poll
poll <queue name> [<polling interval> [<polling duration>]]
Reads stories in the specified primary queue in a forward direction at certain intervals for a
specified duration. Polling is used in conjunction with the put or dup commands for rundown
mirroring. Stories with modified times greater than the time of the last scan are processed. If
an interval and duration are not specified, a single scan of the primary queue will be done.
Applies to timed-interval action servers and tx links.
publish
publish [no|yes]
When placed following a scan or bscan line, the txnet publishing option, publish no, disables
appending information to the PUBLISHED.HTML file on the remote system when using
HTML export. The default is set to yes. Applies to tx links.
put
put [<queue name>]
Sends stories over a tx link to a specified queue on the remote system. Applies to tx links.
The <queue name> parameter is optional. When it is not included, the story is put into the
default destination queue of the user on the remote system.
quiet
quiet [no|yes]
Including quiet no in a job list that performs validation sends a message whenever the server
successfully validates a story. The default, quiet yes, means a message is sent only when a
story fails validation. Applies to action servers and tx links.
remote
remote <queue name>
Identifies the secondary wire queue. Applies to parallel wire servers.
