scanpick

Produce an HTML index of selected mail in an AIPS++ folder.

Synopsis

scanpick [folder]

Description

scanpick is a CGI script which produces a scan listing of messages in an AIPS++ MH email archive folder selected according to pick arguments.

The pick arguments are acquired by another CGI script, pickhtml (p), which generates an HTML form and passes the result to scanpick via the POST method.

scanpick uses an auxiliary perl script called parseform (p) to decode the form output.

Options

None.

Notes

• scanpick is web-enabled via a symlink in /home/tarzan/httpd/cgi-bin, the httpd ScriptAlias directory:

   /home/tarzan/httpd/cgi-bin/scanpick -> /export/aips++/master/etc/scanpick
