NAME¶
ulistd - collect FBB BBS messages list sent via unproto frames
SYNOPSIS¶
ulistd -c callsign [-n] [-l] [-g] [-m number] [-v]
DESCRIPTION¶
Ulistd is a daemon that comunicates with one or more F6FBB BBSs using the
unproto (UI) frames and gathers the information about messages available in
the BBS. Ulistd can act in two modes. In
active mode it automaticaly
sends the requests to keep the lists up to date. In
passive mode it
uses only the list entries transmitted by the BBS. When some missing messages
are detected it calls the script
/var/ax25/complete_agent that will
complete the list. Typicaly this script runs
axgetlist (1) to read the
missing messages. Each home BBS must be specified in configuration file
/etc/ax25/ulistd.conf
The unproto listing must be enabled on each BBS (ask sysop to do this for your
callsign). When BBS rejects a request, daemon stops sending requests to this
BBS. When a BBS doesn't respond, request sending is stopped and daemon waits
until the BBS sends an unproto frame.
OPTIONS¶
