I got some of the missing linux kernel archives, but they are in mbox format. I know I can use formail to split them out, but last time I did that from a "remote machine" formail "killed" the box, too many open AF_UNIX connection. (Aside, people who said they would send me their old posts, please still do it, I'll remove duplicates via Message-IDs). Think I was smart, I moved archives to the listserv, so I could inject the old message locally, but that gave me VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached. Since the was the tclug mbox and it was small compared to the linux-kernel mbox I'm sure I'll run into these problems again. Anyway to make formail wait like 5s between sends? This is what I tried last time: cat f1 | formail -d -n 1 -s /usr/lib/sendmail linux-kernel at lists.real-time.com Any help would be appreciated. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
