Revised LISTSERV forum <LSTSRV-L@CEARN> |
I've got a few questions/problems:
1. I tried to locate (or rather check for the existence of) a list
dealing with a particular subject (oracle software in my case).
I began an LDBASE session as follows:
sel oracle in lists
bingo - 2 hits; I asked for: sendback print all, and what I got
really was the header of two lists - but, the header does not include
the name of the list or its "home" LISTSERV (unless it's peered).
So - I have the description only ! (I solved it by guessing that the
owners have are on the same machine where the list is "based", I
queried these LISTSERVs for LIST and from there it was easy..
I really think that there should be a more elegant (and easier)
way to get the info. I wanted.
Did I go anything wrong ? Missed something ? Or was I really asking
for a new feature ?
2. When one gets filelists they do not contain an immediate info. of
the last date it was updated (yes - I can go through the whole list,
or XEDIT and SORT). Could that date be written at the top of the
file, where it says "LISTSERV FILELIST for LISTSERV at ..." ?
3. Last but not least - I own some lists and I tried to add a pw to
them (initially created without) by changing the PW=XXXXXXXX at the
list header I GoT to PW=my_password; then I stored it back, and got
the mail from LISTSERV saying that the file was stored, warning
that the list had no password; I also tried to NEWPW=my_password,
but this didn't work either. What am I doing wrong ?
(Our LISTSERV is 1.6C)
