System name: alice-whacker.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 8.4.20 (with mkserv)
Display type: XFree86 3.3.6 Mach64
Shell: /bin/sh (/afs/sipb/project/sipb/bin/zsh?)
Window manager: ssh-agent fvwm2
What were you trying to do?
Get a weather forecast.
What's wrong:
I typed the well-known invocation:
{15} grade170% add weather
{16} grade170% weather -f bos
couldn't read file "bos": no such file or directory
{17} grade170% which weather
/usr/bin/weather
{18} grade170% rpm -qf /usr/bin/weather
expect-5.28-35
{19} grade170% `athdir /mit/weather`/weather -f bos
MAZ007-013>016-071024-
(Normal forecast elided)
The /usr/bin/weather conflicts with the weather locker; given
the utility and general knowledge of the weather locker,
it might want to be removed from the release.
What should have happened:
I should have gotten a weather forecast, unfortunately
telling me that there's not likely to be enough snow to
close the 'Tute tomorrow. :-(
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/mit/zlog/weather. /usr/bin/weather doesn't appear to have
an installed man page.
