Q. I'm using threader. How do I generate a list of tdb files for use with the program ?
A. This should be handled by someone who is adminstering the threader distibution. Talk to Kim Gernert or Steve Pittard to get the password associated with the threader account.
Log to one of the MM SGIs using the id "threader"
% pwd
% /snowwhite/disk2/people/threader
% ls -1 tdb | awk -F. '{print $1}' > mytempl.lst
Please pay close attention to the syntax when typing this command.
What this command does is to list all of the contents of the tdb
directory in a single column and chops off the ".tdb." extension
associated with each file name. The result is that you have have
a file called "mytempl.lst" which has a list of tdb names listed
one per line which is what the threader program requires.
