Command Line Interface
The command line interface is the primary interface that req ships
with. It was designed in the spirit of UNIX and the flexibility of
the shell. Some of you may find it similar to the mh mail reader. The
other interfaces are (or should be) built by using these tools to
access the request database.
Manual pages: q, req, reqshow, reqtail, reqglimpse, reqstat, status, req-mailgate, req-nextnum, req-subject
X Windows Interface (tkReq)
Robert Leslie wrote one of the easiest to use
interfaces to the req system. Since it uses tk it provides a nice GUI
for the request system. A Screen Shot is
available.
It is available from our sysadmin ftp directory as tkreq-1.10.tar.gz.
Emacs Interface
Dave Korman is the author of the emacs-based
interface. Req-queue-mode provides a mh-mode-like interface to the
request system while inside emacs, the GNUos.
It is available from our sysadmin ftp directory as request-queue-mode-0.81.tar.gz.
