  • Polling and send etc update

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Thu Feb 10 22:44:43 2022
    Hello All!

    OK, every one I was sending crash to where there is regular flow has no been changed from Crash to Normal and I will be polling once an hour.

    Lets see how that goes but note that you will be polled even if there is nothing on hold for you - yes a dirty way but I will clean this up if needed.

    If any of you do not need the frequent i.e., say every 3 hour, 6 hours or even just daily please let me know.

    I may change this brute force polling any way to just change the .flo (Norma), .hlo (Hold) files to .clo (Crash) but I have to work out how to :(

    The simple way is to do in a script :

    cd outbound (for z2)
    mv named file for node.?lo to node.clo

    Do same for other three zones

    OR do some king od script bunny to look for files *.?lo and change to *.clo inside a for loop.


    This script will throw up errors if any node.?lo does not exist but that I can live with.

    It will start at 23:00 GMT today.

    Now don't start polling me otherwise I cannot tell if there is an error in the script but having one of you having mail/files outstanding more than one hour that should be being polled.
