- I have tried in vain to get gopherd to execute a shell script when
- the proper choice is made from the menu. How do I go about setting
- up the link file properly? I have a file in the .cap directory that
- looks like:
-
- Name=Print out a fancy list of all users with accounts on the system.
- Numb=10
- Type=0
- Path=exec:/usr/local/bin/user_list
- Host=my.machine.name
- Port=70
-
- However, when I choose this option from the menu, it says that
- "usr/local/bin/user_list does not exist"! Well, it does. I've tried
- changing permissions on it and moving it to other filesystems. No luck.
- Basically, I was hoping I could get someone to give me a hint as to
- how to get gopher to execute shell scripts. I am running gopher1.03
- on AIX 3.1.5.
