<H2><A NAME="ss2.1">2.1 How can I get Spider to restart automatically if it crashes?</A>
</H2>
<P>Put this line into /etc/inittab ..
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
DX:3:respawn:/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl" sysop > /dev/tty7
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Run <EM>telinit q</EM> as root. Spider will restart so be aware. However, any
time you reboot, cluster.pl will start in tty7 and if it crashes, it should restart ok.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2 How can I monitor traffic to and from a node or user?</A>
</H2>
<P>There are 2 ways to achieve this. You can use the <EM>tail</EM> command like this ..
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
tail -f /spider/data/debug/167.dat |grep G0VGS
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>or in later versions of Spider, there is a command called <EM>watchdbg</EM> in which
case you simply type ..
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
watchdbg G0VGS
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss2.3">2.3 My neighbouring node cannot use the RCMD command to me, he just keeps getting the "tut tut" message.</A>
</H2>
<P>Assuming that the permissions are set correctly (perm level 5 required), it could be
that the home_node is set incorrectly. You can reset the home_node using the <EM>spoof</EM>
command like this ..
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
spoof gb7adx set/home gb7adx
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Assuming that the node_call you are changing is gb7adx.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss2.4">2.4 I do not seem to be sending any bulletin mail to my link partners, what is wrong?</A>
</H2>
<P>There is a file in /spider/msg called forward.pl.issue. Rename this to
forward.pl and edit it to meet your requirements. You will need to issue
the command <EM>load/forward</EM> or restart Spider for the changes to
take effect.
