Linux                                            22 January 2002                                     axgetmsg(1)

       After  the successful connect to the BBS axgetmsg attempts to execute the script /var/ax25/auth_agent and
       redirects its stdin and stdout to the BBS. The BBS callsign is passed as the first command line argument.
       The script should take actions needed for user's authorization to the  BBS.  When  the  script  execution
       fails, axgetmsg continues downloading the messages without authorization.

Axgetmsg  connects  the  BBS  and  downloads  specified  messages using compressed forward protocol. Each
       messages is stored to a single file in the destination directory.

       /var/ax25/auth_agent
       /etc/ax25/axports

       The messages are specified by their numbers via the command line or using the  listfile.  For  specifying
       personal  messages  the  p  letter  can  be added before the message number (e.g. p30981). The difference
       between bulletins and personal messages is that axgetmsg will remove the personal messages from  the  BBS
       after downloading them.
