what i've typically done is to create a shellscript that executes the
program and then enqueue it on the batch queue using:

     qprt -Pbsh shellscriptname

so...if the script is use to execute a program called "bigprog" is called
"bpscript," the command to run the job in the batch queue would be:

     qprt -Pbsh bpscript

and bpscript would look something like:

     bigprog -options parameters

you will have to make sure that the batch queue is properly set up. i
believe that aix typically comes with bsh configured correctly, but i'd
check it anyways.

I don't know if this is your problem, but as I didn't see any answer to
it, here is a problem we once had with backups that were unreadable.

If you have a drive that is larger than the capacity of your diskette,
the diskette is by default being formatted for the larger amount of space
an cannot usually be read afterwards. So you should assure that this
isn't your problem.

  In other 'mail's I've used, ususally the following statement works 
in .mailrc...

set indentprefix=>

  I've tried that however with our AIX3.2 systems, and it seems that
mail is ignoring that statement (amoung a couple other statements I've 
always used in the past..).  The man page for mail actually mentions 
that a tab is used for indenting (nothing other; no variable, no 
flexibility).

  Any ideas?

xwafemail is not for those of you who want to get solutions working out of
the box.

Behind the wonders of the xwafemail, lies the following systems (all public
domain):

    * Athena widgets  - The MIT Athena Xaw libraries
    * Perl            - An interpreted language by Larry Wall
    * Wafe            - Widget Athena Front end built around tcl
    * wafemail        - a script in Perl interacting with wafe. Part of wafe.
    * tcl             - Tool command language

Archie should be able to find all of these programs for you.

What you get with wafe/xwafemail:

    * Two windows on the screen. One containing message headers and one
      the current message being read.
    * A row of buttons for print, save, config.
    * Will show a pixmap of the sender if one is found.
    * The possibility mapping keystrokes and building macros which immediately
      will work with any wafe application using the ascii widget. Thus if
      I write a macro (in TCL) it will immediately be used both by the
      xwe standalone editor and to the editor widget inside xwafemail.

Subject:      Batch Processes on RS/6000

If you are interested in running a shell script as a batch process it is very
simple to do using the batch command (do a man batch).  I do this all the time
as I run jobs that can take 5 to 7 days to complete.  What I do is create a
shell that goes like this:
batch <!       < says input follows and ! says end of batch is next !
pgmname and parms
pgmname and parms and so on
!              the end

Then you just run the script and it tells you the process is running and off
you go quite happily.
Hope this is what you wanted.

gnu.emacs.help is a newsgroup, not a mailing list (as comp.unix.aix is
a newsgroup while aix-l is a mailing list). You need a newsreader (eg.
rn) and a news server (eg. your own machine or one in your neighbour-
hood) that allows you to read news. Ask your system manager or your
local network people about it...

Subject:      Name server problem.

Nameserving outside of domain?????
I believe that this problem was -questioned by another AIXlistserve member
recently, but I did not see any  response to it.  I want to post it again to
see if anyone can shed some light on the problem:   We have just configured
our Risc 220 to be a primary name server.  When it makes a query for a name
lookup (via telnet, ftp, etc,) outside of the domain for the first time, it
times out.  However, it always connects on the next attempt to the same host
and continues to work thereafter for that host.  This seems to be true for
all hosts outside of our domain.   Even if I abort the telnet
attempt before it times out, it still works on the next attempt and
thereafter.  Is this a known bug?  Or did I miss something in my
configuration?  I assume that others must have an AIX primary nameserver
working properly?????    Any thoughts will be much appreciated!

cron: 0481-088 The MAXRUN limit of 25 processes has been reached

      0481-091 The fork system call failed

fork: There is not enough memory available now

Has anybody an explanation for one or the other of the error messages.
The info explorer was of no help, it just pointed me to the cron man

Thank you in advance.

One of the FTP server exits to check an incoming IP address.  I just

Natalie, I think congratulations are in order for Harold.... his is the only
listserv I know of that can handle typos in the address line. In the last
two days I've seen two messages make it to the list without any obvious
difficulty... the first addressed to 'words-k' and the other 'wrods-l' -
other listservs that I am familiar with wouldn't hesitate to bounce anything
that doesn't meet the exact address criteria including case. I'm not very
knowledgeable about such things, but it seems that this listserv has something
the others don't. That's what makes me assume it's Harold..... or Bernard,
perhaps? :-)

This is very interesting - though expensive enough that I would it's
too much for most amateur sewers...still, how does it work on the
sewing machine? From the description, it sounds like an electronic
pattern - and I am not sure where any labour saving/technological
advantage arises (you can make a paper pattern for practically
nothing - and save it for next time.)

I'll take that as a compliment.

I find this profanity offensive. Such usage should not be allowed.
Disrespect for religion or fundamental and basic beliefs of any kind
is a form of bigotry.

Challenging the hypocrisy of religious advocates is an entirely
different, and legitimate subject.

Hey, haven't I been filling your drunivac mailer with enough inane
garbage? Gimme a break! It does not work! If AT&T works it's becuase
they're so brain dead that they don't know that they shouldn't be able to.

And I got one message for you: Buy Lords of Acid, and you'll never look at
Patsy Cline again.

Happy holidays, List Honey!

When I first got here, I was told that I was required to carry my Social
Securuty Registration Card at all times.  Three odd years ago, my wallet
was stolen and never found.  I was able to replace everything that was lost,
except for the SSN card.  I called, wrote to whatever office that issues
them, filled forms, but never received a replacement card and finally gave
up.  Now, I carry my driver's license and hope it will suffice if ever I'm
in trouble.

PS For any INS/FBI types who might read this, I tried awfully hard to obtain
a replacement card - not my fault if I wasn't successful.
