nfarchive

NFARCHIVE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      NFARCHIVE(8)

NAME

       nfarchive - archive notesfiles

SYNOPSIS

       nfarchive [ -# ] [ -d ] [ -m- or -m+ ] [ -w# ] [ -f file ] topic [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nfarchive is used to expire notes that have not been modified in a certain amount of time.  Archives are stored in ``archive notesfiles''.

       The -# parameter is the number of days a notestring must be idle (no new responses) before being eligible for archival.

       Expired	notestrings are either deleted or placed in an archive.  The -d parameter tells nfarchive to delete expired notestrings.  If unse-
       lected, the expired notestrings are placed in an archive.

       The -m+ option specifies that only notes marked with a director message are eligible for expiration.  -m- specifies that only notes without
       a director message are eligible for expiration.	By default, the expiration algorithm is indifferent to a note's director message status.

       The  -w#  option specified the working set size for the expired notesfiles.  The specified number represents the minimum number of notes to
       leave in the notesfile.

       The expiration threshold, working set size, expiration action, and director message requirements can  all  be  specified  as  a	director's
       option  in  each notesfile.  Specific values override what is specified on the nfarchive command line.  A default value specifies using the
       value specified on the command line.

       The -f parameter specifies a file containing a list of notesfiles to archive.  Notesfiles can also be specified on the command line.

       By  default,   the   archive   of   notesfile   /usr/spool/notes/somenotes   is	 in   /usr/spool/oldnotes/somenotes.	The   archive	of
       /some/other/place/somenotes  also  defaults to /usr/spool/oldnotes/somenotes.  To prevent collisions of this nature, mapping between active
       and archive notesfiles is implemented.  The file /usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.alias/Archive-into contains lines of the form:

	    active-notesfile:archive notesfile

       Lines in this file beginning with `#' are comments.  Notesfiles without an entry in this file are  archived  into  the  /usr/spool/oldnotes
       directory with the appropriate last component.

       When  initially created, an archive notesfile has an access list matching its active counterpart.  Currently, only directors are allowed to
       write in an archive notesfile.  Nfarchive refuses to archive an archive notesfile.

FILES

       /usr/spool/notes/.utilities		    where this programs lives.
       /usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.alias/Archive-into
						    maps active notesfiles into their archives.
       /usr/spool/notes 			    Default notes data base
       /usr/spool/oldnotes			    Default archive directory
