Currently, ezca tools are flakey and fails too much.
So, I hacked ezca tools just like Yoichi did in 2009 (see elog #1368).

For now,

/ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/gds-2.15.1/bin/ezcaread
/ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/gds-2.15.1/bin/ezcastep
/ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/gds-2.15.1/bin/ezcaswitch
/ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/gds-2.15.1/bin/ezcawrite

are wrapper scripts that repeats ezca stuff until it succeeds (or fails more than 5 times).

Of course, this is just a temporary solution to do tonight's work.
To stop this hack, run /users/yuta/scripts/ezhack/stophacking.cmd. To hack, run /users/yuta/scripts/ezhack/starthacking.cmd.

Original binary files are located in /ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/gds-2.15.1/bin/ezcabackup/ directory.
Wrapper scripts live in /users/yuta/scripts/ezhack directory.

I wish I could alias ezca tools to my wrapper scripts so that I don't have to touch the original files. However, alias settings doesn't work in our scripts.
Do you have any idea?
