I'm trying to concoct a "clean" method of passing BITEARN NODES (which
is sent to me) on to LISTSERV (which is where it resides on our system).
 
I just tried the following script (most responses deleted; remaining ones
indented), which seemed to work just fine.  Would anyone care to critique
it for pitfalls?  (In particular, is the "online" command necessary/dan-
gerous?)
 
q rdr all
  RSCSV2   2990 A PUN 00032386 001 NONE 01/06 02:23:35 BITEARN   NODES  UICVM
tell listserv offline
tell listserv cms erase bitearn nodesbkp
tell listserv cms rename bitearn nodes a bitearn nodesbkp a
transfer rdr 2990 to listserv
  RDR FILE 2990 TRANSFERRED TO   LISTSERV RDR FILE 9048
tell listserv cms receive 9048
tell listserv online
tell listserv shutdown reipl
