Ah, ok, I misunderstood. You know, I was thinking that would be manual
work but I bet I could write a script to check for the presence of a file and, if found, create/append the flofile with the info I want appended.

Thanks, I had seen that before. Is that the name of the flo file, or the name of the "packet" files (i.e. name.TH0, name.FR0, etc.)? I was not sure.

That part is a bit tricky in a script. You'll want to be sure to append
to an existing flofile and not overwrite it.. :)
Easy using the >> output redirection in shells like BASH. That creates the file if it doesn't exist, and appends otherwise. I think it works in DOS/Windows too.

Yes, DOS/Windows uses that too. You can also do 2>&1 to also redirect standard error to the file as well (otherwise, you'll have standard
output going to the file and error messages going to the screen). Specifically, 2>&1 redirects standard error to the same place where
you're redirecting standard output.

i think the tricky part he was talking about is figuring out the ?LO file's basename... it is hella tricky AFAIK... my 4DOS/4OS2 and bash scripts say so ;) :lol:

Yeah that would be a little tricky - some decimal to hex conversion
there. :)

the real tricky part is the checking for and creating if needed of the
BSO directories that's the tough part... especially if you're doing 4D
or 5D which makes a big difference... then destination points'
directories have to be managed under their boss' out.zzz/xxxxyyyy directory as pppppppp.pnt... it can be real fun to code... i've only
done 5D style because nothing i have requires 4D where i have this code
in place...

Should be fairly straightforward in Linux, though I haven't tried. No idea in $DOS/4OS2, because I haven't used those for 15+ year. I used
to love 4DOS back in the day. I do all sorts of clever path
manipulation in BASH. :)

didn't i send you my poll or freq script some time back? the code is in there because the same determinations need to be made as to where to create the poll ?LO file and what its name is as well as creating the
freq data file, too... they're real close in form...

Hmm, I'm not sure. I know I was going to write one, but never got
around to it. Or it was one of those things that got lost.

it may have been one of the pauls that i sent it to... i remember
posting it in one of these echos with a warning about long lines being wrapped... oh well... if someone wants it, they can ask ;)
wrapped... oh well... if someone wants it, they can ask ;)
I would be interested, as I never got round to writing my FREQ script. :)

No need. That wheel has already been invented by Markus Reschke, as a part of his MFreq package for binkD. There's also a matching
'sendfile' script.
Just FREQ "MFREQ" from my main system (#384). They may need
fine-tuning for your system, too.

Umm, there is a bit of a Catch-22 there! :)

Oops. I always assume people have these functions in their mailer(s).
(I can do FREQs and file sending with a few mouse clicks in my Radius doover.) AAMOF I FREQ-ed a possible new release of MFREQ from Markus' joint, which was forwarded to yours inside of a minute.
Anyhow... check your insecure inbound. Enjoy. 8-)

If I could do that, I wouldn't be looking for a simple way to do it! :D

Ahmm... I was the victim of a relativistic gravity well this AM. After checking the logs, I found it took me 2 minutes four seconds. At the
time it went whee!-whoosh! and was done. :)

The only downside with Radius is that to do an automated FREQ via its
cron would be possible but a mind-bending exercise. OTOH, using
Markus' tool for such a job on my Linux box via binkD would be a *snap* (and which is essentially extra bling in his package). That's a
priority #99 job for my todo list now. ;)
