GETLIST.EXE - A Program for FBB 5.14 that is run from CRON.SYS and makes a
message for a user that contains a list of new messages like the 'L' command.
It was with pms's in mind that this prog was written, hopefully to update
pms users with msg lists 'out of hours'.
It gets the 'last message read' number from INF.SYS and updates it to reflect
the last message number that has been put in his message.
The program GETLIST.EXE should be placed in the \fbb\bin directory and it
reads required info from INIT.SRV as to the locations of other files it needs
(DIRMES.SYS MAIL.IN etc).
The entries in cron.sys should be like below:-
X GETLIST G3VXN 0 200
( you should put the users c/s in place of g3vxn )
the first number is the 'sysop' flag and the second is the maximum number of
lines that will be included (this to limit message size).
to create a listing twice a day at 0800 and 1800 with no size limit try:-
IF H 8,18
X GETLIST G3VXN 0 0
ENDIF
If you want a remote sysop or yourself to get a complete listing of private
and killed stuff put an 8 after your callsign (the 'sysop' magic number fbb
uses in init.srv (first connection/security mask) like :=
IF H 8,18
X GETLIST G3VXN 8 0 ( get ALL in the list )
ENDIF
Source code in Turbo Pascal, will be available in a week or so if wanted.
Next project will probably be a companion prog to this one so that a user
can send a msg to the BBS with a list of msgs that he wants forwarding to
himself.
My thanks to Brian, G4DXB, sysop of GB7GBY for both passing me a copy of fbb
and allowing me to create chaos on his box.
Any comments, good, bad or indifferent would be very welcome to:-
Martin G3VXN @ GB7GBY or my landline BBS on 0964-550745.
