PCBMoni

 PCBMoni enables you to view a list of who is currently online and what they
 are doing on the system.  The list shown on your screen is updated every few
 seconds.  In addition to viewing who is online, you can modify the
 information that is shown on the screen; or if you have a network and a
 spying utility, you can spy on the node number to see what is on the screen.

 To load PCBMoni, change to the subdirectory where you installed PCBoard.  At
 the DOS command prompt, type PCBMONI followed by the necessary command line
 parameters and press ENTER.

 Syntax

 PCBMONI [filename] [NumNodes] [MaxOnScreen]

 Command Line Parameters

 [filename]

 This parameter specifies the complete path and filename to your USERNET.XXX
 file.  The location of this file can be found in PCBSetup | File Locations |
 System Files.  If this parameter is not specified or the filename you specify
 is invalid, a usage screen will be displayed showing you the correct syntax
 for PCBMoni.  This parameter is required for PCBMoni to be loaded.

 [NumNodes]

 If you want to limit the number of nodes that will be shown on the screen,
 use this parameter.  For example, you may have a 100 node license, but decide
 to monitor only the first 30 nodes.  In this case, you would specify 30 for
 the number of nodes to monitor.

 [MaxOnScreen]

 Normally the maximum number of nodes will be shown on the screen.  If you
 need to limit the number of nodes that are shown on the screen at one time,
 use this command line parameter. Enter the number of lines that you want to
 view on the screen at any given time -- the default is 22.

 Keyboard Commands

  Up    = Move the highlight bar up one line.  If you are at node 1,
          the bar will not move.
  Down  = Move the highlight bar down one line.  If you are at the last
          node number that you decide to monitor, the bar will not move.
  PgUp  = Move the highlight bar to the next screen.
  PgDn  = Move the highlihgt bar to the previous screen.
  ENTER = Execute NODE.BAT passing the node numbers as parameters.  For
          additional information about spying on a node, see the
          NODE.BAT section in the Batch Files chapter of this manual.
  SPACE = Edit the node record that is currently highlighted.  The Edit
          User Net Status screen will appear on your screen.

 Modifying A Node Record

 To edit a node's record, move the highlight bar to the node number that you
 wish to edit and press SPACE.  When you do, the following screen will be
 displayed to you:

 Fields You Can Edit

 Name      = This field contains the name of the user that is currently
             online.  If nobody is online on this node, the field will be
             blank.

 City      = In this field, the location that the user entered when
             creating their account will be shown.

 Operation = The operation field is used by PCBoard to display information
             about the current operation that the user is performing.  For
             example, if the user is answering a script questionnaire,
             this field will show the script number and the conference it
             is being answered in.  For a list of information that is
             displayed in this field, refer to the 11 SysOp command in the
             PCBoard Commands chapter of this manual.

 Message   = Any text entered in this field will be sent to the user as a
             broadcast message.  You can type up to a 64 character message
             to send to the caller on the node.  When the message is
             displayed, PCBoard will send an accompanying beep to help get
             the attention of the caller.

 Status    = This field contains one character that describes what the
             user is currently doing on the system.  A list of possible
             status values are listed above this field.  Pick the status
             value you want to assign to this node number.

 Saving Your Changes

 Once you have updated the fields that you want to update, press PgDn to save
 the changes or ESC to abort the changes that you have made.
