In the end though, I would like to see a distribution
list so that
others may take advantage of this.
No problemo. I have a distribution list on MIM for it now.
MIM::US:[BQT]NOTIFY.DIS
Now moved to US:[DECNET]NOTIFY.DIS, just in case someone
curious wants to look at it. And the execution of things are
done from US:[DECNET]MAKEFILE.
Any further questions can be directed directly to me, and
I'll refrain from spamming this list anymore. :-)

Mail uses LEGATO:: as a gateway, so it will not work if
LEGATO is down.
I should clarify that it means mail to destination outside
of HECnet
uses LEGATO. Mail to recipients inside HECnet requires that those
specific machines are online (obviously).
Johnny
Also, sometimes database updates might actually not cause any real
change to the number to name mapping, just as a small warning.
Also, at this time, any additions or removals from that
distribution
are handled be me manually. So let me know if you want to be in or
out of that list.

Johnny,
How much effort would be involved for your procedures to send
email to a distribution list announcing a change to the network
database? I could hook that at my end to the running of
NetUpdateV2.COM which already makes use of the file
NODENAMES.DAT,
that the current procedure produces. The subject would
have to be
unique so that the parser could deal with it. A mail
message that
looked something like this:
To: @netupdate.dis
Subject: NETUPDATE
Content would be ignored. To subscribe all anyone
would have to do
would be to submit a HECnet email address to you. I
will volunteer
one
right now to test with - SGC::SYSTEM.
Hmm.. Eventually that would be easy, but the one snag
right now is that
I still do not have a resolver library for RSX finished.
Once I've done
this, I can do any such automation quite easily.
It might be that I could set it up using a DECnet-SMTP
gateway right
now. I just need to check this out a little. Let me come
back to you in
a day or so. Right now I'm trying to understand how
network booting
PDP-11s work...
Johnny
Aw, heck. I get distracted easily...
So, to make things clear - you'd like to get a mail with
a specific
subject line? I figured out how to do that. The sender
will be me, and
the to-line would be you... I can set that up now, if you
want to test
it.
Johnny

Hey Johnny,
Update the extended data for MOYA please. She is a
MicroVAX II
(KA630) with 13M RAM in a BA123.
Updated the CPU, thanks. Care to tell what OS?
