NAME
nfarchive - archive notesfiles
SYNOPSIS
nfarchive [ -# ] [ -d ] [ -m- or -m+ ] [ -w# ] [ -f file ]
topic [ ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Nfarchive is used to expire notes that have not been
modified in a certain amount of time. Archives are stored
in ``archive notesfiles''.
The -# parameter is the number of days a notestring must be
idle (no new responses) before being eligible for archival.
Expired notestrings are either deleted or placed in an
archive. The -d parameter tells nfarchive to delete expired
notestrings. If unselected, the expired notestrings are
placed in an archive.
The -m+ option specifies that only notes marked with a
director message are eligible for expiration. -m- specifies
that only notes without a director message are eligible for
expiration. By default, the expiration algorithm is
indifferent to a note's director message status.
The -w# option specified the working set size for the
expired notesfiles. The specified number represents the
minimum number of notes to leave in the notesfile.
The expiration threshold, working set size, expiration
action, and director message requirements can all be
specified as a director's option in each notesfile.
Specific values override what is specified on the nfarchive
command line. A default value specifies using the value
specified on the command line.
The -f parameter specifies a file containing a list of
notesfiles to archive. Notesfiles can also be specified on
the command line.
By default, the archive of notesfile
/usr/spool/notes/somenotes is in
/usr/spool/oldnotes/somenotes. The archive of
/some/other/place/somenotes also defaults to
/usr/spool/oldnotes/somenotes. To prevent collisions of this
nature, mapping between active and archive notesfiles is
implemented. The file
/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.alias/Archive-into contains
lines of the form:
active-notesfile:archive notesfile

NFARCHIVE(8) UNIX 5.0 (University of Illinois) NFARCHIVE(8)
Lines in this file beginning with `#' are comments.
Notesfiles without an entry in this file are archived into
the /usr/spool/oldnotes directory with the appropriate last
component.
When initially created, an archive notesfile has an access
list matching its active counterpart. Currently, only
directors are allowed to write in an archive notesfile.
Nfarchive refuses to archive an archive notesfile.
