Johnny,

How much effort would be involved for your procedures to send email to a
distribution list announcing a change to the network database?   I could
hook that at my end to the running of NetUpdateV2.COM which already
makes use of the file NODENAMES.DAT, that the current procedure
produces.   The subject would have to be unique so that the parser could
deal with it.   A mail message that looked something like this:


To: @netupdate.dis
Subject: NETUPDATE


Content would be ignored.   To subscribe all anyone would have to do
would be to submit a HECnet email address to you.   I will volunteer one
right now to test with - SGC::SYSTEM.

Hmm.. Eventually that would be easy, but the one snag right now is that I still do not have a resolver library for RSX finished. Once I've done this, I can do any such automation quite easily.

It might be that I could set it up using a DECnet-SMTP gateway right now. I just need to check this out a little. Let me come back to you in a day or so. Right now I'm trying to understand how network booting PDP-11s work...

Regards,

Hey Johnny,

Update the extended data for MOYA please.   She is a MicroVAX II
(KA630) with 13M RAM in a BA123.

Updated the CPU, thanks. Care to tell what OS?
