- ListProcessor 6.0
-
- Here is a brief description of the set of requests recognized by ListProcessor.
- Everything appearing in [] below is optional; everything
- appearing in <> is mandatory; all arguments are case insensitive. The vertical
- bar ("|") is used as a logical OR operator between the arguments. Requests may
- be abbreviated, but you must specify at least the first three characters.
-
- Keep in mind that when referring to a <list>, that list may be of two kinds:
- local or remote, unless otherwise noted. When referring to a local list, your
- request will be immediately processed; when referring to a remote list (a list
- served by another ListProcessor which this system knows about), your request
- will be appropriately forwarded. Issue a 'lists' request to get a listing of all
- local and known remote lists to this ListProcessor.
-
- Recognized requests are:
-
-
- help [topic]
- ------------
- Without arguments, this file. Otherwise get specific information on the
- selected topic. Topics may also refer to requests. To learn more about this
- system issue a 'help listproc' request. To get a listing of all available
- topics, generate an error message by sending a bogus request like 'help me'.
-
-
- set <list> [<option> <arg[s]>]
- ------------------------------
- Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current settings for
- the specified list. Otherwise change the option to a new value for that
- list. Issue a 'help set' request for more information.
-
-
- subscribe <list> <your name>
- ----------------------------
- The only way to subscribe to a list.
-
-

- -----------------------------------------------------------
- Get a listing of non-concealed subscribers along with the number of messages
- each one of them has sent to the specified list. If the optional email addresses
- are given, then statistics will be collected for these users only. For example:
- stat foo user1@domain user2@domain
- will generate statistics about these two subscribers. "-all" lists statistics
- for all users that have posted on the list (whether currently subscribed ot
- not).
-
- run <list> [<password> <cmd [args]>]
- ------------------------------------
- Run the specified command with the optional arguments and receive the output
- from stdout and/or stderr. To get a listing of all available commands to run,
- omit the arguments, i.e. issue a 'run <list>' request. You have to belong to
- the specified list, and must have obtained the password from the list's owner;
- the owner's address may be found in the Errors-To: header line of each
- delivered message. <list> may be local only.

-
-
- get <archive | path-to-archive> <file> [/password] [parts]
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- Get the requested file from the specified archive. Files are usually split in
- parts locally, and in such a case you will receive the file in multiple email
- messages -- an 'index' request tells you how many parts the file has been split
- into, and their sizes; if you need to obtain certain parts, specify them as
- optional arguments. If an archive is private, you have to provide its password
- as well.
-
- view <archive | path-to-archive>] [/password] [parts]

- egrep(1)-style regular expression with support for the following additional
- operators: '~' (negation), '|' and '&' (logical OR and AND), '<' '>' (group
- regular expressions). The pattern may be enclosed in single or double quotes.
- Note: . matches any character including new line.
