- mbox [<subcommands>]
-
- Without a subcommand, display the current users of the nodeshell.
- With a valid subcommand, it will execute the following commands.
-
-
- mbox alias [<alias>] ["cmd"]
-
- Set or show alias commands for the mailbox/nodeshell. To use an
- alias, the user must type the full alias which will then cause
- "cmd" to be executed. If the user types 'A', a list of sysop-
- defined aliases will be displayed. 'alias' is 6 characters
- maximum. "cmd" is 64 characters maximum. Note that "cmd" is in
- double quotes.
-
- 'mbox alias' displays the current aliases.
- 'mbox alias <alias>' displays only <alias> if it is defined.
- 'mbox alias <alias> <cmd>' adds, deletes, or redefines <alias>
-
- Example: To add a new BBS command -
-
- mbox alias bbs "c port bbscall"
-
- To delete an alias-
-
- mbox alias myalias ""
-
- To redefine an alias-
-
- mbox alias bbs "c newport newbbscall"
-
- mbox attend [ON|off]
-
- This displays or sets the attend flag. If set, users can initiate
- chat with the sysop via the O)perator mailbox command.
- (You need to have started the ttylink server for this !)
-
-
- mbox bbsonly [iface] [on | OFF]
-
- Specify whether iface is only accessible to stations which have
- the BBS flag set.
-
-
- mbox convers [on|OFF]
-
- Display or set the access to the conference bridge. The mailbox
- or nodeshell 'CONV' command is disallowed when off. Default is
- ON.
-
- mbox fwdinfo [string]
-
- Displays or sets the string that is used in the BBS R: header
- when forwarding mail to other BBSes.
-
-
- mbox haddress [string]
-
- Displays or sets your system's hierarchical bbs address. As of
- version 1.08, you must include the bbs call with the hierachical
- address.
-
- Example:
- mbox haddress wg7j.or.usa.na
-
-
- mbox header [on|OFF]
-
- Explicitly turns the R: line in the message header on or off.
- With mbox header off, regular users can forward from jnos to
- another system designated as a full-service bbs without leaving a
- trace to their system. This avoids having a downstream bbs
- improperly identify the originating station as a bbs.
-
- The elements of the R: header are optional as of jnos107. If not
- set the line will be empty.
-
- NOTE: 'mbox header off' also turns off 'mbox thirdparty.'
-
-
- mbox hideport [<iface>] [on | OFF]
-
- Display or set a port that should not be displayed when the 'P'
- command in the mailbox or nodeshell is given. Display if
- available to users with sysop permissions. This command is
- useful for ports that should be backbone linking only, etc. Note
- that currently users can still do ax.25 connections via that
- port, if they know the name. Default is OFF, the port is
- displayed.
-
- mbox hideport port1 on
-
-
- mbox kick
-
- This is an immediate command. It forces the system to start a new
- bbs forwarding cycle.
-
-
- mbox mailfor [interval]
- mbox mailfor exclude [areaname areaname ...]
- mbox mailfor watch [call_1 call_2 ...]
-
- Interval is in seconds. At the end of each interval, the system
- reads all non-area mailboxes and checks them for unread mail.
- Next, a beacon is sent on all active interfaces. (see 'mbox
- mport' command). The beacon is addressed to the AX.25 address
- 'MAIL'. The data in this packet contains a list of the mailboxes
- with unread mail in the format 'Mail for: <user> ... '. Systems
- such as LAN-LINK can trigger mail-snatches from this beacon. If
- <interval> is the string "now" an immediate check is done.
-
- 'mbox mailfor' will show the status of the timer and list
- mailboxes with unread mail.
-
- In certain cases you might not want a private area to show up in
- the mail beacon; e.g., private areas to be forwarded to another
- bbs. You can exclude such areas from the beacon with the
- 'mbox mailfor exclude' command.
-
-
- 'mbox mailfor exclude area1 area2 area3 ...'
-
- will disable these area names from the beacon. You can give
- multiple exclude commands to build the list.
-
- A simple 'mbox mailfor exclude' shows the list.
-
- 'mbox mailfor watch call ...' will watch for new mail arriving
- for the specified personal mailboxes, and add a blinking MAIL to
- the first status line if new mail exists. To remove the MAIL from
- the status line, read the last message in the appropriate mailboxes,
- and force a run of the mailfor process by 'mbox mailfor now'. The
- sysop will typically want to watch his personal mailbox, and perhaps
- a "check" mailbox to which unusual mail is rewritten.
-
-
- mbox maxmsg [n]
-
- This displays or set the maximum number of messages in a
- mailboxfile, for both private and public (i.e., area-) mail. If
- there are more than n messages, the user will only see the first
- n messages.
-
-
- mbox motd [string]
-
- This displays or sets the message of the day which is displayed
- when regular users log on to the system.
-
-

- flag for each port you want the mail beacon to be sent on.
-
-
- mbox newmail [ON|off]
-
- When ON, users will be notified during login which areas have new
- mail since the last time that user logged out. This function

- command.
-
-
- mbox nobid [on | OFF]
-
- Set whether to accept or refuse bulletins with NO BID. Off means

- the user logs in.

- Displays the users that have logged on since the system has been

-

- OFF will prevent the 'please register' message from being sent to
- new users.
-
-
- mbox secure [on |OFF]
-
- This displays or sets the mailbox secure flag. If set, only users
- coming on over netrom and ax25 connections can make gateway

-
-
- mbox sendquery [ON|off]
-
