I'm hoping        EW> to create a script to post messages directly to a local message        EW> base.              I don't know about python, but you can use mutil to post messages to any base       you like.              [ --- begin weather.ini --- ]       [General]        PostTextFiles = true        logfile = mutil.log        logcache = true        loglevel = 2        logtype = 1        maxlogfiles = 3        maxlogsize = 1000              [PostTextFiles]        totalfiles = 3               file1_name = /tmp/weather.txt        file1_baseidx = 29        file1_from = Northern Realms        file1_to = All        file1_subj = Southern Ontario Weather        file1_addr = 21:3/110        file1_delfile = false       [...]       [ --- end weather.ini --- ]              In this example I use a script to fetch the weather and put it into a text file       (/tmp/weather.txt). The baseidx is the index number of the message base you       want to post to. Fill out the other details and then just run ./mutil       weather.ini and your message is posted.                     Jay              ...
