UUXQT: .21 Add Taylor options to UUXQT. See the man page. .20 Added rgsmtp by request, like rcsmtp. Added more checking to break the loop if a command fails. .19 Added rlharc for Peter Simons LHarcUUCP. .18 Changes to support UseSubDirs. If UseSubDirs is set, UUXQT will scan for files in UUSpool as well as all its subdirectories. If a hostname is given as an argument, UUXQT will process only that hostname's subdirectory. .17 Parse the X.* file more cleanly. Error messages now go to stderr, not stdout. .16 Cleaned up debugging output (when compiled with PROCDEBUG). .15 Doesn't confusingly report that there are "no files to process" when re-checking for new files, after the first set has already been processed. Exits quietly. .14 Reformatted. RNEWS now gets file named explicitly instead of as stdin. This is a performance win (fewer seeks). Checks are made earlier to see if UUXQT is already running. No longer explicitly name UUSPOOL when doing directory scan, this should improve scan times (UUXQT does a chdir() to UUSPOOL almost first thing -- always has, so that is the current directory for the scan). Improved some error handling. UUXQT used to halt after the first batch had an error. Not any more. The individual error is logged, then UUXQT goes on to the next batch. The total number of batches with errors is logged at the end, if there are any. What, me worry? .12 Renames control files after error instead of deleting them or leaving them as is. X. -> E. Does not chdir back to home directory after error but before scan is done. Understands BSMTP (batch SMTP) .11 mungecase_filename() call added, uuxqt will handle both unmunged and munged file names (see uucico below) .10 redirection changed from "< file" to "<file" .09 An error would cause uuxqt to run the remainder of the X. files but NOT delete them! .08 A newly run UUXQT checks if it is already running, and if so logs the fact and exits immediately. .07 fixed enforcer hit .06 (1.08 release) now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .05 now sorts command file list before excuting it. UUXQT now calls RNews without the 'USENET' argument, to support third party rnews replacements Now generates a single line summy to the log .04 Fixed bug in command line handling .03 Locks at beginning, unlocks at end (sequences multiply run UUXQTs) .02 File limit upped to 1000, conforms with new library routines to obtain directory paths. .01 First sub release number assigned. 11-Jul-88 by Dan Schein Added support for unknown command request(s) Added support for a RMAIL command Added "New Files Received." message Added Beta Version number UUCICO: .30 Validate -n (Window Size) for between 1 and 7 Validate -P (Segment Size) for between 2 and 8 .29 Added -Q option for UUCICO to pass the specific hostname to UUXQT so it would know what specific host to process incoming files for. Fixed a problem in uuxqt() where it was possible (although unlikely) for a pointer to be used improperly. .28 If there were not outgoing files, then incoming files would come into the UUSpool: directory, instead of the appropriate UUSpool:<system> subdirectory when UseSubDirs was set to yes. .27 Accept "-proto 1" as well as "-p 1". .26 Added -nodelay and -packets to be compatible with wusel's UUCICO. -nodelay causes UUCICO to not wait after a "no chars found at port" (added as part of Steve Drew's changes. see below starting at "Small mods added.."). For very high speed devices, it could cause a problem. -packets causes UUCICO to calculate the most efficient packet size to use for outgoing packets. NOTE: MANY UNIX SYSTEMS WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS PROPERLY. Taylor UUCP does, of course. Without this set, if -P6 (1024 byte packets) and only 100 bytes needed to be sent, all 1024 bytes were sent. With this set, only 128 bytes are set. .25 Added checking for USESUBDIRS to uucico.c in read_ctl() and to sysdep.c in work_scan(). If work_scan() cannot find files to process in UUSpool:<system_name> it will search simply UUSpool:. Logfile name when getty changed to T:uucico.log from "uuslave.log". work_scan() no longer terminates the passed hostname after seven characters. It still only *uses* 7, as do UUX and sendmail; but the parameter is not modified (this fixes a problem where a second work_scan for the same system would fail -- because a full hostname over seven characters would now only be seven chars, and the directory couldn't be found). Several statics depended on DICE startup setting locals to zero without an initializer. No more. Noticed that turnon() doesn't know about ^PRLCK. Didn't fix it though. .24 Included all of Steve Drew's sd-3 changes, except for the setvbuf() one. I set _bufsiz to 8192, so that all stdio files have a buffer of 8K. SD-3 also included the XferStat patches from Andrew Kopp, as modified by John Bickers, so they are in here as well. Fixed/improved a hair on the way Steve was calling the mailer's and now get the mailer specified in UULib:Config instead of always using "sendmail". Included Russell McOrmond's patch to set_baud in sysdep.c where Overide was not being checked before the baud rate of the serial port was being changed. Included several of my debugging patches. All malloc's are now checked. Included 'wusel's patches to fix rename() where the destination name wasn't sent by the remote UUCICO. Allows a directory destination (from the UUCP command) where the destination was specified as a directory, and the filename should be the same as the origination filename. Filesize and CPS rate for receive_file and send_file are logged, based on wusel's patches. Based on wusel's patches, added UUXqtInterval where UUXQT is started every 'x' number of file pairs (UUXqtInterval is 'x'). Added UUXqtPriority, which defines the priority that UUXqt is started at. On 1.3, Execute() is used, on 2.0+, System(). The parameter options NDxXrnPstB and -proto now may have their arguments either WITH OR WITHOUT a space. The -N option now has the parameter length checked against maxhostlen (20). XferStat now has a single array with the logfile name in it, and the protocol is always logged (was just for 'G' & 'g'). Externs cleaned up, all necessary externs are "Prototype"d and SysBase and DOSBase are in "includes.h". Eliminated use of "shorts" in deference to ints. Most honest-to-goodness error messages used to go to stdout. They now go to stderr. I think I got most of them. Debug messages still go to stdout. Most real error messages are also logged. After closing the serial port, now wait 5 seconds (used to be 3) before trying to reopen it. UUCICO now reports when it doesn't know the system name, without failing quietly. Now, if a send-expect timeout occurs, and no retries/retransmits (ie, the '-' in the send-expect string) are left, the loop stops without sending the other stuff in the send-expect string. A couple of FAIL vs. REFUSED checks were wrong (normally not important, but I wanted it correct); and a couple of if() statements depended on SUCCESS == 0. On a send-expect abort, don't run UUXqt. In local_receive_file() the "Receive" request was being built with garbage on the end. Most UUCP's couldn't care less, because the garbage was AFTER everything they looked for. Taylor cares because it has extensions that use the space afterwards. Thanks to Peter Woods <peterw@swamp.amigans.gen.nz> for noticing this and providing a fix that I based my fix on. Also added some additional logging (at level 1) to note when this happens. These are Steve Drew's (drew@bootrom.cgo.dec.com) changes: o Small mods to reading chars that results in less cpu load when recieving data at high speeds. This only seems to have a noticeable benifit to faster Amiga's ie 020/030/040 machines. I have seen the load go from %70 down to < %10 on a 030 machine. o Fix to getname() that resulted in overwritting memory for systems that gave > 20 chars of data in the Shere message. (Thanks to Kai 'wusel' Siering for the fix). o run sendmail async o Added Mail notify on failure/success file copies (see below) o Added Packet retransmit loggin. (adds line to uuspool: if any retransmits) o GIO changes to Force failure if > %25 packets in error. o Fixed bug with send_file returning COPYFAIL (otherwise AmigaUUCP could loose files on send if protocol error just after startup) o Logging of phone number dialed to logfile (even if dial fails). o Record device used and phone number dailed in xferstat. o Records if conversation failed to both logfile and xferstat. xferstat example: < bigsys 06-12-92 00:45:36 > 06-12-92 00:45:49 (00:00:13) 1121 590 52% | g 3 256 427 14155 # 0 7680 # 0 1 | VIA device serial.device unit 0 number 5558014 # Conversation FAILED => LOGFILE .23 send-expect timeout modified for instr(). .22 dialer now checks for other messages such as BUSY, NO DIALTONE, etc.... uucico now munges file names to handle case-sensitivity problems (specifically, incomming queue files that are case-sensitive and collide due to AmigaDOS's case insensitivity). Only *. files in UUSPOOL: are effected by this, and the option may be disabled through a new Config variable called 'MungeCase' which should be set to N to disable the feature. Temporary file names now put the 'TMP' at the head of the file instead of on the end, preventing UUXQT from attempting to execute X. files that are still in-progress. .21 +++ timing changed, shouldn't effect operation except make +++ hangups faster. Now keeps statistics of connection time and bytes transfered and writes this to UUSPOOL:TimeLog .20 added -T<timeout> option to specify the send-expect timeout. The default is 15 seconds. .19 fixed bug in G protocol close -P option added - set packet size (see manual page) added workaround fix for bug in A2232 serial.device's AbortIO(). enable drainmode on RecvdAck error. .18 (1.12, 1.13) send-expect works now w/ "" for send string without having to use -xx .17 line 1337 (yesno) failure code changed from S4 to R4 .16 (1.11) alternate send-expect strings added .15 bug in -pri option fixed .14 (1.08R2 release) bug in master loop fixed, would repeat failed work attempts continuously -t option added - specify timeout for packet retry. Default is 5, but in many cases setting it to -t1 will yield better error recovery. Do NOT lower the timeout if you connect to a loaded down host. .13 (1.08 release) 'Timeout' config entry now scanned to set timeout for connection. When waiting for the 'S' handshake at the beginning, as in Shere= ... added termination if ^J is detected. Hack to fix certain broken uucp hosts (tuvie). .12 spool files now string-sorted before being sent out, thus will be sent in sequence order. However, since news files are now named differently they are sent out after email files. -d0 added --- UUCico uses +++ instead of dropping DTR -p # option added -- protocol hack option to change the way Shere works. see manual -pri option added .. +1 during transfer, -1 during uuxqt. UUCico now rescans the work directory after exhausting it while still in master mode, to check if any new work has arrived in the mean time. UUCico now renames C. files that have been REFUSED to REFUSED.C.* UUCico now sends a <cr>AT<cr><delay> before sending the dial string, to recover from a modem error. .11 GIO.C fixed up yet again ~ paths fixed in all cases, refer to MAN/UUCP Time Restrictions added by Christopher A. Wichura. .10 Allow two forms for the dial string in the L.Sys file: 5551234 (just the number) ATDT5551234 (full AT command) ATM1DT5551234 (another example) This allows you to specify options specific to the particular system you are calling. Make sure the appropriate AT commands are listed in the GETTY command line to 'reset' the modem properly. .09 Allow combined -r1 -ssystem name ... means "Call this particular system only if there is work for it" .08 New protocol module GIO.C supports window size of 7 File limit upped to a 1000 from 300. .07 Now sends manual ack (RR packet) instead of relying on piggy-backed ack. .06 as of date 25 January 1989 .05 G protocol now windows, window = 2. Normally arbitrates for window size, can be defeated (forced to 1) by using -n option. Accepts filenames ~/path or ~user/path. ~/path uses UUPUB: while ~user/path looks up the home directory in the Getty:Passwd file, defaulting to UUPUB: if the requested user could not be found. .04 only deletes queue files in a set if ALL make it across... before would delete each file individually. added security feature, does not allow remote end to send C.#? files to our uuspool: .02 G protocol rewritten from scratch .01 Security list (UULIB:Security) allowed directories for remote requests. Getty support File Locking (lib/lockfile.c) UUCP: .07 Add Taylor options to UUCP command. See the man page. .06 Interim release. .05 Builds UUSpool: directory & filename properly now (full system name, only 7 chars in filenames). Uses safe_chdir() to restore directory after UUCP is complete. .04 Now, checks for USESUBDIRS config option, and if set, try to use UUSPOOL:systemname. If a Lock() on that directory fails, then place command files in UUSPOOL the old way. Accept "-u user" and "-g grade" options, to set the user and grades used. User, as before, defaults to what is set in UULib:config. Grade, as before, defaults to "A". Fixed extra chdir() bug where a lock could be left on UUSPOOL. Eliminated lots of unused, unrequired, static arrays. .03 UUCP no longer reads UULib:Config directly, it uses the library routines. No longer uses 'ints' to hold addresses. Error messages go to stderr, not stdout. Global pointers are properly null'ed. Added an atexit() handler, to deal with locks and libraries. Reformat. .02 (1.08 release) now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .01 Changed to use library routines to obtain directory paths .00 First sub release assigned UUNAME: .03 UUNAME now works as advertised. New -c and -l arguments are recognized, in conformance with HDB UUCP. Duplicate sites in L.Sys are not listed. .02 (1.08 release) now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .01 Changed to use library routines to obtain directory paths .00 First sub release assigned UUSTAT: .02 Now check UseSubDirs .01 Initial release UUX: .11 Add Taylor options to UUX. See the man page. .10 Changed the Copy() routine to use AmigaDOS Read/Write for even more speed, and fewer buffer hits. The local NodeName is now recognized implicitly as a valid host, even though not specified in the L.Sys file. UUX now recognizes the changes in the filenames that have to be specified if the destination is the local host (ie, the C. file is not created at all, the D. file containing commands is changed to an X. file, the I and F filenames in the X. file are renamed appropriately). .09 UUX was looking for 7-char directories in UUSpool. Fixed. .08 Added checks for UseSubDir. If set, then place files in subdirectories of UUSPOOL. If not, do as always. Add -g (grade), -u (user), and -n (no copy) options. Up stdio buffer size to 8K. Improves performance dramatically. .07 Removed enforcer hit/array limits on filesize. Now used buffered stdio for copying the data file instead of character stdio. Error messages now go to stderr, instead of stdout. No files are left open at exit, now. All global pointers are properly null'ed. No more 16/32 bit assumptions (addresses were in ints). Reformat. .06 Fixed U line in X. file .05 (1.08 release) Now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .04 Now uses GetUserName() call .03 Fixed queue file naming, now names remote files properly .02 Changed to use library routines to obtain directory paths .01 Uses UULIB: instead of UUCP:LIB UUHOSTS: .04 Updated. Its still worthless, use UUNAME. .03 (1.08 release) now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .02 Changed to use library routines to obtain directory paths .01 Uses UULIB: instead of UUCP:LIB UUPOLL: .05 Removed stuff that doesn't make any difference any more (like checking T:UUCP.LOCK) and ANSI'ed the program. It's still worthless. Don't use it. .04 (1.08 release) now returns an exit code of 0 instead of garbage .03 Changed to use library routines to obtain directory paths .02 Uses UULIB: instead of UUCP:LIB Uses run >nil: <nil: instead of brun <all-Programs-major-changes> Dec-90 V1.08 release Dec-89 Matthew Dillon. Modified to conform with my release. Specifically, now use common library routines in uucp:src/lib, file locking routines, logging routines, etc... Apr-89 Matthew Dillon. Prototyping added (not 100% but method now exists set so people don't go off and make up their own schemes)
