- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee sends messages to a paging terminal using the SNPP and IXO
- (also known as TAP) protocols. It is normally used with no options other
- than a recipient and the message text, in which case the message is sent
- to the SNPP server where it is submitted to a page queue to be sent by a
- separate daemon process. Page groups and duty schedules are supported.
- Status notification messages indicating the success or failure of a page
- are sent via e-mail to submitters of high-priority (level 0) pages.
-
- If no message is specified on the command line, the user is prompted for
- the message text. Characters are read from standard input until a line
- containing only a period is received, or until EOF is received. All
- occurrences of whitespace within the message text are reduced to a single
- space character.
-
- Messages received by the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon that are longer than the
- maximum page length (see below) are split into multiple segments and sent
- as separate pages. Each message segment is prefixed with its segment
- number. The maximum number of segments a into which a message will be
- split is configurable. If a message exceeds this limit, the last allowed
- segment will be prefixed with 't', indicating that the message is
- truncated; otherwise, the last segment is prefixed with 'e' to indicate
- the end of the message. Messages that fit into a single page are not
- prefixed with segment numbers. All message segments are prefixed with
- CALLerid information (see RFC-1861), if available.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- The following options are supported:
-
- ----aaaa Send the page at the specified time. A time specification prefixed
- with a plus sign (+) is added to the current time. The QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee
- daemon will not send any pages with a timestamp newer than the
- current time. This feature may be used to provide a simple alarm
- clock function for meeting reminders, etc. This option applies only
- to the pagerid(s) specified by the next ----pppp option. If the specified
- time is in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS, the two-digit year is
- interpreted as follows: if the last two digits of the specified year
- are in the range 00-49 and the last two digits of the current year
- are in the range 50-99, assume the specified time is in the next
- century. Otherwise assume the specified time is in the current
- century.

- ----cccc Use a different coverage area or paging service. This option is
- only useful if the recipient has more than one pager and/or more
- than one paging service. This option applies only to the pagerid(s)
- specified by the next ----pppp option.
-
- ----CCCC Specify an alternate configuration file. This option may only be
- used on the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee server.
-
- ----dddd Debug mode. Very verbose and probably not interesting for the
- normal user. This option is provided for debugging purposes only.
-
- ----ffff Specify who the page is from. This option specifies the argument to
- the SNPP CCCCAAAALLLLLLLLeeeerrrriiiidddd command. Every message segment will be prefixed
- with the value specified by this option unless disabled by the
- msgprefix keyword in the configuration file. A null argument ( ----ffff
- "") may be specified to suppress the message prefix for a particular
- message. However, this will also suppress e-mail status
- notification. The default is the userid of the person running
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee....
-
- ----hhhh Help. Print a brief summary of the command line options.
-
- ----iiii Use interactive mode. The page is sent immediately and summary
- messages are printed during the course of the transaction. This
- option may only be used on a machine with a physically attached
- modem. This option is intended for debugging purposes only and
- should not be used in a production environment. The ----dddd option, when
- used in conjunction with this option, can be very effective in
- troubleshooting problems between the SNPP server and the remote
- paging terminal.
-
- ----llll Specify the service level for this page. The service level must be
- a number between 0 and 11, inclusive. The TME protocol specifies
- service level as follows:
-
- 0 - Priority
- 1 - Normal (default)
- 2 - Five minutes
- 3 - Fifteen minutes
- 4 - One hour
- 5 - Four hours
- 6 - Twelve hours
- 7 - Twenty Four hours
- 8 - Carrier specific '1'
- 9 - Carrier specific '2'
- 10 - Carrier specific '3'
- 11 - Carrier specific '4'
-
- With the exception of level zero, service levels have no meaning to
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee but they are accepted for compatibility with other
- programs. Pages submitted with service level zero cause e-mail to
- be sent to the submitter whenever a page succeeds or fails. Any

- option.
-
- ----mmmm This option tells QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee to read an e-mail message from standard
- input. A page is constructed by concatenating the From: header
- (XXX), the Subject: header (YYY), and lines from the message body
- (ZZZ) as follows:
-
- XXX (Subj: YYY) ZZZ ...
-
- Minimal support is provided for multipart MIME messages. The first
- part with a Content-Type: of text/plain will be processed. The
- remaining parts will be discarded. This will reduce the problems
- associated with people accidentally mailing binaries to their
- pagers.
-
- The X-sun-attachment type is not supported and should not be used.
- MIME is a documented standard. The X-sun-attachment type is neither
- documented nor standard. However, QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee will still use the
- From: and Subject: lines (but no message body) from such messages
- for those people who insist on using it anyway.
-
- A line starting with two dashes (--) in the message body (or in a
- MIME text part) is assumed to be the start of a signature and will
- cause QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee to stop processing the e-mail message at that point.
-
- ----pppp Specify the pagerid of the intended recipient. Multiple recipients
- may be specified by separating their pager IDs with commas (e.g.
- pagerid1,pagerid2,pagerid3). No spaces are permitted between
- recipients and the comma separator characters. Any ----aaaa,,,, ----cccc,,,, or ----llll
- options previously encountered on the command line are reset to
- their default values after this option is processed. This option
- may occur multiple times on the command line, each possibly preceded
- by different ----aaaa,,,, ----cccc,,,, or ----llll options.
-
- ----PPPP Like ----pppp but does not reset ----aaaa,,,, ----cccc,,,, or ----llll options previously
- encountered on the command line.
-
- ----qqqq Start a QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon. This option causes QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee to detach
- itself from the controlling terminal and run as a daemon process.
- This option requires a numerical argument. If the argument is
- greater than zero, it specifies the number of seconds QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee
- should sleep between queue runs. An argument less than zero signals
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee to accept incoming SNPP connections and write new pages to
- the page queue, but to never process the page queue. An argument of
- zero signals QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee not to listen for incoming SNPP connections,
- but to process the page queue one time and then exit. See the NOTES
- section below for more information.

-
- the ----ssss option
- the environment variable SNPP_SERVER
- the contents of the compiled in filename

- The QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee server requires a configuration file. This file is read
- one time during startup and again upon receipt of SIGHUP. The
- configuration file is made up of major and minor keyword=value pairs.
- Major keywords must start at the beginning of a line. Minor keywords
- must contain leading whitespace. All keywords must be immediately
- followed with an equal sign (=). Spaces are permitted between the equal
- sign and the value. The value may not contain whitespace. Keywords may
- appear in any order with the following four exceptions:
-
- Minor keywords must be grouped together under their respective major
- keyword.
-
- Modems must be defined before any services that reference them.
-
- Services must be defined before any pagers that reference them.
-
- Pagers must be defined before any groups that reference them.
-
- The major keywords are:
-
- administrator The e-mail address of the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee administrator.
- If defined, e-mail notification will be sent to the
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee administrator whenever a page fails (i.e.
- when mmmmaaaaxxxxttttrrrriiiieeeessss has been exceeded). This address is
- also used in the Reply-To: header for status
- notification messages sent to users who submit high-
- priority pages.
-
- forcehostname (true, false, or @mailhost) Force the destination
- address to be qualified with a hostname when sending
- e-mail status notification to users. This option can
- be used when the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon is running on a
- machine that does not handle unqualified e-mail
- addresses correctly. If the value of this keyword

-
-
- starts with the '@' character, it will be appended
- as-is to unqualified e-mail addresses. If the value
- of this keyword is "true" then the submitter's
- hostname will be appended to such addresses. The
- default is false (do not append hostnames).
-
- identtimeout The number of seconds to wait for a reply before
- giving up on RFC-1413 queries. An integer less than
- or equal to zero disables ident functionality. The
- default is 10 seconds.
-
- include If present, this keyword specifies the name of
- another configuration file that should be processed
- at this point. Processing of the current file
- resumes after the specified file has been processed.
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee makes no attempt to prevent infinite
- recursion; do not use this keyword in multiple files
- that point at each other.
-
- pidfile If present, this keyword specifies a file into which
- the server should write its process ID. For security
- reasons, the file must already exist and it must be
- writable by the userid in effect while the server is
- running. If either if these conditions are not
- satisfied, this keyword is silently ignored.
-
- sigfile If present, this keyword specifies a file containing
- an alternate signature that qpage should append to
- e-mail status notification messages sent to page
- submitters. Use sigfile=/dev/null to suppress the
- signature completely.
-
- synchronous (true or false) Whether or not queue runs are
- synchronized with new pages. If true, the submission
- of a new page initiates a queue run without waiting
- for the normal sleep counter (set by the -q option).
- If false, the page is queued and the server waits for
- the time remaining on the sleep counter (if any)
- before starting another queue run. The default is
- true.
-
- lockdir The location of the lock directory. This keyword may
- be used to override the compiled in location of the
- lock directory. It should rarely be necessary to
- specify this keyword.
-
- snpptimeout The number of seconds to wait for an SNPP command
- before terminating the connection. The default is 60
- seconds.

-
-
- queuedir The location of the page queue. There is no default
- queue directory; this option must be specified in the
- configuration file.
-
- modem The start of a modem definition. The argument to
- this keyword is the name of a modem device (e.g.
- hayes). This keyword has the following minor
- keywords:
-
- text Optional text specified by the
- administrator. This text may not
- contain whitespace. However,
- underscores are converted to spaces
- when the value of this keyword is
- read. This keyword is not interpreted
- by QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee and is only provided for
- the administrator's convenience.
-
- device The name of the device the modem is
- physically connected to, such as
- /dev/cua/a. There is no default
- device; this option must be specified
- in the configuration file.
-
- initcmd The initialization command for this
- modem. The initialization command
- must cause the modem to respond with
- OK. The default initialization
- command is ATZ. dialcmd The dial
- command for this modem. The dial
- command specified here should not
- contain any phone number. The default
- dial command is ATDT.
-
- service The start of a paging service definition. The
- argument to this keyword is the name of the paging
- service. If a service named ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuulllltttt exists, the
- values of its minor keywords are used as defaults for
- all other service definitions. This keyword has the

- with previous QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee versions, a
- physical device path may be specified
- here. However, this may not be
- supported in future releases; modem
- definitions should be used instead.
-
- dialcmd The command that the modem should use
- to connect to the remote paging
- service. This keyword is accepted for
- backward compatibility with previous
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee versions and may not be
- supported in future releases. If
- specified, this keyword overrides the
- dialcmd keyword in all modem
- specifications used by this service.
-
- phone The phone number of the paging
- service. The specified phone number
- will be appended to the modem's
- dialcmd when calling the paging
- service.
-
- password The password to use when logging into
- the remote paging service. The IXO
- specification defines the password as
- an optional six character alphanumeric
- string. Most paging services in the
- United States do not require a
- password. The default is an empty
- string ("").
-
- baudrate The speed to use while talking to the
- modem. The default is 300 baud.
-
- parity The parity to use (even, odd, or none)
- while talking to the modem. The
- default is even.
-
- maxmsgsize The maximum number of characters
- allowed in a single page segment. The
- default is 80 characters.
-
- maxpages The maximum number of page segments to

- whether to use the ident response as
- the message prefix if no CALLerid SNPP
- command is received. The default is
- true.
-
- allowpid (true or false) This keyword specifies
- whether the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon will
- accept numeric pagerids for pagers not
- specified in the configuration file.
- The default service is used for such
- pagerids unless the user explicitly

-
- msgprefix (true or false) Whether to prepend the
- sender's name (the CALLerid
- information) to the beginning of each
- page segment. This keyword can be set
- to false for paging services that
- support numeric pagers if the message
- contains only digits. The default for

-
- member A member of this group. The member
- must have a valid ppppaaaaggggeeeerrrr entry before

- specified. This keyword may appear
- multiple times within a single group.
-
- The service named "default" always exists (even if not specified in the
- configuration file) and has the default values listed above. However,
- the default service may be redefined in the configuration file if
- desired.
-
- Member definitions within a page group have the syntax:

-
- Where the square brackets indicate an optional duty schedule. The duty
- schedule has the same syntax as the TTTTiiiimmmmeeee parameter in the UUCP SSSSyyyysssstttteeeemmmmssss
- file: DDDDaaaayyyy is a list of case-sensitive weekday abbreviations (e.g.
- MoTuTh), SSSSttttaaaarrrrtttt is the start time (e.g. 800), and EEEEnnnndddd is the end time
- (e.g. 1700). The word AAAAnnnnyyyy is synonymous with SSSSuuuuMMMMooooTTTTuuuuWWWWeeeeTTTThhhhFFFFrrrrSSSSaaaa.... Midnight
- may be represented as either 0 or 2400. The time range must not span
- across midnight. A slash is required to separate the duty schedule from
- the member name. Multiple member definitions for the same person with

-
- All 8-bit characters are stripped to 7 bits before they are transmitted
- to the paging service, regardless of the parity setting defined in the
- configuration file. Also, all control characters (ASCII values between
- 0x00 and 0x20) are "escaped" as specified by the IXO/TAP protocol.
- Escaping is done by converting each control character into two bytes
- consisting of a SUB (0x1A) character followed by the printable ASCII
- character formed by adding 0x40 to the ASCII value of the control
- character. Thus, Ctrl-A is transmitted as the two-byte sequence 0x1A,
- 0x41.
-
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon listens for incoming SNPP connections and periodically
- processes the page queue. A child process is created to handle each
- incoming request and each queue run.
-
- After a page is accepted, the child sends SIGUSR1 to its parent forcing
- it to start a queue run immediately without waiting for the time
- specified by -q. If desired, this signal can be suppressed using the
- "synchronous" keyword described above.
-
- The page queue is locked during queue runs to prevent multiple processes
- from competing for modem resources.
-
- The QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee SNPP daemon supports a proprietary XWHO command not
- documented in the official SNPP protocol as described in RFC-1861. XWHO
- takes no arguments and returns a multi-line response of the form:
-
- 214 pager1 text1
- 214 pager2 text2
- 214 pager3 text3
- .
- .
- .
- 214 pagerN textN
- 250
-
- where the first word after the 214 response code is the name of a pager
- or page group, followed by the value of the corresponding text keyword
- (with underscores converted to spaces) from the configuration file.
- Pager and group specifications that do not have the text keyword defined
- in the configuration file will not be included in the XWHO response. The
- purpose of the XWHO command is to allow SNPP clients to present users
- with a list of possible recipients and their names or descriptions. XWHO
- is supported by QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee in an attempt to overcome the current SNPP
- protocol's deficiency. If the protocol is ever revised in the future to
- include this functionality, support for the XWHO command will be dropped
- in favor of whatever facilities are specified at that time. Software
- developers writing their own SNPP clients should be advised that the XWHO
- command is not stable and may be removed from future versions of
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee without notice.

-
- If the CALLerid information received by the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee daemon contains the
- '@' character, it is truncated at that character before being prepended
- to messages. However, it is used as-is for the destination address when
- sending e-mail notification for high-priority recipients.
-
- Due to the protocol limitations of SNPP, QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee derives e-mail
- notification addresses from the CCCCAAAALLLLLLLLeeeerrrriiiidddd information. Since the CCCCAAAALLLLLLLLeeeerrrriiiidddd
- information might be bogus, all e-mail notifications are sent using a
- null reverse path. This will prevent error messages from being generated
- by the mail system if a bogus address is used for e-mail notification.
-
- If the server does not receive a CCCCAAAALLLLLLLLeeeerrrriiiidddd command (sent by the QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee
- client unless -f"" is specified on the command line) notification
- messages will not be sent, regardless of the specified service level.
-
- When the ----mmmm flag is used to send a high-priority page, the status
- notification is sent to the return address in the original e-mail message
- unless overridden by the ----ffff option.
-
- The length of SNPP commands is limited only by the amount of memory
- available to QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee....
-
- QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee uses a timeout of 255 seconds while waiting for a connection
- from the remote modem. This allows the administrator to specify an
- appropriate timeout by setting the modem's S7 register in the dial
- command.
-
- The modem must control the CD (carrier-detect) line. Otherwise, the
- on/off hook status of the modem cannot be determined. This is especially
- important if more than one paging service is used since QQQQuuuuiiiicccckkkkPPPPaaaaggggeeee must be
- able to detect when it's safe to send dial commands to the modem.

- Pages are not queued on the client side. As a result, if no servers are
- available to the client at the time a page is submitted, an error message
- is printed and the page is discarded.
-
- Pages received after a queue run has started will not be processed until
- the following queue run.
-
- The default service requires a phone keyword (just like the rest of the
- service definitions), even if no pager entries specifically reference the
- default service.
