0aa1c878 | 1 | .TH MAILMAINT 1 "28 Jan 1988" "Project Athena" |
2 | \" RCSID: $Header$ | |
3 | .SH NAME | |
4 | mailmaint \- maintain mailing lists for a user | |
5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
6 | .B mailmaint | |
7 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
9ed9ebb0 | 8 | .I maintmaint |
9 | allows a user to examine public mailing lists and add or | |
b865dabe | 10 | remove him/herself from such lists. It does this using Moira, the Athena |
9b00693b | 11 | Service Management System. |
0aa1c878 | 12 | .PP |
13 | When started, it will display a menu with the following options: | |
14 | .in +5 | |
15 | .nf | |
16 | 1. Show all mailing lists. | |
17 | 2. Get all members of a mailing list. | |
18 | 3. Display lists of which you are a member. | |
19 | 4. Show description of list. | |
20 | 5. Add yourself to a mailing list. | |
21 | 6. Delete yourself from a mailing list. | |
22 | .in -5 | |
23 | .fi | |
24 | .PP | |
9b00693b | 25 | The first option will display all mailing lists that are not |
0aa1c878 | 26 | explicitly hidden. The second option will display the members of a |
27 | named list. The third will display the names of the lists you belong | |
28 | to. The next option will give a description of any list that you | |
29 | name. | |
30 | .PP | |
31 | The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from | |
32 | public mailing lists. If the person creating a mailing list has not | |
33 | made it public, you will not be allowed to change it. Even if it is | |
34 | public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the | |
35 | others on the list. For other list operations (which are only allowed | |
36 | to the administrators of a list), see | |
37 | .I listmaint(1). | |
38 | .SH MENU OPERATION | |
39 | Each of the menus presented works in the same way: A list of possible | |
40 | choices is presented, each preceded by a number. The title of the | |
41 | function is displayed at the top of the screen, centered, and the | |
42 | current choice is highlighted. To make a choice, press the number of | |
43 | the choice, which will then be highlighted. To confirm this | |
44 | choice, press the return key. | |
45 | .PP | |
46 | There will usually be a | |
47 | .I Quit | |
48 | option and a | |
49 | .I Return to previous level | |
50 | option available in each menu. The exception to this is during mailing | |
51 | list creation; a type for the list must be selected from a menu. | |
52 | Typing the interrupt character (normally CTRL-C) or the return key | |
53 | during a database access or while being prompted for a menu | |
54 | selection will act the same as a | |
55 | .I Quit. | |
56 | Typing the interrupt character | |
57 | during a text input will cancel the operation and return to | |
58 | the most recent menu. | |
59 | .PP | |
60 | If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a | |
61 | description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be | |
62 | prompted for such information. | |
63 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
64 | .TP | |
65 | KRBTKFILE | |
b865dabe | 66 | path name of your Kerberos ticket. Moira decides who you are and what you |
0aa1c878 | 67 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. |
