-<P>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.
-<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss10.2">10.2 Downtime message</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>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.
+<P>Spider allows the creation of local or remote databases. It supports
+chained databases, allowing several different databases to be scanned
+with one simple command. Importing of databases is limited at present
+to the standard AK1A databases such as OBLAST and the DB0SDX QSL
+database but will expand with time.
<P>
-<H2><A NAME="ss10.3">10.3 Other text messages</A>
+<H2><A NAME="ss10.1">10.1 Creating databases</A>
</H2>
-<P>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 <EM>packclus</EM>.
-Under this directory you can create files called <EM>news</EM> or <EM>newuser</EM>
-for example. In fact you can create files with any names you like. These can
-be listed by the user with the command ....
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

-<P>They can be read by the user by typing the command ....
+<P>Creating a database could not be more simple. All the commands are
+sent from the cluster prompt as the <EM>sysop</EM> user.
+<P>To create a database you use the command <EM>dbcreate</EM>. It can
+be used in 3 different ways like so ..
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
-type news

</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>If the file they want to read is called <EM>news</EM>. You could also set
-an alias for this in the Alias file to allow them just to type <EM>news</EM>
-<P>
-<P>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
-<EM>bulletins</EM>. Now copy any OPDX or similar bulletins into it. These
-can be listed by the user in the same way as above using the <EM>show/files</EM>
-command with an extension for the bulletins directory you have just created,
-like this ....
+<P>To simply create a database locally, you just tell the command the
+name of the database. This does not create the actual database, it
+simply defines it to say that it exists.

-<P>This is assuming you downloaded to the /tmp directory of course.
+<P>You can create aliases for commands at will. Beware though, these may not
+always turn out as you think. Care is needed and you need to test the
+results once you have set an alias.
<P>
-<P>NOTE: the 'p' on the end of the 'xvfz' is IMPORTANT! It keeps the permissions
-correct. YOU WERE LOGGED IN AS THE USER SYSOP WEREN'T YOU?????
-<P>Remember to recompile the C client (cd /spider/src; make)
+<H2><A NAME="ss11.5">11.5 Console.pl</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>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.

+<P>To edit the colours, copy /spider/perl/Console.pl to /spider/local and edit the

+<H2><A NAME="ss11.6">11.6 Updating kepler data</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>Spider has a powerful and flexible show/satellite command. In order for
+this to be accurate, the kepler data has to be updated regularly. In
+general, this data is available as an email or via cluster mail.
+Updating it is simple. First you need to export the mail message as a
+file. You do this with the <EM>export</EM> command from the cluster prompt
+as the sysop. For example ...
<P>
-<P>At this point the files have been upgraded. You can (usually) restrt the cluster
-in your own time. However, if you attempt to use any new commands or features
-expect it to be fatal! At least your cluster will have been restarted then so it
-will be too late to worry about it!
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>would export message number 5467 as a file called keps.in in the
+/spider/perl directory.
+<P>Now login to a VT as sysop and cd /spider/perl. There is a command in
+the perl directory called <EM>convkeps.pl</EM>. All we need to do now is
+convert the file like so ...
<P>
-<P>Now the magic part! From now on when you want to update, simply connect to the

+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
-cd /spider
-cvs -z3 update -d

</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>and your files will be updated. As above, remember to recompile the "C" client
-if it has been updated (CVS will tell you) and restart if any of the perl scripts
-have been altered or added, again, CVS will tell you.
+<P>That is it! the kepler data has been updated.
<P>
-<P>You will find any changes documented in the /spider/Changes file.

-<P>
-<P>DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actually
-create anything, just defines it.
-<P>The databases that are created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are
-therefore already 'indexed'.
-<P>You can define a local database with the first form of the command eg:
-<P>DBCREATE oblast
-<P>You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword.
-This will search each database one after the other. A typical example
-is:
-<P>DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
-<P>No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist, in
-fact it is usually better to do the above statement first then do each of
-the chained databases.
-<P>Databases can exist offsite. To define a database that lives on another
-node do:
-<P>DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
-<P>Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a
-a chain can be a remote database eg:
-<P>DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
-<P>To see what databases have been defined do:
-<P>DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
-<P>It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases file

-<P><CODE><B>reject/spots [0-9] <pattern></B> Set a reject filter line for spots</CODE>
-<P>
-<P>Create a 'reject this spot' line for a filter.
-<P>A reject filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is
-dumped (not passed on). See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
-to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
-<P>You can use any of the following things in this line:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
- freq <range> eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
- on <range> same as 'freq'
- call <prefixes> eg: G,PA,HB9
- info <string> eg: iota or qsl
- by <prefixes>
- call_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
- call_itu <numbers>

- by_dxcc <numbers>
- by_itu <numbers>
- by_zone <numbers>
- origin <prefixes>
- channel <prefixes>
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in
-SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
-thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -
-this is more efficient than saying simply: on HF (but don't get
-too hung up about that)
-<P>some examples:-
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
- rej/spot 1 on hf
- rej/spot 2 on vhf and not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)

-<P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
-a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
-power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)
-<P>The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
-levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
-specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
-paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
-for paths shorter or longer than this.
-<P>The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
-used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
-hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
-receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
-with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
-than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
-such as the Voice of America.
-<P>The command will display some header information detailing its
-assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
-bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
-(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
-(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
-the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.
-<P>The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
-6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
-1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
-there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
-to be noisy.

-system. You can send it to anyone you can see with a SHOW/CONFIGURATION
-command, they don't have to be connected locally.
-<P>The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected
-with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send
-the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.
-<P>If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only
-see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the
-second form of the talk message.
-<P>If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text message
-out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that a
-short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a 'Talking'
-frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send will go to the
-station that you asked for.
-<P>All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on your

<abstract>
A reference for SysOps of the DXSpider DXCluster program.
</abstract>
Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by using the
Forward.pl file very carefully.
+<sect>Databases
+
+<P>
+Spider allows the creation of local or remote databases. It supports
+chained databases, allowing several different databases to be scanned
+with one simple command. Importing of databases is limited at present
+to the standard AK1A databases such as OBLAST and the DB0SDX QSL
+database but will expand with time.
+
+<sect1>Creating databases
+
+<P>
+Creating a database could not be more simple. All the commands are
+sent from the cluster prompt as the <em>sysop</em> user.
+
+To create a database you use the command <em>dbcreate</em>. It can
+be used in 3 different ways like so ..
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbcreate <name>
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+To simply create a database locally, you just tell the command the
+name of the database. This does not create the actual database, it
+simply defines it to say that it exists.
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>...]
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+This creates a chained database entry. The first database will be
+scanned, then the second, the third etc...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbcreate <name> remote <name>
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+This creates a remote entry. the first name field is the database
+name at the remote node, then the remote switch, then the actual
+node_call of the remote node, for example...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbcreate buckmaster remote gb7dxc
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+Remote databases cannot be chained, however, the last database in a
+chain can be a remote database.
+
+<sect1>Importing databases
+
+<P>
+The only databases that Spider can currently import are the standard
+AK1A databases such as OBLAST or the DB0SDX qsl and address database.
+This will be added to with time.
+
+To import such a database, first put the file somewhere useful like /tmp
+and then issue the following command ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbimport oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+This will update the existing local oblast database or create it if
+it does not exist.
+
+<sect1>Checking available databases
+
+<P>
+Once a database is created, you will want to check that it has been
+added. To do this use the <em>dbavail</em> command. This will
+output the available databases. For example ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbavail
+DB Name Location Chain
+qsl Local
+buck GB7ADX
+hftest GB7DXM
+G0VGS de GB7MBC 3-Feb-2001 1925Z >
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<sect1>Looking up databases
+
+<P>
+To look for information in a defined database, simply use the <em>dbshow</em>
+command, for example ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbshow buckmaster G0YLM
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+will show the information for the callsign G0YLM from the buckmaster
+database if it exists. To make things more standard for the users
+you can add an entry in the Aliases file so that it looks like a standard
+<em>show</em> command like this ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+'^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow',
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+Now you can simply use show/buckmaster or an abreviation.
+
+<sect1>Removing databases
+
+<P>
+To delete an existing database you use the <em>dbremove</em> command.
+For example ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+dbremove oblast
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+would remove the oblast database and its associated datafile from the
+system. There are no warnings or recovery possible from this command.
+If you remove a database it ceases to exist and would have to be created
+from scratch if you still required it.
+
<sect>Information, files and useful programs
<sect1>MOTD
Show a list of callsigns that have been excluded (locked out) of the
cluster locally with the <em>set/lockout</em> command
+<sect1>show/log (8)
+
+<P>
+<tt>
+<bf>show/log [<callsign>]</bf> Show excerpts from the system log
+</tt>
+
+<P>
+This command outputs a short section of the system log. On its own
+it will output a general logfile. With the optional callsign it will
+show output from the log associated with that callsign.

I will assume that you have already downloaded the latest tarball of
# vi /etc/group (or your favorite editor)
-
-
-
You also need to add some others to the group, including your own
callsign (this will be used as an alias) and root. The finished line
in /etc/group should look something like this
-
spider:x:251:sysop,g0vgs,root
alter the text of any section. Some of the lines look a little odd.
Take this line for example ....
+
$myemail = "ianmaude\@btinternet.com";
There appears to be an extra slash in there. However this has to be
there for the file to work so leave it in.

Allowing telnet connections is quite simple. Firstly you need to add
spdlogin 8000/tcp # spider anonymous login port
+
+
Then add a line in /etc/inetd.conf like this ....
You should now get the login prompt and be able to login as before.

In order to allow cluster node connections, spider needs to know that
any major differences at the moment, it allows for compatibility. The
4 types are ...
+
+
set/node (AK1A type)
set/spider
set/dxnet
client.pl gb7baa
PC38^GB7MBC^~
-
-
-
If the callsign you just set up as a cluster node is for an incoming
connect, this is all that needs to be done. If the connection is to
be outgoing then a connection script needs to be written.
- timeout 60
- abort (Busy|Sorry|Fail)
- # don't forget to chmod 4775 netrom_call!
- connect ax25 /usr/sbin/netrom_call bbs gb7djk g1tlh

This will automatically start DXSpider on tty7 (ALT-F7) on bootup and
restart it should it crash for any reason.

The callsign involved will be the callsign of the cluster node you are
going to connect to. This will now check every 10 minutes to see if
gb7xxx is connected, if it is then nothing will be done. If it is

+
+ Spider allows the creation of local or remote databases. It supports
+ chained databases, allowing several different databases to be scanned
+ with one simple command. Importing of databases is limited at present
+ to the standard AK1A databases such as OBLAST and the DB0SDX QSL
+ database but will expand with time.
+
+
+ 1\b10\b0.\b.1\b1.\b. C\bCr\bre\bea\bat\bti\bin\bng\bg d\bda\bat\bta\bab\bba\bas\bse\bes\bs
+
+ Creating a database could not be more simple. All the commands are
+ sent from the cluster prompt as the _\bs_\by_\bs_\bo_\bp user.
+
+ To create a database you use the command _\bd_\bb_\bc_\br_\be_\ba_\bt_\be. It can be used in
+ 3 different ways like so ..
+
+
+
+ dbcreate <name>
+
+
+
+
+ To simply create a database locally, you just tell the command the
+ name of the database. This does not create the actual database, it
+ simply defines it to say that it exists.
+
+
+
+ dbcreate <name> chain <name> [<name>...]
+
+
+
+
+ This creates a chained database entry. The first database will be
+ scanned, then the second, the third etc...
+
+
+
+ dbcreate <name> remote <name>
+
+ This creates a remote entry. the first name field is the database
+ name at the remote node, then the remote switch, then the actual
+ node_call of the remote node, for example...
+
+
+
+ dbcreate buckmaster remote gb7dxc
+
+
+
+
+ Remote databases cannot be chained, however, the last database in a
+ chain can be a remote database.
+
+
+ 1\b10\b0.\b.2\b2.\b. I\bIm\bmp\bpo\bor\brt\bti\bin\bng\bg d\bda\bat\bta\bab\bba\bas\bse\bes\bs
+
+ The only databases that Spider can currently import are the standard
+ AK1A databases such as OBLAST or the DB0SDX qsl and address database.
+ This will be added to with time.
+
+ To import such a database, first put the file somewhere useful like
+ /tmp and then issue the following command ...
+
- 1\b10\b0.\b.1\b1.\b. M\bMO\bOT\bTD\bD
+
+ dbimport oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
+
+
+
+
+ This will update the existing local oblast database or create it if it
+ does not exist.
+
+
+ 1\b10\b0.\b.3\b3.\b. C\bCh\bhe\bec\bck\bki\bin\bng\bg a\bav\bva\bai\bil\bla\bab\bbl\ble\be d\bda\bat\bta\bab\bba\bas\bse\bes\bs
+
+ Once a database is created, you will want to check that it has been
+ added. To do this use the _\bd_\bb_\ba_\bv_\ba_\bi_\bl command. This will output the
+ available databases. For example ...
+
+
+
+ dbavail
+ DB Name Location Chain
+ qsl Local
+ buck GB7ADX
+ hftest GB7DXM
+ G0VGS de GB7MBC 3-Feb-2001 1925Z >

+
+ To look for information in a defined database, simply use the _\bd_\bb_\bs_\bh_\bo_\bw
+ command, for example ...
+
+
+
+ dbshow buckmaster G0YLM
+
+
+
+
+ will show the information for the callsign G0YLM from the buckmaster
+ database if it exists. To make things more standard for the users you
+ can add an entry in the Aliases file so that it looks like a standard
+ _\bs_\bh_\bo_\bw command like this ...
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Now you can simply use show/buckmaster or an abreviation.

+
+ To delete an existing database you use the _\bd_\bb_\br_\be_\bm_\bo_\bv_\be command. For
+ example ...
+
+
+
+ dbremove oblast
+
+
+
+
+ would remove the oblast database and its associated datafile from the
+ system. There are no warnings or recovery possible from this command.
+ If you remove a database it ceases to exist and would have to be
+ created from scratch if you still required it.
+

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
to the cluster.

+ 1\b11\b1.\b.2\b2.\b. D\bDo\bow\bwn\bnt\bti\bim\bme\be m\bme\bes\bss\bsa\bag\bge\be
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
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
like. These can be listed by the user with the command ....
