Nuts are shelled by soaking in water (salt water, probably) for 24 hours, then the nuts are boiled for 5 minutes. The boiling softens the shell, and makes cracking (by hand or machine) much easier. Nuts that are to be sold as blanched or sliced nuts, may be boiled again, before blanching and/or slicing.

Ctrmc (Resouce Monitoring and Control (RMC) subsystem) The ctrmc subsystem is a component of the RSCT (Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology) services, which was originally created for the PSSP (Parallel Systems Service Processor). The PSSP was the first virtual central point of control for the SP systems, and it was the forerunner of today's HMC (Hardware Management Console).
