Robert, I will answer your questions... If I have any parts incorrect or needs to be clarified, please correct. First question is yes, its a link request to a server. Second is that those are coming over the "net". If I understand right, all connections with PSKMail are designed for some "routing" capability that exists/or is being planned. Third, it may be different, but the way that I upgrade is simply extracting the version and running the install.sh located at "pskmail-server-1.0.48 (which version is extracted)/scripts". It copies all of the binaries over and "upgrades" it. I think it retains nearly all the files (some of it is removed as far as I understand). freqs.txt is removed but the config file "pskmailrc.pl" remains.. Lastly, look for your pskmailrc.pl file and find the line that states "Period". Yours is probably set for "60". Change it to 10. This may be a matter of opinion, but set the "beacon array" also for option as {1 0 0 0 0 }. The way you have it set your beacon will go off at every 10 minutes and then off every consecutive minute afterwards and repeats. 73 Josh, AB9FT ________________________________ From: Robert Krasowski <rkrasowski@xxxxxxxxx> To: "pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 12:24 PM Subject: [pskmail] Plese educate me Hi My server is running, hopefully this time with no trouble, I see some activity but have difficulty understanding what is going on. F.ex: "beacon:K4RST" that is a beacon sent by K4RST - that one is easy "K4RST->AB9FT link req:K4RST> 14:14 UTC Sep-28-2011: > Unproto: K4RST><AB9FT ": is that link request from K4RST to AB9FT?? "DL1DHM->IS0GRB-3" : what is that ?? is that over the radio or net?? VE7CUS->VE7SUN 9A7AOF->9A1CRA Now, is there any easy way to upgrade server?? How to set up beacon for every 10 min?? Thanks in advance Robert KB2PNM
