- MMAINT V2.3 Copyright 1995 Tom Mitchell
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- This is a maintenance utility to check for an inactive minibbs and to
- maintain the data files. It should be setup as a daily event.
-
- Here are the command line options:
-
- MMAINT /S Show Stats-- Current Settings.
- MMAINT /C Configure Settings.
- MMAINT Run As Maintenance Event.
- MMAINT /? (or /H) List these options.
-
-
- MMAINT.EXE must be in the minibbs directory and the batch file should be
- something like:
-
- cd\door\minibbs
- mmaint
- cd\bbs {or wherever you return to}
- board {for tribbs systems}
-
-
- There are three values that you enter to configure the program:
-
- The first is the maximum number of days to allow an InActive mini-BBS
- to remain in the door. There are two things that decide if a mini-BBS is
- inactive. One, is if the mini-Sysop has not been in the MiniBBS door at
- all for more than the specified number of days. The second, is if no
- new messages have been posted in that many days. To disable, enter 0.
-
- The second value is the maximum number of days to allow a user to have
- a mini-BBS (whether or not it is active). If a mini-BBS exists for more
- than the specified number of days, they are removed from being the mini-
- Sysop. To disable, enter 0.
-
- The third is for the type of maintenance that you would like to
- perform. In previous versions, this utility did not delete a mini-bbs
- when it was removed. It only removed the sysop of that area, leaving
- the area available for someone else to claim. You may now set this to:
-
- "T" Take the area away from the current Mini-Sysop
- (as in previous versions), or
- "R" Remove the area (deletes all messages, etc.)
-
-
- If you run MMAINT /C after your minibbs's are claimed, then you can also
- mark each individual area as "Protected From Deletion." This might be
- used to protect an area that is being used for a role playing game.
-
-
- NOTE: If upgrading MiniBBS from a version prior to V2.0,
- you should run UPGRADE.EXE to convert your data files
- then run MMAINT /C to configure the maintenance utility.
