 Parameters  : none

					Note: The 'reserve' subroutine should never open the firewall for

=head2 get_source_configuration_directories

 Parameters  : None
 Returns     : Array containing filesystem path strings
 Description : Retrieves the $SOURCE_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY variable value for
               the classes which the OS object is a member of and returns an
               array containing these values.
               
               The first element of the array contains the value from the
               top-most class where the $SOURCE_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY variable
               was defined. The last element contains the value from the
               bottom-most class, which is probably the class which was
               instantiated.
               
               Example: An Windows XP OS object is instantiated from the XP
               class, which is a subclass of the Version_5 class, which is a
               subclass of the Windows class:
               
               VCL::Module::OS::Windows
               ^
               VCL::Module::OS::Windows::Version_5
               ^
               VCL::Module::OS::Windows::Version_5::XP
               
               The XP and Windows classes each
               have a $SOURCE_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY variable defined but the
               Version_5 class does not. The array returned will be:

=head2 _get_public_interface_name_helper

 Parameters  : $interface_name_1, $interface_name_2
 Returns     : string
 Description : Compares the network configuration of the interfaces passed as
               the arguments. Returns the name of the interface more likely to
               be the public interface. It checks the following:
               1. Is either interface assigned a public IP address?
                  - If only 1 interface is assigned a public IP address then that interface name is returned.
                  - If neither or both are assigned a public IP address:
               2. Is either interface assigned a default gateway?
                  - If only 1 interface is assigned a default gateway then that interface name is returned.
                  - If neither or both are assigned a default gateway:
               3. Is either interface assigned the private IP address?
                  - If only 1 interface is assigned the private IP address, then the other interface name is returned.
                  - If neither or both are assigned the private IP address, the first interface argument is returned

=head2 get_tools_file_paths

 Parameters  : $pattern (optional)
 Returns     : boolean
 Description : Scans the tools directory on the management node for any files
               which are intended for the OS of the reservation image. The OS
               name and architecture are considered. A list of file paths on the
               reservation computer is returned.
               
               Files intended for the reservation image are synchronized from
               the management node. Any files which don't exist on the
               reservation computer are copied. Files which exist on the
               computer but are different than the file on the management node
               are replaced. Files which exist on the computer but not on the
               management node are ignored.
               
               A pattern argument can be supplied to limit the results. For
               example, to only return driver files supply '/Drivers/' as the
               argument. To only return script files intended to for the
               post_load stage, supply '/Scripts/post_load' as the argument.
               
               The list of files returned is sorted by the names of the files,
               regardless of the directory where they reside. Files can be named
               beginning with a number. This list returned is sorted numerically
               from the lowest number to the highest:
               -1.cmd
               -50.cmd
               -100.cmd
               
               File names which do not begin with a number are sorted
               alphabetically and listed after any files beginning with a
               number:
               -1.cmd
               -50.cmd

=head2 run_stage_scripts_on_computer

 Parameters  : $stage
 Returns     : boolean
 Description : Runs scripts on the computer intended for the state specified by
               the argument. The stage argument may be any of the following:
               * post_load
					* post_reserve
					* post_initial_connection
					* post_reservation
					* pre_reload
					* pre_capture
               
               Scripts are stored in various directories under tools matching
               the OS of the image being loaded. For example, scripts residing
               in any of the following directories would be executed if the
               stage argument is 'post_load' and the OS of the image being
               loaded is Windows XP 32-bit:
               * tools/Windows/Scripts/post_load
               * tools/Windows/Scripts/post_load/x86
               * tools/Windows_Version_5/Scripts/post_load
               * tools/Windows_Version_5/Scripts/post_load/x86
               * tools/Windows_XP/Scripts/post_load
               * tools/Windows_XP/Scripts/post_load/x86
               
               The order the scripts are executed is determined by the script
               file names. The directory where the script resides has no affect
               on the order. Script files can be named beginning with a number.
               The scripts sorted numerically and processed from the lowest
               number to the highest:
               * 1.cmd
               * 50.cmd
               * 100.cmd
               
               Scripts which do not begin with a number are sorted
               alphabetically and processed after any scripts which begin with a
               number:
               * 1.cmd
               * 50.cmd
               * 100.cmd

 Parameters  : none
 Returns     : boolean

               a random name under /tmp. If successfully mounted, a subdirectory
               with a name containing substituted values based on the
               reservation data is created. For example, if the nfsmount
               variable contains:
               /user_data/share/user-[user_login_id]-[user-uid]
               
               A directory should be mounted on the reservation computer named
               something like:
               /user_data/share/user-jdoe-3459
               
               If the user-jdoe-3459 directory does not exist, this subroutine
               will:
               * Attempt to mount /user_data/share on the management node under
                 /tmp
               * Create a subdirectory named 'user-jdoe-3459'
               * If any part of the directory name specification contains a
                 substitution component that includes '[user_*]', the newly
                 created directory's owner is set to the user.uid value in the
                 database and the directory permissions are set to 0700.
               * The directory is unmounted from the management node.
               * The directory under /tmp is deleted
               * The share is mounted on the reservation computer.
               
               This subroutine will currently only attempt to automatically
               create directories if the last component contains a substitution
               component. Substitution components are allowed in the
               intermediate directory path such as:
               /schools/[affiliation_name]/share
               
               However, no attempt will be made to create the
               <[affiliation_name]> directory. It must exist prior to the
               reservation.

 Returns     : boolean
 Description : Adds a parameter/value line to a text-based config file. If a

               The $delimiter argument may contain spaces if a line should be
