! This determines whether or not the event is active.
1 This field describes the event. (Up to 80 characters)
2 This is the type of event that will be executed. There are
six choices:
ACS -- Enables only certain callers who have the correct
security settings to access the BBS at a certain time
of the day.
Chat -- Not implemented yet.
DOS -- Shells to the DOS level and executes files defined
in the Event Data.
External -- This requires a batch file for execution, which
is used to detect an ERRORLEVEL value.
Pack -- This event packs the message bases by removing
all deleted messages and adjusting the number of
messages in each base to conform to the maximum
limit set in the message base editor.
Sort -- This event sorts the file bases by scanning the
directories and sorting by name.
3 This field will vary with the type of event being executed.
DOS -- The name of the program to be run.
External -- The ERRORLEVEL value to be used when the BBS
quits to DOS.
ACS -- The ACS setting that users must have.
All others -- Not used; the event data field will be
ignored.
4 This is the time before an event that the BBS will become busy.
If a user is online, their online time is adjusted for the
event.
5 This is the time of day that the particular scheduled event
will occur. It is defined in the 24-hour format.
6 This field determines whether or not the modem will be made
busy during the scheduled event.
7 This tells if the event is "Hard" or "Soft". Hard events
will make Renegade shorten a user's time online if it will
keep them on longer then when the event will run. Soft events
wait for the user to logoff before the event is run.
8 This field determines if the BBS should run the event if it
missed it the last time it was supposed to be run.
9 This field sets the number of days since the event was last
run.
A These are the days of either the regular week, or the month,
that the scheduled event will occur.
Weekly -- Event will occur at least once every week. A
bar with the current days active will be displayed as
follows:
Current: SMTWTFS
[ ]
Modify by entering "X"'s under the days the event is to be
active.
Monthly -- This will occur only one day in the month, and
is modified by entering the day it is to be run.
B This field determines which node will run the event. 0 means
the first free node will run it.
[ This will jump back one entry in the list of events.
] This will move forward one entry in the list of events.
F This will move to the first entry in the list of events.
L This will move to the last entry in the list of events.
J This will jump to a specified entry in the list of events.
Q Saves all entries in the list of events and returns to the
main editor screen.
