Squish Area Fix Usage
---------------------
The SqaFix remote request feature allows the node to control its
echo mail links by sending a netmail messages to the host system.
Format of the request:
From: <your name>, <your address>
To: SqaFix, <host system address>
Subj: <password> [-q] [-l] [-?] [-h]
----
The subject field should contain password assigned for your node
by the host system operator. Requests from unknown systems or with
invalid password will be refused.
In addition, the subject field can contain several switches to
provide comatibility with AreaFix style requests. These area:
-? -- send this help file
-L -- report list of all available areas
-Q -- report list of linked areas
The messge body should contain one or more commands followed by the
tear line. All the commands are case insencitive and can be specified
in any order, although the net result of the link/unlink commands
depends on the order they're listed in.
The following commands are recognized:
[+]<areatag> -- link the specified area
-<areatag> -- unlink the specified area
[+]%ALL [groups] -- link all areas in these groups
-%ALL [groups] -- unlink all areas in these groups
%PASSIVE [groups] -- temporarily unlink areas in groups
%ACTIVE [groups] -- relink areas in these groups
%RESCAN -- rescan specified area for the node
%LIST -- report list of all available areas
%QUERY -- report list of linked areas
%HELP -- send this help file
If [groups] filter is omitted then all the groups available for
the node will be subject of the operation.
Multiple overlapping requests are perfectly valid. For example:
-%ALL ; unlink all the active areas
%ALL ABCD ; link areas in groups A,B,C and D
-JUNK ; unlink area with tag JUNK
%LIST ; report the whole picture
Nice touch: all lines beginning with character '>' are ignored,
so that you can create remote requests by quoting and simple
editing of SqaFix own reports using your lovely message editor!
