If we want to move to it, I've got Xastir lists already established on 
it... in anticipation.

The TAMU system for mailing lists isn't technically Gerry's. The University
hosts a LISTSERV server that apparently is open to anyone. I recall years
ago there was a specific policy about who was allowed to have a list on it,
but I can't see that anywhere except one place that says the primary list
owner's email should be linked to the official university email account
(which is no problem for Gerry.)

http://listserv.tamu.edu/

This LISTSERV hosts thousands of lists and would not go down for any length
of time without immediate action.

If we move it to a server that's also used for lots of other lists, it
is more like to get problems noticed/resolved in a more timely manner. 
My own server is down for no more than a few minutes a year (because it

is considered critical), and I'd guess it is the least available of the
three I mentioned.

 That returns the xterminal for my use, but is annoying to get my

 running.  I know somebody here knows how to take care of this.

(xastir 21) /dev/null
or
(xastir 21)  filename.txt

Those are BASH or BOURNE redirects for STDERR to STDOUT, then of
course piping STDOUT to a file or to NULL.  Run the first in a
subshell () and you should get everything redirected to STDOUT.

 xastir /dev/null 21 

 which means redirect file descriptor 1 to the file specified, then
 redirect file descriptor 2 to the same place.

You can also do this:

(xastir 21) | tee xastir_error.log

Which will pipe STDERR and STDOUT to the screen and to a file.

Yea, it's actually keyed to population, but the latest GNIS files

switching points are hard-coded in Xastir.

 It looks like Imagemagick has dropped support by default of the xpm convert

You may have to compile IM from scratch and add the format back in.


 Is there also a chance to save directly into a web server folder ?

 Like /srv/www/htdocs/xastir.jpg ??

When I need that sort of thing I just Xastir save the snapshot in
it's normal place, then make a symlink to it from the htdocs
directory.  Then the web server can find it.  You may also have to
change a setting in your web server and restart it so that it can
follow symlinks.

Check that you have a passcode entered on the particular interface

proper direction(s) on that same dialog PLUS check the same sorts of

2007-08-24 Thread Greg Eigsti

How do I use Findu to see if I am IGating?



The tool mentioned by VE7MKF is a better iGate 'test' than Findu.   
However if you know you are iGating someone (or think you are) you  
can look them up in findu and see their raw data.  Just change the  
callsign to the one that you are interested in...  Looking at Findu's  
raw data is a good way to force yourself to learn how to read raw  
APRS packets ;)


Raw data for my truck
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=KD7UBJ-7

Visual data (map) for my truck
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=kd7ubj-7


I'm also thinking that Findu is tweaked or at least the data is stale  
right now.  I went out and blasted a packet from my truck to my iGate  
and Findu does not report it either via its raw or map page.  However  
if I look at the www.db0anf.de page for my iGate I can see that it  
saw my iGate gating my truck very recently.   Hmmm, anybody have any  
idea why Findu is stale (or why my brain is on vacation)? ;)
