Archive-name: xenix-poll
[Xenix specific. Should work on *all* Xenixes except 2.x, though. ++bsa]
[dumb comment: the "enable" bug is actually a v7 init "bug", caused by
signal handling limitations. It doesn't exist on Xenixes with System V
init (/etc/inittab with run levels). ++bsa]
Here's a shell script for polling other uucp sites on an
otherwise dialin line. It uses nothing other than enable/disable.
No special getty or login required. It's currently in use on
a Tandy Sys III Xenix system. Best of luck, and send any bug fixes/reports
to me please.
