Use bibclean. How to make...
$mkdir ~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3 ~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3/bin \
~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3/man ~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3/man/man1
$cd /tmp
$tar -zxf ~/pkgsrc/bibclean-2.11.3.tar.gz
$cd bibclean-2.11.3/
$./configure
edit config.h to comment out with /* ... */ the line
extern int ioctl ARGS((int, int, ...));
$make
$make prefix=~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3 install
add to .profile
export PATH=~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=~/pkg/bibclean-2.11.3/man:$MANPATH
The bibtex file Leifer.bib is generated as follows
bibextract "author" "Leifer" <~/texery/bibs/bib/jjl.bib >~/public_html/articles/Leifer.bib
using Nelson Beebe's bibextract tool. (Replace nawk with gawk to get bibextract to run.)
Get: pstotext and build with
make pstotext
to get text versions of all the postscript files in the current directory:
find . -name '*ps' -exec pstotext -output {}.txt {} \;
echo $? #to see the last exit code
Dump the text file foo to foo.ps:
enscript -B -p foo.ps foo
Useful options: no headings (-B); 2 up landscape (-2r); 1 inch margins: (--margins=72:72:72:72); Courier in 10 pt (-f Courier10).
How to make:
$cd /tmp $tar -zxf ~/pkgsrc/bib2html-1.33.tar.gz $cd bib2html-1.33 Modify the beginning of the Makefile with BINDIR=/homes/jjl21/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bin BIBTEXDIR=/homes/jjl21/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bst CGIDIR=/homes/jjl21/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bin Change /local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl in bib2html bibsearch gen-bst. Don't do a `make', just do: $mkdir ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33 $mkdir ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bin $mkdir ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bst $mkdir ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/man $mkdir ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/man/man1 $make install $cp bib2html.man ~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/man/man1/bib2html.1 Add to .profile: $export PATH=~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bin:$PATH $export MANPATH=~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/man:$MANPATH $export BSTINPUTS=~/pkg/bib2html-1.33/bst:$BSTINPUTS

Delete all the ,* files:
find . -type f -name ",*" -exec rm {} \;
List files by size and then reverse sort:
find . -printf "%b\t %p\n" | sort -nr
Find files that are `other/group' writable:
find . -not -type l -and \( -perm +020 -or -perm +002 \) find . -not -type l -and +og=w
find . -type f -maxdepth 1 -regex '\./[0-9]+' -printf "%P\n" (-type f: only files -maxdepth 1: only files in the current directory -regex '\./[0-9]+' digits -printf "%P\n" omit leading ./ )
Make them non-writable:
find . -not -type l -and \( -perm +020 -or -perm +002 \) -exec chmod og-w {} \;
find . -not -name "." -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf delete all the files in the pwd find . -not -name "." -print0 | xargs -0 ls -ld see all the files in the pwd
The following doesn't work (see find for a better solution): the problem is that .* files are not updated.
Make all files non-writable by other/group (-c to see which files have changed; -R for recursive):
chmod -c -R og-w *
date -d "Tue, 9 May 2000 11:43:04 +0100 (BST)" +%s #convert the date to seconds since the 1970s epoch date -u #date in utc date -s "Fri Oct 4 10:12:59 UTC 2002" #set the date
formail -x Date <foo #extract the date field from foo
If munpack foo gives the error message
Did not find anything to unpack from foo
try munpack -t foo instead.
There is sometimes a problem with locking over NFS which causes anno to hang for a while before failing. This in turn causes repl to hang since repl tries to add the ``Replied'' header to the original message...
First, I always do an inc on the local mail machine, i.e. I create the script im:
rsh beaune inc mark +inbox -add -sequence unseen mark +inbox -add -zero -sequence n unseen mark +inbox -add -zero -sequence l10 last:10 mark +inbox -add -zero -sequence l20 last:20 mark +inbox -add -zero -sequence l30 last:30
Second, I use local ``dot locking'' for most of the nmh commands. To do this...
cd /tmp tar -zxf nmh-1.0.4.tar.gz cd nmh-1.0.4 ./configure
#define DOT_LOCKING 1 /* #define FCNTL_LOCKING 1 */ /* #define LOCKF_LOCKING 1 */ /* #define FLOCK_LOCKING 1 */ /* * If you have defined DOT_LOCKING, then the default is to * place the lock files in the same directory as the file that * is to be locked. Alternately, if you define LOCKDIR, you * can specify that all lock files go in a specific directory. * Don't define this unless you know you need it. */ #define LOCKDIR "/usr/spool/locks"
make make install mkdir /var/spool/locks chmod og+rwx /var/spool/locks/ chmod og+rx /usr/local/nmh chmod og+rx /usr/local/nmh/* chmod og+rx /usr/local/nmh/man/*
In order to eliminate the Sender: junk in each email (caused by the above mentioned From: trickery), do the following as root: in /usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf make sure that the masquerade line looks like:
masquerade: draft_from
It's possible to uninstall by
rm -rf /usr/local/nmh
export PATH=/usr/local/nmh/bin:$PATH export MANPATH=/usr/local/nmh/man:$MANPATHThe man pages are broken, e.g.: man nmh. It's something to do with /usr/local/nmh/etc/tmac.h but I don't understand it well-enough to fix it.
The locking problems mentioned above bite... I can't use the rpm. Disregard the following.
The nmh binary rpm seems to work fine. But you need to add From: James Leifer <James.Leifer@inria.fr> to ~/Mail/components, replcomps, forwcomps in order to make Bcc give the right address.

List of all message senders in current folder:
scan -format "%{from}" | sort
Remove all messages from Foo
rmm `pick -list -from Foo`
Refile all messages from Foo to folder Bar
refile +Bar `pick -list -from Foo`
Danger: the -list is essential: without it, pick will fail if no messages match, causing the outer command to assume one is operating on all messages. This is bad design!
Refile my mailing lists (who needs procmail! [grin]):
SOURCE_FOLDER=inbox
for LIST_SUBJECT in 'Caml-list' 'unison-users'; do
echo ========================== $LIST_SUBJECT
echo pick +$SOURCE_FOLDER last:400 -lbrace -subject $LIST_SUBJECT -and --Precedence bulk -rbrace -list
MESSAGES=`pick +$SOURCE_FOLDER last:400 -lbrace -subject $LIST_SUBJECT -and --Precedence bulk -rbrace -list`
scan +$SOURCE_FOLDER $MESSAGES
echo refile -src +$SOURCE_FOLDER +$LIST_SUBJECT $MESSAGES
refile -src +$SOURCE_FOLDER +$LIST_SUBJECT $MESSAGES
done
Sort the messages in folder f by date:
sortm +f -verbose
The following works... Note that Aliasfile needs the ~ but the Path cannot have it!

Unpack:

and add the following to .profile:

Gleaned from this part of the manual. Insert
#image/jpeg ;name="jjleifer.jpg" [] /home/beaune/moscova1/leifer/public_html/jjleifer.jpg

Convert latin1 to tex. (-d: only touch accents). Note: it's important to have an output file or else recode will rewrite the original file
recode -d l1..tex <foo-in >foo-out

s/\b 0\.0 \s+ 0\.0 \s+ 0\.92 \s+ TeXcolorrgb \b /0\.0 0\.0 0\.0 TeXcolorrgb /gsx;
then perl -p -0777 removecolour <foo >bar performs the replacement. For a one-liner, do instead
perl -p -0777 -e 's/.../.../...;' <foo >bar

This is highly unscientific, but it seemed to work (at INRIA, circa 2002). Go control panel / printers / add printer. Choose local printer. Choose IP connection.
