We use a shell script and UUCP to do an automated ascii upload to a publishing system that is pretty void of any knowledge of communications with the outside world. At any rate, we have a /bin/sh script that basically does: cu sysname <FILE Where FILE is of the form: ~!/bin/slp10 #wait 10 seconds piles of data to be uploaded ~!/bin/slp10 #wait another 10 seconds ~. #Hangup the telephone. This has been somewhat reliable, but only allows for one file per call. Given that there is a modem shortage on the remote end, this is unacceptable. So, does anyone have any ideas on how to do something like: ~!for a in `ls files` ... etc. ?? We're running on Xenix 2.3.3 if that makes a difference, using a TB+ over a 19200 serial line. -- Sean Fulton sean@utoday.com UNIX Today!
