<H3>Description.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<strong>mbdiff</strong> applies a (compressed) nodediff file against the
|
|
nodelist of the week before to create a new nodelist. The result is a new
|
|
plain nodelist and a nodelist compressed with zip.
|
|
<P> <P>

|
|
<H3>Environmet.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
In order to run <strong>mbdiff</strong> you must set the global variable
|
|
<strong>$MBSE_ROOT</strong>. This variable must point to the root directory
|
|
of the bbs structure. The main configuration file <strong>config.data</strong>
|
|
must be present in the ~/etc directory.
|
|
<P> <P>

|
|
|
<H3>Commands.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<code><strong>mbdiff</strong> [nodelist] [nodediff]</code> The nodelist must be the full
|
|
path and filename without the dot and daynumber extension. The nodediff is
|
|
the full path and filename to the (compressed) nodediff file fitting on the
|
|
latest nodelist. It is adviced to make a seperate working directory where
|
|
you keep the nodelists. Don't do this in your normal nodelist directory.
|
|
When the operation is successfull, the new nodelist is in the working directory
|
|
and the old list is removed. A compressed version of the nodelist is also
|
|
placed in the working directory. From here you can hatch the new compressed
|
|
nodelist with the <strong>mbfido</strong> program.

<strong>mbdiff</strong> runs on the background.
