[9fans] [patch] sorry: vncconnect

d-rwxrwxr-x M 72338 rsc sys 0 Sep  7 16:56 /n/sources/patch/sorry/vncconnect

A hack to implement vncconnect (http://www.tightvnc.com/doc/man/vncconnect.1.html)

NOTES:
Wed Sep 7 10:34:59 EDT 2005 rsc
    This might be a generically useful utility.
    It has nothing to do with vnc.  

Wed Sep 7 10:55:15 EDT 2005 rsc
    I added a -a option to trampoline instead.  Use that.

[9fans] patch auto-mails

[Russ Cox]

I'm sorry about this.  I thought Uriel had turned these off.

Instead of these, I have been updating a mail box
/n/sources/extra/changes.mbox that lists daily changes 
and works from the replica logs so it gets everything.
If you're interested, you can write your own script to
download the mailbox and send new messages to yourself.

Until Uriel turns off the patch auto-mails, I have made 
/n/sources/patch/^(applied saved sorry) all mode 0770
so that his script won't have any work to do.

I actually didn't mind these emails.  It was neat to see what was
going on there :).

Could we maybe get a different mail list for that?  I think seeing the
activity would be useful :)

A different mailing list that you had to subscribe to would be perfect: you 
could see what's going on, if and only if you wanted to (which I don't =). 
Mail archive & digest would be perfect as well...

The subject of this essay (the Myth of Sisyphus) is precisely
this relationship between the absurd and suicide, the exact
degree to which suicide is a solution to the absurd. The 
principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat,
what he believes to be true must determine his action.
Belief in the absurdity of existence must then dictate his
conduct. It is legitimate to wonder, clearly and without
false pathos, whether a conclusion of this importance
requires forsaking as rapidly possiblean imcompre-
hensible condition. I am speaking, of course, of men
inclined to be in harmony with themselves.

If you are jonesing for automatically-generated chatter,
you can try running this via cron:

% cat /cron/$user/cron
X * * * * yoursys sourcesmail
% 
(where X is your favorite random number between 0 and 59)

% cat $home/bin/rc/sourcesmail
#!/bin/rc

d=`{date -n}
sleep 1
if(! test -f $home/lib/sourcesmailtime)
	touch $home/lib/sourcesmailtime

9fs sources
newer=`{
	ls -rt /n/sources/extra/changes/*/* $home/lib/sourcesmailtime |
	sed -n '/sourcesmailtime/,$p' | grep -v sourcesmailtime
}
if(~ $#newer 0)
	exit 0
for(i in $newer)
	mail -s $i `{cat /dev/user} <$i
touch -t $d $home/lib/sourcesmailtime
%

Jonesing isn't quite the word I'd use however I think I like this idea
just fine too...

I agree, as long as the list isn't flooded with these, it's ok -
and a nice way to follow the changes.
