Group:
I'm trying to get archive2.pl to work. It seems OK, except that it's
not writing any archives.
I've added these lines to the aliases file
skipperlist-archive: "/usr/home/major/wrapper archive2.pl
-f /usr/home/major/lists/skipperlist.archive/skipperlist
-M -a"
I've run newaliases
I've created the directory:
/usr/home/major/lists/skipperlist.archive
I've created an empty file in the above directory, called
skipperlist
I sent this message to majordomo:
index skipperlist
I got back this response:
-rw-r--r-- 1 major major 1 Oct 23 12:49 skipperlist
I sent a test message to the skipperlist and it was duly posted.
Then I sent this message to majordomo:
get skipperlist skipperlist
and got back this response:
--
When I telnetted into lists/skipperlist.archive, i found that the file,
skipperlist was still empty and hod not been accessed since it was
created. But that the directory skipperlist.archive had been
recently accessed.
What am I doing wrong?
My suspicion is that it's not going to the right directory. When I
tried running archive2.pl from the command promp, it didn't find all
the required files, because it looked for them in ENV{'HOME'}, and
they were in a subdirectory instead. But even after assigning the
proper directory to the HOME variable, it still doesn't write to the
file.
