NFPIPE(1) General Commands Manual NFPIPE(1)NAME
nfpipe - Insert articles into a notesfile
SYNOPSIS
nfpipe topic [ -t title ] [ -d ] [ -a ]
DESCRIPTION
Nfpipe reads standard input to create a note in the specified notesfile. The title of the note is specified using the -t parameter. The
-d flag specifies that this note is to have the director message flag set; if the author has no director privileges in the notesfile, this
flag has no effect. Specifying -a makes the note anonymous; if anonymous notes are not permitted this flag has no effect.
FILES
/etc/passwd for the users name
/etc/group for the users group
/usr/spool/notes the default notesfile data base
/usr/spool/notes/.utilities utility programs and online help the permission list for the notesfile `topic'

NFDUMP(8) System Manager's Manual NFDUMP(8)NAME
nfdump, nfload - notesfile dump/load programs
SYNOPSIS
nfdump notesfile
nfload [ -Ddirectory ] notesfile
DESCRIPTION
Nfdump and nfload are used to convert notesfile data base formats.
Nfdump converts the specified notesfile to a portable ASCII format and writes it to standard output. Some diagnostics are produced on
stderr. Nfdump can be run by any user; access to a particular notesfile is governed by that notesfile's access list.
Nfload is used on the output from nfdump to create a new notesfile. The -D option specifies an alternate base directory for the notesfile.
If unspecified, this defaults to ``/usr/spool/notes''. Nfload reads standard input for the ASCII representation of the notesfile.
Typical use of these two programs occurs when converting an existing notesfile data base to a new format. The nfdump program should be
compiled with the older structure definitions while nfload is compiled with the newer structures. The data base can then be converted with
a shell script of the following nature:
mkdir .OLD
mv * .OLD
for i in `ls .OLD`
do
echo $i start
nfdump $i | nfload -D/usr/spool/newnotes $i
done
echo $i done
echo ALL DONE
rm -rf .OLD
This assumes that the old data base is in ``/usr/spool/notes'' and the new data base is to be placed in ``/usr/spool/newnotes''. After the
conversion is complete, one can move the old data base from ``/usr/spool/notes'' to ``/usr/spool/oldformat'' and the new data base from
``/usr/spool/newnotes'' to ``/usr/spool/notes''.

Hey guys, first of all I'd like to say Hi to everyone. I am new here and this is my first post.
I have a question about some C stuff. I am in Computer Science and I have an assignment for a UNIX Applications course. It is really complicated, however.

I'm trying to find or create a Perl script that:
Checks for and creates these files:

The first represents the current log file and the others are older versions. Each time the script runs it would check for the existence of notes.3 and, if it exists,... (3 Replies)
Hi all,
the DIRDB on DB2 used by system director was dropped.
It's possible to reinstall only the container DIRDB, instead of reinstall all system director software?
P.S.

From what I have read . is for current director and the / represents directory.
So I have a file hello.c in order to run that file I have to type
./hello which is a compiled C program. If I put a space after the ./ I recieve ./ is a directory.
However if I use the cp command
