Article-I.D.: mugwump.mark.01f4


Ok, in the uulib:config file there is a tag called 'MailReadyCmd' in my
uulib:config file I have this:
MailReadyCmd  Inform mail "newcli from uucp:c/dmail.bat" "You have new mail "

In my uucp:c/dmail.bat file I have
---
run elm
endcli
---

When I receive new mail nothing happens- but when I type the 'Inform mail ...'
on the cli, I get a little window on the top of the screen, I clock on it and
am put into elm.

Where's my mistake? (if I made one)

Thanks

Mark

  I would like to use several different ways to send/receive my news and
  mails. And I would like to switch between these different protocols and
  mailformats. For example I would like to exchange mail via SMTP (rfc 821)
  with server A. In addition to this I do not want to use uucico when
  calling server A. Instead of that I would like to use my own program
  to exchange the mail using Z-Modem. I also want to exchange mail via
  an other Mail-format with Server B using uucico and so on...

  What I would like to have now, is a file where to configure what kind
  of Mail-Format or Protocol my servers need.

  You could also get this problem when writing a gateway.

  Difficult for me to explain...

Is there a replacement command somewhere that does the same thing without
crashing the machine?  I use STATUS fairly often but havn't noticed this
problem, mostly since I don't run anything else when UUXQT is running,
but it would be nice to know if there is a better command out there.

 If you owned a DOS Box you'd probably be arguing that it was more powerful
than an Amiga because it uses command line only :)

 I've been using a GUI cron program for a year and a half and I love it. I
don't have to refer back to the documentation to figure out what esoteric
codes are needed (ever tried to remember how to run a non-GUI cron after
you've ignored it for 6 months???) I really don't see _WHY_ anyone would
insist on using a non-GUI cron when GUI layouts are sooooo much easier.

 Sorry folks, I cannot distribute the cron I use. I did not write it, a
friend did. Its still in beta (he put it down for a year while working on
something much more important, commercial software!). If he ever goes back
and fixes it up, perhaps then he'll PD it.

Hello *!  I've just hacked a nagging problem with uucp (v1.16) and
my new telebit 2500 which I have connected to my A2000. It seems that 
when getty hands control over to uucico, DTR drops for about 
62-65 milliseconds (according to my uncle's fancy digital o'scope). 
Apparently, this wasn't even noticed  by my old US Robitics 2400, but 
the telebit would promptly hang up the phone :) (until I set the modem 
to ignore DTR using the getty command-line modem strings). I've tried 
to lengthen the DTR delay timeout, but this resulted in several 
instances where the modem did not hang up the phone after uucico 
called out. Anyone out there with a T2500 know a way around this? 
Thanks for any info!

I had this problem a few weeks ago when my machine crashed while unpacking
news, and after running QBT many times, and getting new errors everytime I
got new news, I simply deleted my whole UUNEWS:, and started again, and
have had no problems since..

Well, I've used all three for my feeds.  I used to use a USR 14,400 Dual Standard,
my feed had a T2500....I briefly did v.32bis with another system.  Now, I'm running
a Telebit Worldblazer and do PEP with two of my feeds, v.32bis or TurboPEP with
another feed (I call him with TurboPEP and he calls me with v.32bis....)

Let's see....

With the Dualstandard:

v.32    with Portal, I was getting 500-600 cps
v.32    with Ajfcal, I was getting 850-950 cps
v.32bis with Wolves, I was getting 1200-1300 cps

With the Worldblazer:

PEP      with Portal, I am getting 650-950 cps
PEP      with Ajfcal, I am getting 1150-1250 cps
v.32bis  with Dialup, I am getting 900-1100 cps
TurboPEP with Dialup, I am getting 1600-1700 cps

Anyways....for the price range you specified the only solution is to get a v.32bis
modem.

Uh....ignore it?    :)

It's fixed in 1.16f, does NOT indicate a real problem, and only affects
a few people, depending on your upstream feed.

The problem is, GRn is trying to be "smart" about decoding "From:" headers,
and some particular types of "From:" headers are smarter than GRn.  :(

Yeah, unfortunately I dont' have a full uucp connection at work (make that

Hello people,

	I have set up uucp1.16 form Matt Dillon.  I also have a feed site and
have done all the lib entries and exist on the feed site.

	I have no problems connecting.  The site accepts my login and password.
BUT after that NO transfers take place.  There are no options to make sure,
that I have seen anyways, if I am using the g-protocol. How can I make sure?
And how do I make sure that the connection is 8N1?

	The site is usiong the standard window size and segment size that was
set with the software.  Running Waffle.  It did not need to be changed to
"talk" to the Internet site. ( That would be our university )

	What Window size should I be using? What segment size should I use.
The I am using segment size of 64 bytes.  Because that was recommended by
the feed site.

BYE and thanks in advance for all the help

Date: 29 Jul 92 04:19:00 GMT
Organization: Not Organized

Version 1.2 is a minor enhancement.  Below are a section of the readme 
and some example output.  node_report is available from dejavu.spk.wa.us 
as BMS:pub/node_report.lzh.

                        node_report, v 1.2
                        RW Salnick 7/28/92

This program generates node activity and traffic statistics for your UUCP
node.  It is designed to work with Matt Dillon's UUCP software, v1.15 or 
1.16.  It opens uuspool:timelog and reads it, compiling a report, listing 
various statistics for each node found in the timelog.  The report contains
mail header information (suitable for direct feed to sendmail) for 
'Postmaster' at each node for which statistics are found in the timelog.


Changes from version 1.1:

1.  A bug (divide by zero error) which occurred when there were no 
entries found in the timelog for the period specified was squashed.

2.  Added a -n switch, so that node_report -nmynode will generate a 
report for only that particular node (summary statistics for all nodes 
are still included).  This switch is compatible with all other switches.

3.  Modified the method of specifying a report for a particular month to 
also be a command line switch (unify user interface, and clean up the 
code a little).  To run the report for a particular month, specify it as 
-mjun (for example).

There are plenty of people out there who fall in at the "clueless" part of
the scale for which an event scheduler would be useful.  In fact, I know a
few of them around here, even :-).  These are the people who have barely even
heard of the CLI, much less ever used it.  Editing a crontab file is
something they simply would not do and having a GUI editor that did it for
them would probably double (wild guess) CyberCron's user base.

The real SysAdmins probably have scripts to edit the scripts that edit their
crontab file.  :-)

I have been working on CyberCron 1.4 for a while now.  If you have
suggestions for something that you want to see done to it, now is the time.
I heard someone mumble something about being able to find out what or when
the next scheduled event is due up.  This is a feature of TPTCron,
apparently.  I can't find TPTCron anywhere, so I can't tell exactly what it
is people want done here.  If someone has a copy of the TPTCron archive,
could they uuencode and mail it to me please?

I'd like CyberCron to be the best cron possible, so if you have ideas for
things to add, let me know.  If it's feasable, I'll see about adding it.

Well That worked......

I used the Makelink Command as Tony Suggested, and now
both AmigaNos & Elm (UUCP) Use the same file....

A new problem though...

How do I re-direct all mail coming in via UUCP which should be bound for
the SMTP linked 286 to SMTP.

UUCP would normally send these to my default mail server sserve?

Here is an example

          TCP/IP     (adfa)    UUCP LINK   (AMIGA)   TCP/IP    (80286)
INTERNET <---------> SSERVE < - - -- - - > XAVIER <----------> BLADE

The mail to & from INTERNET & XAVIER is fine
The mail to & from XAVIER & BLADE is fine

But how can I get the UUCP software on XAVIER to pass mail to & from
INTERNET and BLADE?

Probably using the UUCP Domain file Eh!!

But How?

How will UUCP know that mail from BLADE (in SMTP Format) not for XAVIER is
 to be passed to SSERVE?

How will UUCP pack mail from INTERNET for Blade into SMTP work packets to
be passed to blade?
