Hello
I wrote a short command procedure that works as a mail list for our
local IEEE student chapter. News are mailed to IEEE account. The command
procedure checks the VMSMAIL.MAI file for new mails and extracts any
mail message into a file and then resends the file to members of the
chapter.
Now I'd like to make it event-driven or timer-driven. In other
words, I want the program to be invoked whenever there is a new mail coming
in. Or, allow cheching every half an hour. I notice that if someone logs on
that account, the mail arrival signal may be caught for this purpose. What
if nobody work on it ? I'd like the program run as a bath job.
Can anybody give some suggestions and advices ??
Thank you in advance.
