- | The first thing to note is that using the plugboard generally takes a little personal effort. There are sample scripts available to help get you going, but it is assumed that you can prepare a script, get it onto the HAH and run it. Being familiar with tools such as FTP & vi, together with a basic knowledge of some Unix commands will make your work with the plugboard a lot easier. Best of all, once you get the basic knowledge under your belt, there is a whole world of possibility for rule based processing and actioning. | + | The first thing to note is that using the plugboard generally takes a little personal effort.
