Greetings All!

Im curious how everyone is updating nodelist on receipt of either a diff or weekly update, seems I have to do it manually?

No. But it's a bit of a "chain" to setup.

Whenever there are .tic files received by my mailer htick is run like this:

.../htick -c .../husky.config toss

In my husky.config I have the following lines:

FileArea NODEDIFZ [FileAreaDir]/nodedifz -g FidoNet -d "Nodediffs in zip format" -a 2:280/464 2:.../...
[...]
# === Fidonet Worldwide Nodelist ===
Nodelist NODELIST
DiffUpdate [FileAreaDir]/nodedifz/NODEDIFF
NodelistFormat Standard
DefaultZone 2
[...]
ExecOnFile NODEDIFZ NODEDIFF.Z?? [basedir]/bin/nlupdate.sh

The nlupdate.sh script contains these lines:

.../nlupd -c .../husky.config -q
[...]
.../gnlnx -C

('...' are paths on my system)


Bye, Wilfred.

I think I see how this works, one question just after your FileArea line and before the #=== line you have [...] which you said indicates a path on your system, is this a change in path or directory here? and if so where do I need to be pointing? Thank you!

Rick

The nlupdate.sh script contains these lines:

I see the [...] are separators... lol

so the only part I see that confuses me a little is ;

2 [...] ExecOnFile NODEDIFZ NODEDIFF.Z?? [basedir]/bin/nlupdate.sh

what is [basedir]? for nodelists? if the case you have a bin dir in yours? or is there meant to be a space there before running script?

With the reduction in numbers of nodes compared to say 10+ years ago and over the last year or two I have discontinued from processing NODEDIFF files and just use the nodelist or Z2DAILY files.

Currently just the daily files as they are updated daily for all zones, but do pass on the nodelist and nodediffs for downlinks.

Ok, sorry for the confusion. In the husky.config section '[...]' it has the regular meaning of left out lines. ;-)
And in reality I don't have 1 big husky.config file, but it is split up in a few sections that are included in the main file.

The only explicit change in path (with a cd command) I do, is before gnlnx that needs to be executed in the directory where the golded config files reside.

basedir is defined in the first lines of my husky.config file as:

set basedir=/home/fido
set FileAreaDir=[basedir]/fileareas

It's the home dir for all my fido related stuff...

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to work out a issue with the nlupd command. It's not fining one of the nodelist files, and is reporting a
different file name to what is in the archive.

reporting not finding: amylist.104
actual file name: AmyList.104

As listed in the hpt config, I have the correct spelling/case of the file name, and it's working for the other
networks.

I changed the nodelist line to be all Caps, and it looks like that is just for the final output of the nodelist as it's now all CAPS on the
filesystem.... Added the defaultzone for extra points!
