keepalink is a command-line tool to renew and keep call signs active on the WinLink radio email service.
keepalink works by establishing a telnet connection to a WinLink CMS and logging in with each call sign. It will also indicate if there are messages waiting to be received.
keepalink MAPFILE
MAPFILE should be a file containing the call signs and passwords for each of
the accounts to renew. Each account should be on a separate line in the file,
with the call sign and passwords separated by a comma.
This is essentially a CSV file containing comma-separated values, with no headers.
If a line is prefixed with # it will be ignored.
# This is a comment line
MYCALL, PASSWORD
OTHER, PASSWORD
#IGNORED, PASSWORD
Running make will produce a keepalink binary on Linux and macOS.
Running make wine will attempt to use wineg++ to cross-compile for Windows.
Compiling on Windows should be possible with MSVC, but is untested. Pull requests welcome to add support!
keepalink is released under the GNU General Public Licence, version 3 or later.
