XMAINTN.EXE v2.01 (c) 1993, 1994 Joseph Rounceville
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DOCUMENTATION
Purpose
+++++++
In addition to Xcreate and Xuserdel, it came to my attention that an
additional utility would be useful for Jack Breon's #1WRDSCH BBS door.
Periodically, it becomes necessary for the sysop to "clean house".
By this I mean that old users who don't feel the need to maintain their
user accounts need to be deleted to make room for new users. Well, Xmaintn
was the response to this need, and its use is rather self explanetory.
Technical
+++++++++
It is imperative that Xuserdel be in the same directory as Xmaintn. Xmaintn
is intended to be used as a utility to be run at nightly (or daily
I suppose if your board regenerates in the day) intervals when the
board goes through its usual regeneration routines. Xmaintn has only one
command line option. It is the /D99 option (Where '99' would be substituted
for the number of days to allow the user account to go unused). As with the
command line on Xuserdel, use only the number of digits necessary to
represent the number you are stating. For example: If you want to represent
7 days, Use: XMAINTN /D7
Don't use: -----------------> XMAINTN /D07
^^^^^^^^^^^^
^WRONG!!!!!!!^
(By the way, this is something I plan to remedy in 2.2! I realize it's
kinda silly.)
More Technical Info
+++++++++++++++++++
You'll need to create a .bat file that has XMAINTN in it. Put you're chosen
number of days for cut off as a command line option.
Example <-------------------------->
Create XMNITE.BAT containing:
XMAINTN /D14
This will cut off all #1WRDSCH users over 14 days old. Now, put XMNITE.BAT
in your event list. There should be a copy of XMNITE.BAT with the zip
you received Xmaintn in if you want to just use it.
Registration
++++++++++++
Xmaintn is shareware. It may be traded freely. I would however like to see
it only traded in conjunction with #1WRDSCH. Jack and I have agreed that
Xmaintn will be considered part of #1WRDSCH and as such, it should not be
separated. I do not require a registration fee. I have included my address
information in the event that you discover some terrible bug, or have some
suggestions (which I really DO like to hear) for improving Xmaintn.
Closing
+++++++
Well, I hope that you find Xmaintn useful--on the whole it's pretty self
explanetory and easy to use. Below is my address:
