///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// fUtil - An AdeptXBBS file system utility program //
// //
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Run fUtil from your AdeptXBBS directory.
Command line parameters:
------------------------
DELAREA x - Where 'x' are the area numbers in which to delete all
files. A sequence of areas may be specified using the
following format: xx-xx For instance, if you wished to
delete all files in areas 11 thru 20 you would enter
DELAREAS 11-20
Multiple sequences may be separated by commas.
DELAREAS 1-10,31-45,99
You can delete files in up to 10240 areas.
NOTE: In testing, I noticed that a very few files
would be left in an area after mass deletion.
This happened only once. And to only one area
out of 10 I was deleting. If this happens to
you, please let me know.
MOVEAREA x - Where 'x' are the areas you would like to move files
from, and areas to move files to. To separate the 'from'
area from the 'to' area, use a minus sign '-'
For instance, if you wish to move all files in area 4
to area 6 you would enter
MOVEAREA 4-6
Multiple sequences may be separated by commas.
MOVEAREA 1-3,6-2,7-12
You can move files in up to 10240 areas.
Files are moved in the order given.
MOVEAFILE x y z - Moves a single file 'x' from area 'y' to area 'z'.
MOVEFILESTODL - Used with MOVEAREA or MOVEAFILE.
It means to move the files to the download path of the new
area.
Default is not to move the files on the disk.
MOVEFILESTOUL - Used with MOVEAREA or MOVEAFILE.
It means to move the files to the upload path of the new
area, instead of the download path.
Default is not to move the files on the disk.
TOUCHFILE x y - Used to put a new timestamp on file 'x' in area 'y'.
By default it uses the current time. See also
TOUCHDATE and USEFILEDATE.
TOUCHDATE mm-dd-yy -Used to specify the timestamp for the file you have
asked to be touch. 'mm'=month 'dd'=day 'yy'=year
USEFILEDATE - Means to use the files timestamp as the new time for
the file you asked to be touched.
PRUNE - Get rid of deleted, old, or unused records in the
file system.
The file system is rebuilt from scratch in the 'Files\New'
directory. When complete, the newer file system is copied
in place of the old file system. The old file system
files are renamed to 'Files\*.Old' or are deleted if you
used the DELBACKUPS parameter.
Times to prune the file system:
- When you have changed a lot of file descriptions.
- When you have deleted a lot of files.
- When you have moved a lot of files.
DELBACKUPS - Deletes old file system after it has been pruned.
REBUILDDESC - Rebuilds pointers to file descriptions.
DELETEFILES - When deleting files in an area, this also deletes the files
from the disk.
