You do this with the export command from the cluster prompt +as the sysop. For example ... +

+

+
+export 5467 /spider/perl/keps.in
+
+
+

would export message number 5467 as a file called keps.in in the +/spider/perl directory. +

Now login to a VT as sysop and cd /spider/perl. There is a command in +the perl directory called convkeps.pl. All we need to do now is +convert the file like so ... +

+

+
+./convkeps.pl keps.in

Now go back to the cluster and issue the command ... +

+

+
+load/keps
+
+
+

That is it! the kepler data has been updated. +
