10 The file @(MHETCPATH)/mtstailor defines run-time options for those \fIMH\fR

11 programs which interact (in some form) with the message transport system.
|
|
|
12 At present, these (user) programs are:
|

|
13 \fIap\fR, \fIconflict\fR, \fIinc\fR, \fImsgchk\fR,
|
|
|
14 \fImsh\fR, \fIpost\fR, \fIrcvdist\fR, and \fIrcvpack\fR.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 Each option should be given on a single line. Blank lines
|
|
|
17 and lines which begin with `#' are ignored.
|
|
|
18 The options available along with default values and a description of their

26 If not set, depending on the version of UNIX you're running,
|

27 \fIMH\fR will query the system for this value
|
|

28 (e.g., <whoami.h>, gethostname, etc.).
|

|
|
|
377 A few words on locking:
|
|
|
378 \fIMH\fR has a flexible locking system for making locks on files.
|
|
|
379 There are two \fBmtstailor\fR variables you should be aware of
|
|
|
380 \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq and \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
|
|
|
381 The first controls the method of locking,
|
|
|
382 the second says where lock files should be created.
|
|
|
383
|
|
|
384 The \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq variable can take on three values: 0, 1, 2.
|
|
|
385 A value of 0 is useful on systems with kernel-level locking.
|
|
|
386 If you are on a \fBBSD42\fP system, \fIMH\fP assumes
|
|
|
387 you have the \fIflock\fR system call.
|
|
|
388 On other systems:
|
|
|
389 define \fBFLOCK\fP if you want to use the \fIflock\fP system call;
|
|
|
390 define \fBLOCKF\fP if you want to use the \fIlockf\fP system call;
|
|
|
391 or define \fBFCNTL\fP if you want to use the \fIfcntl\fP system call
|
|
|
392 for kernel-level locking.
|
|
|
393 If you haven't configured \fIMH\fP to use kernel-level locking,
|
|
|
394 a locking style of 0 is considered the same as locking style 1.
|
|
|
395
|
|
|
396 A value of 1 or 2 specifies that a file should be created whose existence
|
|
|
397 means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and whose non-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq.
|
|
|
398 A value of 1 says to construct the lockname by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to
|
|
|
399 the name of the file being locked.
|
|
|
400 A value of 2 says to construct the lockname by looking at the device and
|
|
|
401 inode numbers of the file being locked.
|
|
|
402 If the \*(lqlockldir\*(rq variable is not specified,
|
|
|
403 lock files will be created in the directory where the file being locked
|
|
|
404 resides.
|
|
|
405 Otherwise, lock files will be created in the directory specified by
|
|
|
406 \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
|
|
|
407 Prior to installing \fIMH\fR,
|
|
|
408 you should see how locking is done at your site,
|
|
|
409 and set the appropriate values.
