i want to use the :S: flag in my sys file to cut down a redundant shell but have come accross that is not explained very well. the default command is :- #define DFTXMIT "/usr/bin/uux - -r -z -n %s!rnews < %s" now when i give S flag in sys the < will be passed as an argument to uux. uux knows what to do with < (that is very special!!) and will infact do the correct thing. but i think that uux must have !%s then to do work correctly. the reason is that i saw a fix here to UXMIT (the one for uux -c). #define UXMIT "/usr/bin/uux -r -z -n -c %s!rnews '<' %s" the problem is if you use the uux -c flag then UXMIT must be changed to not have the quotes around the < ie:- #define UXMIT "/usr/bin/uux -r -z -n -c %s!rnews < %s" Am i correct?. is there news going thru uux without a full understanding of this fact. martin levy bell labs.
