• JAM msg base sorting

    From Stas Mishchenkov@2:460/5858 to All on Wed Aug 23 19:53:06 2023
    Hi All!

    https://brorabbit.g0x.ru/files/perl/maintjam.pl
    This program sorts by the date messages was written in the JAM messagebase. It can also clean up messages marked as deleted and in accordance with -p and -m options in area configuration. Please test it.

    Have a nice night.

    How well does it handle things when the area's are in the main config file?

    Areas can be in any file. The main thing is to point the way to it. Directive "Include", it does not yet understand.

    Hm. Describe the situation in more detail. What options are you running with? Does it write something on the screen? What's in the log file?

    Now it is running. I think it just tried to phone home first!

    I'll do some more testing later.

    Seems to work as it should. However, it does renumber the messagebase, so it is useless with jamnntpd. :(

    There are programs which can pack and purge without renumbering. Fastecho and GEcho for example.

    Hi Stas,

    On Thursday August 24 2023, Stas Mishchenkov said to Stephen Walsh:

    This program sorts by the date messages was written in the JAM
    messagebase. It can also clean up messages marked as deleted and in

    How well does it handle things when the area's are in the main config
    file?

    Areas can be in any file. The main thing is to point the way to it.

    I've now been able to run it. It just took a while... One thing I did
    notice is that when specifying an area it will find any area's with
    those same words in it...

    Command lime:

    ./maintjam.pl -a config -p doom

    Area's it packed/sorted:
    doom
    alt.games.doom
    this.is.doom.life

    Yes. That's how it was intended. Apparently, I need to change it to a more familiar explicit indication of wildcards.

    Lemme guess, you are having a hard time with *smapinntpd* after purging your JAM bases? This guy (smapinntpd ) operates with the 'unique message ID' which is supposed to survive the database purging.

    I raised this question in a Russian speaking echo conferences *ru.ftn.develop* and *ru.fidonet.today* about two weeks ago. We had a very interesting discussion with a few folks after which I realized that people think that the BaseMsgNum field in the JAM header should stay 1 all the time.

    I don't know about this, but I don't really use it 'in production'.

    It sorts only unread messages.

    I think this is the way it has to work, at least if the msgbase is used in a bbs with many users.

    Actually I'm not having a hard time. I found this renumbering thing out long long time ago when I first stared using jamnntpd in my GEcho operated system.

    Now in my linux husky system I simply don't purge/pack at all.

    Right. :)

    In this msg area the first message has a number of 105. :)

    Hm... Sort them before they get numbers?

    I'm still missing the good old OS/2 tool pktsort/2 of 1993.

    It was not a 100% solution because of some people used Crosspoints annonymous time mode that set 00:00 daytime stamps and it failed with long transit time. But at least it was the most universal tool because it was not restriced to a specific msgbase format and was still very useful for daily usage to get the 400 new mails per echo in sequence.

    Shivering... It's 30 years since...
