It is assumed that `addr' must be run from a privileged account in order to access the user authorization file. .sp The output from `addr' is not guaranteed in any particular order; as a result, it is most often piped into sort before writing the address file, as in addr | sort >~msg/address .fl system-specific authorization file .sa address(files) .di An error message is displayed if the authorization file could not be opened at READ access. .au Joe Sventek .bu #-h- mstop.fmt 975 asc 20-dec-82 13:44:01 sventek (joseph sventek) .so ~bin/manhdr .hd Mstop (sys) 9-Jul-82 cause the mail system to gracefully close down operations .sy mstop [-p] .ds `mstop' sends a special message to the mail delivery system to cause it to close down gracefully. Upon invocation, `mstop' prompts the user for a password (which it does not echo) to see if the user should be able to cause the reloading of the files. If the first password is unsuccessful, the user is reprompted, with termination of the program upon a second unsuccessful attempt. If the appropriate password is given, the special message is sent to the delivery system, causing the system to gracefully close down. .sp If the flag '-p' is specified, the username of the user is compared with a list of user's who have been accorded "super-user" privileges for the mail system.

If the first password is unsuccessful, the user is reprompted, with termination of the program upon a second unsuccessful attempt.

Follow the instructions displayed by `tcarch' when it completes BEFORE restarting the mail system. .in -3 .sp `tcarch' keeps a list of the archived entries in the ".nfo" file associated with the topic. The archived entries are placed in clear text as an `ar' readable archive. Updated versions of the ".tc", ".bnd" and ".nfo" files for the topic are generated in the current directory. These updated versions must be placed in the tc directory before restarting the mail system, along with regenerating the ".ndx" file. The archived entry file may then be disposed of in any way desired. The usual scenario is to roll these files out to a magnetic tape. .sp The archived entries may be accessed via `ar' operations - i.e. .sp ar tv topic.001 .sp will list the table of contents of the archived file and .sp ar p topic.001 34 73 191 .spp will cause the requested entries to be placed on the standard output. .sp It is expected that control over the archived entry files will be held by the topic guru. .fl the teleconference topic files found in the tc directory .sa ar(1) - archive file maintainer .di .au Joe Sventek .bu
