- It's not a grades issue. You need to poll the site because (correctly,
- according to your grades) there's no traffic for the other site.
-
- To hand-poll, use uucico -ssite -r1 ...
-
- To automate this, either write a script and cron it, or write a self-at-ing
- script which dynamically decides when to next poll and gets started in
- /etc/rc.local, or play with the Poll file (I think that's it in HDB, but
- I always use one of the first two methods so I don't remember).
