- The files here implement a dynamic queuemh queue status without the
- end-user having to know anything about MH or even have a .mh_profile.
-
-
- How it works:
-
- The end user runs a script called "status". That script simply
- fingers the queuemh user (troubmh@cs.colorado.edu if you want
- an example). The .plan file for the queuemh user is a fifo.
- A daemon on your queuemh user home system watches the fifo
- and executes a local status command when it is opened.
-
- This is real generic stuff and can be used for any user and
- in fact the original pland is intended for general users.
-
-
- Files:
-
- pland.c source code for the pland daemon which watches fifo
- pland.sun4 sun4 binary of pland.c
- rc.pland script to be run at boot time to start pland
- status.server script executed by pland
- status.client script executed by user
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Install pland and status.server in either ~quser, /usr/local/etc,
- or some other appropriate place.
-
- Put rc.pland wherever you want and modify one of your rc files
- to execute it at boot time. Modify rc.plans for the correct
- paths to pland, the status server program, and the .plan file
- to watch.
-
- Don't worry about the .plan fifo, pland creates it.
-
- Install status.client in /usr/local/bin or somewhere else readily
- accessible to users.
