NAME

tin - transmit a message to insgen

SYNOPSIS

tin [wait] [verbose] msg ...

DESCRIPTION

tin transmits all the arguments in the command line to the insgen program using the socket $HOME_DIR/INSERV. Where $HOME_DIR must be specified in the environment. It awaits the reply, and sends it to stdout.

If the wait keyword is specified the program waits for the insgen server to appear, otherwise, if insgen is not running, the program exits with a non-zero status code.

The verbose keyword causes various debugging statements to be printed out.

BUGS

Interrupt (with cntrl^C) can cause insgen to hang.
