Annotation of researchv10dc/cmd/post/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: This is a hacked-down version of Post 4.0 for Research Unix systems.
                      2: You don't get mailx source (who wants it anyway?) or upas source
                      3: (you have it already).
                      4: 
                      5: It installs in /usr/bin:
                      6:        pq      the post query program
                      7:        post    post interface for mailers and trivia; usage is:
                      8:                -S      to send an update to the directory
                      9:                -D      for directory tidbits (pretty silly)
                     10:                -x      called from upas/rewrite to hook into mail
                     11:                otherwise, it just execs /bin/mail
                     12: 
                     13: In /usr/lib/post:
                     14:        dispatch  list of addresses of the post servers; used by pq and post
                     15:        update  -S shell script
                     16:        dbinfo  -D shell script
                     17: 
                     18: The contents of "rewrite" should be put in /usr/lib/upas/rewrite,
                     19: usually near the top, depending on how your upas is set up.
                     20: You can send mail by name (or any query), but by not using mailx,
                     21: you don't get the interactive resolution script in case you get
                     22: a name wrong.  You'll get some mail back instead, assuming you have
                     23: the newer upas with the post tweak that sends stderr back instead of
                     24: "broken translate".
                     25: 
                     26: Contact Michael.Scott.Baldwin to shower praise, make death threats, whatever.
