I'm speaking about:
GLOBAL DD=ddname options
Where 'options' could be 'BACKBONE', 'ALL', 'RELEASE(xxx)',
'COUNTRY(xxx)' or 'PRETTY(postmastress)' :-) The ddname would then be
forwarded to all the corresponding servers for execution. I'm also not
sure whether or not I should allow a single command to be forwarded this
way. It would make it TOO EASY to use and end-users would start up
'GLOBAL REGISTER That''s me!!!', 'GLOBAL SIGNUP IBMPC-L' (lots of
requests for subscription to the postmaster if this is a peered list),
'GLOBAL LIST DETAILED' (quite a lot of output), 'GLOBAL GET xx yy' (well
I just wanna get the xx yy file from whatever this nodeid I can't
remember, I sure didn't want 100 copies from all around the world, this
**** server is all **** up!!!!!!), etc. Note that this is already
feasible, but then you have to create the DIST job yourself, which means
you need a list of all the LISTSERVs.
