Hej Gunnar,

When you boot puppy from a CD or  USB stick, and you have made a save file,
you just edit the file  ~/.pskmail/pskmailrc.pl
Puppy will make sure that everything you do is saved in the save file 
automatically.
Next time you boot it will all be there again. So you don't have to do anything 
special, just edit the pskmailrc.pl file.

I will send you the config file for PI4TUE, which has been running now for 5 
years...
That will give you a working example.

Hi John,
 
I got all of that! 
New question: When booting from a cd with puppy and having a  stick to save on 
should I edit the pskmailrc.pl on the stick? Does pskmail  read the setting 
from there? The answer, as I understand, will be:  yes!?
In that file I have to edit a lot of different  parameters?
$Beaconminute = 3; ?
$commandcall = "PA0R"; ?
$relay = "smtp.gmail.com"; ?
$smtpauthlevel = 2; ?
$smtptlsuser = "userid\@gmail.com"; ?
$smtptlspass = "gmailpassword"; ?
$smtptlsport = 587; ?
$monitor = 1; ?
$Aprs_connect = 1; ?
$latitude = "0000.00N";?
$longitude = "00000.00E"; ?
$serverstatus = "PSKmail 1.0.28  server "; ?
$Aprs_beacon = "0000.00NP00000.00E&PSKmail 1.0.28  server ";  ?
@Aprs_port = qw (1314 1314 1314); ?
@Aprs_address = qw (netherlands.aprs2.net germany.aprs2.net  italys.aprs2.net); 
?
 
Maybe  most of these are stupid questions but by not asking you (I) newer  
learn;-)

Hi Gunnar,

Just to make sure I cover all aspects:

1. There are two "beacon" features in the server: A) the radio beacon to  alert 
other servers and clients of the presence of the server and B) Internet  
beacons over the APRS network to post the position and the presence of  your 
server on the internet. These internet beacons are called POSIT  beacons.

2. For the radio beacons the variable to adjust inthe [pskmailrc.pl] files are 
the  followings: 


2.1 The $period variable defines the time in minutes between beacons.    
Default is 60 so beacons every hour.  

2.2 The @Beaconarray variable contains a sequence of 5 values ( "0"    or "1"). 
Each value represents a minute (since we scan over a 5 minute period)    and 
tells the server to send or not a beacon for that minute, with the first    
value representing the behaviour for minute zero, the next one for    minute 
one, and so on. This is useful for scanning servers or for "spreading"    the 
radio beacons around to avoid servers sending beacons over each    other.


So for example if you have the following values:

$period=20;
@Beaconarray = qw (1 1 0 0 1);

then the server will send a beacon on the following minutes of each hour:      
0,1,4 then 20, 21, 24 then 40, 41, 44.


3. For the POSIT beacons over the internet the  variable $posit_time defines 
the intervals in minutes between beacons. The  default is 10.


Make sure you leave the ";" after the value for each line too.

You also have to stop and restart the server when you make a change in the  
[pskmailrc.pl] file as it is read once at the  start of the server.

You have made good progress.

Sorry if this is too detailed.

All the best,

73, John

Hej    alla,
 
When    configuring jPSKmail server can I get some help with the [pskmailrc.pl].
APRS only    needs to be sent once every hour or half hour. I changed settings 
to 30 but no    change in sending (every 10 minutes)
There is    probably a lot of other changes that is not correct but the problem 
is that I    know nothing of Pearl!?
Still    struggling but getting closer, 500Hz FL-100 coming on    Thursday!!!!
