NAME

BSOpack - Packs outgoing Netmails into Arcmail bundles.  

SYNOPSIS

bsopack [-d] [-q] [-c fidoconfig] [-h|--help]  

DESCRIPTION

BSOpack is used to pack outgoing plain netmail (*.?ut) to arcmail bundles (*.?lo) for links.
This program is part of the HUSKY package and it uses common husky config (fidoconfig).  

OPTIONS

 

-c fidoconfig

Specify alternate fidoconfig (husky configuration) file.
 

-q

Supress screen output.
 

-d

Enable debug output to screen.
 

-h

 

--help

Output small help into screen.  

RETURN VALUE

 

0

All fine  

255 or 65535

Error detected. See log file or screen output (if enabled) for details.  

HOW IT WORKS

At first it checks fidoconfig: if packNetmail for the link is on and if a packer is defined. Next it checks if this link is not busy. Then it searches for *.?ut files in the outbound. If the size of all found *.?ut is greater than maxUnpackedNetmail, these files will be renamed to *.pkt (using tempOutbound if this token is specified in fidoconfig) and put resulted *.pkt into an arcmail bundle. So, your mail should never be lost.
If any error occurs (and *pkt rested into tempOutbound), a "hpt scan" command will find this packet and (if this packet is for a link listed in fidoconfig) pack it into a bundle with echomail. The packet will be added to the most recently used bundle until the size of the bundle is greater than 'arcmailSize' for the link. If you specify is processed independently. It creates bundle names using an algorithm of two addresses differences.
The log file 'bsopack.log' is placed into 'logFileDir'.
