- Hello,
- I need your help in the following matter:
- Our universal computer will be replaced by a RS 6000 cluster.
- During a login process a user will be (automatically) assingned
- to a mashine which is not heavily loaded. Hence, such a user
- doesn't know what machine (s)he will be actually using. That is
- why (amog other things) we have to solve a mail problem. Namely,
- users should be able to read their mail on whatever machine of
- the cluster they are.
- Being in a AFS cell we decided to use AMS which allows
- distributed mail processing. So, I copied the binary
- distribution of ATK 5.1 (/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/itc/ ...
- /X.V11R5/ftp/cdrom/rs_aix31/andrew.tar.Z) and installed it.
- I read the appropriate help file, /usr/andrew/help/ams.help,
- which claims:
- -- explicitly run the message server as a separate
- process, by typint the name of the program plus an "s":
-
- messagess.
-
- Unfortunately, there is no messagess program in the binary
- distribution of ATK 5.1, is there? .
- Then, I looked for other ms-help files. In the file NonUnix.ins,
- Building and Installing Snapified Clients and Servers, I found
- something usefull. It looks like I have to get the source
- distribution of ATK to build, to install and to run
- Snapified Clients and Servers, haven't I?.
-
- I appreciate any help and/or hint.
