NWE Home :: Help :: Instruct :: Teaching Help

The command listarchive copies your section's email archive from the main email archive directory to your home directory so you can save course email at the end of a semester.

To use the program, open a local xterm shell and type listarchive. Then tell the program the name of the list archive which you want to copy, eg. f05-1234.

Here's what copy-www does, in detail:

1. Announces itself cheerily.
2. Asks for the list name.
3. Copies the archive into a tar archive and compresses it with gzip.

When you're ready to put the archive somewhere and look at it, you can type

gtar -xzvf f05-1234.tar.gz

and you'll extract a directory called f05-1234 with all of the archive messages while keeping the archive file intact. Substitute your list name as appropriate.

If you have any problems with listarchive please email help@nwe.ufl.edu and we'll get right on it.
