The WAKEUP file controls all timer events except forwarding.
Each line looks like this
881231/1306 ==/==/== 00:15 GI
The first part of the WAKEUP file tells when the thing last happened.
In this case it was December 31st, 1988 at 1:06 PM. This time is
written by the BB program after the event happens.
WHEN YOU ARE ENTERING AN EVENT FOR THE FIRST TIME, LEAVE IT BLANK
The first time I entered that line, I put
==/==/== 00:15 GI
The next two parts of the line tell when to do the event. If you put
an == in the date section then that matches that part of the date.
Examples:
==/==/== means every day
12/31/88 means only on that day
==/01/== means the first of every month
Special meanings:
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDY
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
SATURDAY
SUNDAY
WEEKDAY
WEEKEND
More examples:
WEEKDAY means MON thru FRI inclusive
After the date comes the time. If it is written as 01:30, that means
at 0130. If it is written as +01:30, than means every hour and a half.
== is allowed as the hour/
Examples:
0300 means execute at 3AM
+1 means once an hour.
==:13 means execute every hour at 13 minutes past.
Note: 06:== is the same as 06:00 so don't use 06:==
The last section of the message tells what to do. Any command
can be entered.
Heres the sample WAKEUP file.
==/==/== 00:15 GI
==/==/== 01:30 GL
==/==/== 02:30 GO TYPE T 2 P 5 B 15
At 0015, the bids will be cleaned up
At 0130, the msg file will be reloaded
At 0230, we mark old messages. Marking is by type. NTS is old a two days.
Private is old at 5 days. Bulletins get old at 15 days.
Important notes!!!!
If you use the built-in editor to update the WAKEUP_FILE, you should
execute the GK command from the console when you are done. This will
force BB to reload the wakeup data.
If you are issuing SHUT or SHUTNOW from a WAKEUP.BB file, check your
disk caching programs carefully. There has already been one fellow who
had his disk caching program delaying writes to the disk and went into a
shutdown loop. Inhibit any write delay if you are using SHUT or SHUTNOW
in the wakeup file.
