This directory is used by the ITS mailing system; that is, the QMAIL
|
||
and Satellite programs. Please DO NOT EVER delete any file from this
|
||
directory; also, the programs therein should not be modified without
|
||
first consulting BUG-MAIL. If GC'ing must be done on program files,
|
||
do not delete either the most recent or most ancient file (which is
|
||
usually around for a reason). Under some circumstances, BURNUP dumps
|
||
can gobble up gross amounts of space. In this situation, flushing
|
||
intermediate dumps (never first or last) is OK.
|
||
|
||
The files with particular automated functions are:
|
||
ID 69 creation date indicates when current STATS file began.
|
||
FROM INQUIR creation date indicates when current INQUIR file written.
|
||
LOCK UNIQUE page shared by all comsats for lock-switch functions
|
||
LIST MASTER master message list
|
||
LIST QUEUE queue information file
|
||
LIST REMIND reminders list file
|
||
LIST EQVS equivalence table data "compiled" from NAMES
|
||
LISTS MSGS holds text of messages in queue.
|
||
|
||
BURNUP binary dumps of satellites that detect fatal errors.
|
||
COMSAT the binary actually loaded and run.
|
||
MAIL input to the satellite.
|
||
NAMES the ASCII form of the equivalence tables.
|
||
STATS statistics and running commentary kept by the satellite.
|
||
|
||
there also exist parallel sets for experimental versions:
|
||
XLOCK XQUEUE XREF XMAIL XNAMES XSTATS etc. |
