-One of the more important things a cluster sysop needs to do is to get -information to his users. The simplest way to do this is to have a banner -that is sent to the user on login. This is know as a "message of the day" -or "motd". To set this up, simply create a file in /spider/data called motd -and edit it to say whatever you want. It is purely a text file and will be -sent automatically to anyone logging in to the cluster. -
-
If for any reason the cluster is down, maybe for upgrade or maintenance but -the machine is still running, a message can be sent to the user advising them -of the fact. This message lives in the /spider/data directory and is called -"offline". Simply create the file and edit it to say whatever you wish. -This file will be sent to a user attempting to log into the cluster when -DXSpider is not actually running. -
-
You can set other text messages to be read by the user if they input the file -name. This could be for news items or maybe information for new users. -To set this up, make a directory under /spider called packclus. -Under this directory you can create files called news or newuser -for example. In fact you can create files with any names you like. These can -be listed by the user with the command .... +
In the /spider/msg directory you will find a file called badmsg.pl.issue. Rename +this to badmsg.pl and edit the file. The original looks something like this ....
-show/files
-
-
-They can be read by the user by typing the command .... -
-
-
-type news
-
-
-If the file they want to read is called news. You could also set -an alias for this in the Alias file to allow them just to type news -
-
You can also store other information in this directory, either directly or -nested under directories. One use for this would be to store DX bulletins -such as the OPDX bulletins. These can be listed and read by the user. -To keep things tidy, make a directory under /spider/packclus called -bulletins. Now copy any OPDX or similar bulletins into it. These -can be listed by the user in the same way as above using the show/files -command with an extension for the bulletins directory you have just created, -like this .... -
-
-
-show/files bulletins
-
-
--
An example would look like this .... -
-
-
-sh/files
-bulletins DIR 20-Dec-1999 1715Z news 1602 14-Dec-1999 1330Z
-
-
-You can see that in the files area (basically the packclus directory) there is a -file called news and a directory called bulletins. You can -also see that dates they were created. In the case of the file news, -you can also see the time it was last modified, a good clue as to whether the -file has been updated since you last read it. To read the file called -news you would simply issue the command .... -

I think this is fairly self explanatory. It is simply a list of subject +headers that we do not want to pass on to either the users of the cluster or +the other cluster nodes that we are linked to. This is usually because of +rules and regulations pertaining to items for sale etc in a particular country. +
+
DXSpider receives all and any mail sent to it without any alterations needed -in files. Because personal and bulletin mail are treated differently, there -is no need for a list of accepted bulletin addresses. It is necessary, however, -to tell the program which links accept which bulletins. For example, it is -pointless sending bulletins addresses to "UK" to any links other than UK -ones. The file that does this is called forward.pl and lives in /spider/msg. -At default, like other spider files it is named forward.pl.issue. Rename it -to forward.pl and edit the file to match your requirements. -The format is below ... +
From version 1.47, this method is replaced by the command set/baddx +
+
In the same way as mail, there are some types of spot we do not wish to pass on +to users or linked cluster nodes. In the /spider/data directory you will find +a file called baddx.pl.issue. Rename this to baddx.pl and edit the file. The +original looks like this ....
-#
-# this is an example message forwarding file for the system
-#
-# The format of each line is as follows
-#
-# type to/from/at pattern action destinations
-# P/B/F T/F/A regex I/F [ call [, call ...] ]
-#
-# type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
-# to/from/at: T - to field, F - from field, A - home bbs, O - origin
-# pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
-# action: I - ignore, F - forward
-# destinations: a reference to an array containing node callsigns
-#
-# if it is non-private and isn't in here then it won't get forwarded
-#
-# Currently only type B msgs are affected by this code.
-#
-# The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
-# causes the action to be taken.
-#
-# The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected
-# for the action specified
-#
-# If the BBS list is undef or 0 and the action is 'F' (and it matches the
-# pattern) then it will always be forwarded to every node that doesn't have
-# it (I strongly recommend you don't use this unless you REALLY mean it, if
-# you allow a new link with this on EVERY bull will be forwarded immediately
-# on first connection)

-Simply insert a bulletin address and state in the brackets where you wish -that mail to go. For example, you can see here that mail sent to "UK" will -only be sent to the UK links and not to PA4AB-14.
-
To force the cluster to reread the file use load/forward +
Again, this is simply a list of names we do not want to see in the spotted +field of a DX callout.
-
+
Distribution lists are simply a list of users to send certain types of -mail to. An example of this is mail you only wish to send to other -sysops. In /spider/msg there is a directory called distro. You -put any distibution lists in here. For example, here is a file called -SYSOP.pl that caters for the UK sysops. +
Create a file in /spider/data called badwords. The format is quite +simple. Lines beginning with # are ignored so comments can be added. An +example file is below ...
-qw(GB7TLH GB7DJK GB7DXM GB7CDX GB7BPQ GB7DXN GB7MBC GB7MBC-6 GB7MDX
- GB7NDX GB7SDX GB7TDX GB7UDX GB7YDX GB7ADX GB7BAA GB7DXA GB7DXH
- GB7DXK GB7DXI GB7DXS)
+# Below is a list of words we do not wish to see on the cluster
+grunge grunged grunging
+splodge splodger splodging
+grince
+fluffle
-Any mail sent to "sysop" would only be sent to the callsigns in this list. -
-
In later versions of Spider a simple console program is provided for the sysop. -This has a type ahead buffer with line editing facilities and colour for spots, -announces etc. To use this program, simply use console.pl instead of client.pl. +
Multiple words can be used on the same line as shown. Obviously these +are just examples :-)
-
To edit the colours, copy /spider/perl/Console.pl to /spider/local and edit the -file with your favourite editor. +
You can reload the file from the cluster prompt as sysop with load/badwords.
