/* * Program postnews * Programmer N.d'Alterio * Date 06/07/95 * * Synopsis: This program spools an news article ready for posting at * some later time. If currently online then sendnews is * called and the article will be sent off immediately. * The online check is done by trying to open TCP: daytime * port. * * This is a heavily modified version of postnews by * James Burton from his postnewsspoll package. This fixes * a number of bugs such as the leaving of locks, hanging * for a long time while waiting to see if it is online. * In addition the program has been very much streamlined * there are no longer the command line options -X, -R as * these seemd to have no use. Also gone are the arg### and * ref### files it produced which seemed to be useless. * * For tin users the program has the command line option * -from the add a From: user@somewhere to the header. * * This program has the paths for my setup compiled into * it as defaults to use different paths and files there * are the 2 env variables PNS_SEQ which is the full filename * for the seq file and PNS_SPOOLDIR which is the full directory * name for the spool dir. * * The program expects to have the companion program sendnews * in AmiTCP:bin/sendnews which in turn needs to have the * NNTP posting program as AmiTCP:bin/NNTPPost. * * Command Line Arguments: -from Adds a From: someone@ line to header * -h Prints some help info * filename The article file to post * if omitted will take from STDIN * * Inputs: article Should contain a full header * * Outputs: spooldir/msg### The spooled message * spooldir/Seq The number of articles * * Variables: int i general loop var * int seq number of spooled messages * int DoStdin flag * BPTR lock lock on spooldir * char *Buffer string to build filenames * FILE *msgfile file to contain spooled article * * Functions: copyfile copies article to spooldir * getseq reads seq file * * $VER: postnews.c 2.1 (07.08.95) $ * $Log: postnews.c $ * Revision 2.1 1995/08/27 21:49:10 daltern * Added env vars for path options * fixed a bug where a file was left open * * Revision 1.1 1995/08/07 14:17:55 daltern * Initial revision * * */ #include #include #include #include #include #define SPOOLDIR "AmiTCP:Usr/Spool/News" #define SEQFILE "AmiTCP:Usr/Spool/News/Seq" int getseq( char * ); void copyfile( char *, FILE * ); extern char *version = "$VER: postnews 2.1 (07.08.95) Nick d'Alterio"; int main( int argc,char **argv ) { FILE *msgfile; int i; int seq; int DoStdin = TRUE; char *seqfile; char *spooldir; char Buffer[100]; unsigned long lock; FILE *fptr; /* * Read spool dir from env variable. */ if ( ( spooldir = getenv( "PNS_SPOOLDIR" ) ) == NULL ) { spooldir = SPOOLDIR; } /* end if */ /* * Read seqfile name from env variable. */ if ( ( seqfile = getenv( "PNS_SEQ" ) ) == NULL ) { seqfile = SEQFILE; } /* end if */ /* * Lock directory while using. */ lock = Lock( spooldir, ACCESS_WRITE ); if (lock == NULL) { fprintf( stderr, " Could not lock spool directory\n" ); exit(20); } /* end if */ /* * Get current number of spooled messages. */ seq = getseq( seqfile ); if (seq < 0) { fprintf( stderr, " Could not reserve sequence number : '%s'\n",seqfile ); UnLock( lock ); exit(20); } /* end if */ /* * Open file to spool articles to. */ sprintf( Buffer, "%s/msg%03d", spooldir, seq ); msgfile = fopen( Buffer, "w" ); if ( msgfile == NULL ) { fprintf( stderr, " Could not open msg file '%s'\n", Buffer ); UnLock(lock); exit(20); } /* end if */ /* * Parse command line. */ i = 0; while ( i < argc ) { i++; if ( argv[i][0] == '-' ) { switch ( argv[i][1] ) { case 'f' : if ( strcmp( argv[i], "-from" ) == 0 ) { fprintf( msgfile, "From: %s\n", argv[i+1] ); } /* end if */ i++; break; case 'h' : fprintf( stderr, " Usage: postnews [-from me@somewhere] article_filename\n" ); fprintf( stderr, "\n Article is taken from stdin if no filename is given\n" ); break; default : fprintf( stderr, " Unknown option use -h for help\n" ); break; } /* end switch */ } else { /* * Move article file to spool file. */ if ( argv[i] != NULL && argv[i][0] != '\0' ) { copyfile( argv[i], msgfile ); DoStdin = FALSE; } /* end if */ } /* end if */ } /* end while */ /* * Move article from stdin to spool file. */ if ( DoStdin == TRUE ) { int ch; while ( ( ch = getchar() ) != EOF ) fputc( ch, msgfile ); } /* end if */ fclose( msgfile ); UnLock( lock ); /* * Check if online.
