I am hoping that one of the Lsoft folks might have knowledge of the internal workings of Listserv and could answer this. Periodically (basically whenever I think of it) I send in the following to Apple: // job pw=xxxxxxxx review chinook-l all query chinook-l for *@* review sibernet-l all query sibernet-l for *@* // eoj And Listserv returns 3 emails. Then I run a script against the reader que that receives them and extracts the info I want and send them to my PC. Today, the script got into an endless loop. I killed it and started stepping thru the script. The bug was easy enough to find, but why just now when its been running for almost two years? Looking at the bug, it would only fail if the file containing the o/p of the 2 queries was not the 3rd file in the reader que. Today it was the first. The previous time I ran it was 10/13. Has there been a change in Listserv that would change the order or was this just a random occurance? -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
