lwl server

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

I'm not sure if you mean you want to actually run your own server, or you
want to be listed on one.  If you want to run your own, the sflwld program
that comes with the rest of the speak freely stuff does this job.  Take a
look at the manpage for it for more info on it.  If you want to be listed
on one, you just have to set up some environment variables to tell
sfspeaker where to publish your info.  These are:

SPEAKFREE_LWL_TELL=<hostname>  Define the name of the host running the LWL
server on which you wish to be listed.  Example
SPEAKFREE_LWL_TELL=lwl.braille.uwo.ca

SPEAKFREE_ID="<name>:<e-mmail>:<phone>:<location>"  Lists the information
to publish.  Note that you can leave a field blank by putting nothing
between the relevant set of colons.  You need this all in quotes so that
the shell doesn't do weird things.  Example: SPEAKFREE_ID="Geoff
Shang:gshang at uq.net.au:+61-418-96-5590:Brisbane, Australia"

SPEAKFREE-CNAME=<hostname>  Optionally lists a canonical host name for your
system (i.e. a name that will resolve to the IP address you are currently
using, particularly helpful for people wishing to call you directly).  If
you do not have a fixed host name, you don't need to put this in.  Example
usage: SPEAKFREE_CNAME=dominic.yi.org

I usually put these in a script.  If you do it the way I listed above, you
will need to export these variables (e.g. export SPEAKFREE_LWL_TELL
SPEAKFREE_ID SPEAKFREE_CNAME).

For more info on this, consult the sfspeaker manpage.

Good luck!

Geoff.
