creation of a set Object Oriented Perl modules to encapsulate
