|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
.B flexd.conf
|
|
|
|
|
file is read by flexd at program startup and is used to modify the
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour of the robot.
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
The lines within
|
|
|
|
|
.B flexd.conf
|
|
|
|
|
must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the first column, or
|
|
|
|
|
one of the commands listed below. Commands and arguments are delimited
|
|
|
|
|
by white space. Arguments can contain white space if they are enclosed
|
|
|
|
|
in double quotes. Also C-style escapes (\\n, \\x0A, \\012 etc.) are parsed
|
|
|
|
|
within double quotes.
|
|
|
|
|
.sp

Available configuration commands are:
|
|
|
|
|
.TP 14
|
|
|
|
|
.B MyCall <xx#xx>
|
|
|
|
|
Sets up the callsign AND ssid you wish to use to connect to your flexnet
|
|
|
|
|
neighbor for destinations import. Do NOT use an ssid of your ax25 interface
|
|
|
|
|
which you'll be polling from as you may create a loop between your system
|
|
|
|
|
and the flexnet neighbor.
|
|
|
|
|
An example: MyCall kb1uuu-13
|
|
|
|
|
.TP 14
|
|
|
|
|
.B PollInterval <time/secs>
|
|
|
|
|
This string tells the robot how many times in SECONDS to poll your flexnet
|
|
|
|
|
neighbor and import their destination table. In my production environment
|
|
|
|
|
300 (or 5 minutes) seemed to be fine. I would NOT go below 180 (3 minutes)
|
|
|
|
|
as you may create more traffic than needed.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP 14
|
|
|
|
|
.B FlexGate <xx#xx-##>
|
|
|
|
|
This is the callsign of your flexnet neighbor. The robot will read this
|
|
|
|
|
callsign-ssid and attempt a connect to it every ## minutes assigned in
|
|
|
|
|
PollInterval <time/mins>. Be sure you do NOT configure it to connect to
|
|
|
|
|
a service linked within the flexnet neighbor such as a BBS! You will NOT
|
|
|
|
|
receive any destinations to your system that way and the BBS will think
|
|
|
|
|
you're attempting a feed.

|
|
|
Also note: your FlexNet destination host *must* reside in your uronode.route
|
|
|
|
|
file or else flexd will *not* know the path where to connect and the robot
|
|
|
|
|
will exit.
