We have several "simple" email lists for notification-type messages of interest to a limited audience. The idea is to keep automatically generated notifications off the collboration-wide official mailing lists. Interested parties can subscribe, unsubscribe themselves and others, you need only have privilege to check out and check in to the Hall D Subversion repository.

The Lists

List Name Frequency Description
nightly_build daily Errors and warnings from the nightly build of GlueX software
b1pi Mondays and Thursdays Notification of completion of the bi-weekly b1pi reconstruction job
single_track Tuesdays and Fridays Notification of completion of the bi-weekly single track reconstruction job

Subscribing

If you would like to subscribe to one of these lists there are two methods for doing so.

Method A

Write an email to marki@jlab.org and say that you want to subscribe.

Method B

  1. Check out the directory "listname" using the command:
    svn checkout https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/scripts/simple_email_list/lists/listname
    

    where "listname" is the name from the table above.

  2. In that directory, edit the file "list.txt" adding your email address.
  3. Check "list.txt" back in.

Unsubscribing

Reverse one of the subscription methods mentioned above.
