Hi,
Awhile ago I posted a request for help. My problem was that
we were sending annoying completion messages to our newsfeed. I got
about 8 responses. Thanks to everyone for the help. In summary,
the following things were suggested:
1. Set the -z flag when we fork uuxqt and batch transfers,
2. Dont set the -z flag on uuxqt and batch transfers,
3. Set the -n option on ....
4. Have our newsfeed set -z and/or -n on ....
It seems not all UNIX's (UNICES?) are compatible (who would believe
it!), with respect to UUCP options. Our site is running 4.2 and we are running
SVr2. The solution turned out to be number 4 above. Our site needed
to set the -z and the -n flags when sending us a "batch" of news.
If anybody out there encounters a similar problem, try one of the
above...
Thanks mightily, Tim
