+ 9.33. directory (extended for sysops) (5)
+
+ Works just like the user command except that sysops can see ALL
+ messages.
+
+
+ 9.34. disconnect (8)
+
+ disconnect <call> [<call> ...] Disconnect a user or node
+
+
+ Disconnect any <call> connected locally
+
+
+ 9.35. dx (0)
+
+ dx [by <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks> Send a DX spot
+
+
+ This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now
+ enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.
+
+
+
+ DX FR0G 144.600
+ DX 144.600 FR0G
+ DX 144600 FR0G
+
+
+
+
+ will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the end of
+ the command and they will be added to the spot.
+
+
+
+ DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
+
+
+
+
+ You can credit someone else by saying:-
+
+
+
+ DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
+
+
+
+
+ The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the
+ cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.
+
+
+ 9.36. export (9)
+
+ export <msgno> <filename> Export a message to a file
+
+ Export a message to a file. This command can only be executed on a
+ local console with a fully privileged user. The file produced will be
+ in a form ready to be imported back into the cluster by placing it in
+ the import directory (/spider/msg/import).
+
+ This command cannot overwrite an existing file. This is to provide
+ some measure of security. Any files written will owned by the same
+ user as the main cluster, otherwise you can put the new files anywhere
+ the cluster can access. For example:-
+
+ EXPORT 2345 /tmp/a
+
+
+ 9.37. export_users (9)
+
+ export_users [<filename>] Export the users database to ascii
+
+
+ Export the users database to a file in ascii format. If no filename is
+ given then it will export the file to /spider/data/user_asc.
+
+ If the file already exists it will be renamed to <filename>.o. In fact
+ up to 5 generations of the file can be kept each one with an extra 'o'
+ on the suffix.
+
+ BE WARNED: this will write to any file you have write access to. No
+ check is made on the filename (if any) that you specify.
