Cactus Code Thorn Announce Authors : Cactus Maintainers CVS info : $Header$ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thorn Announce will register that your simulation has started to different servers. What is actually does? At the moment, by default the simulation will be registered with the Cactus Simulation Portal. Soon, the thorn will also register with an Email server which will send you, and anyone else you want, an email informing you that the simulation has started, and giving you the URL of the HTTP server to connect to for monitoring and steering your simulation. How to use it? At the moment you need to have thorn HTTPD compiled and active to use the Announce thorn. But that is all, simply activate HTTPD and Announce in your ActiveThorns parameters, and the defaults will take care of the rest. The MailAnnounce portion of the code will contact a CactusMail server and send the simulation information via this remailer. There is a simple SendMail API, which lets yous send arbitrary information via the CactusMailer. When using the SendMail API, you need to provide the following information: To, From, and Reply-To. See TestMail.c for sample usage.
