MULTI-SCRIPT v1.00
by John Wright
A Telix utility that executes many scripts from one.
Multi-Script is a useful utility that will allow you to
run multiple scripts during some time event. This program is
especially useful for SysOps who need to execute more than one
script during their daily event, or for those Telix users who
would like to auto-logon several BBSs. This program goes hand-in-
hand with another program by the same author, Auto-Run. Auto-Run
allows the Telix user to auto-execute a script at a certain time
of day. When used together, you could initiate your scripts at
a certain time of day or night, and then run multiple scripts,
enabling you to logon several BBS's or hosts automatically.
Multi-Script was written entirely in SALT, Telix's powerful
script language. Special thanks go to Colin Sampaleanu, author of Telix
and the SALT language. Telix is a registered copyright of:

Multi-Script was written as Share-Ware, meaning that a
registration fee must be sent to the author if this program is to
be used after a 10-day trial period. Registration of programs such
as these guarantees the continued willingness of software authors
to make available to the public, useful low-cost programs. Type
"register" to print a registration form for this program.
The following files should have been present in the original
archive file:
multiscr.bat - A batch file that initiates Multi-Script.
multiscr.slc - Telix script file with actual program.
multiscr.doc - The manual you are reading.
scripts.dat - A data file of the scripts to be run.
register.txt - The registration form for Multi-Script.
register.bat - A batch file to print registration form.
bbs.txt - A descriptive text file to be uploaded
as an info message about this program.
* A QUICK DEMONSTRATION: Place all files in your Telix directory.
Use a text editor such as EDLIN or Qedit to modify "scripts.dat".
Just replace the example script names with the names of the scripts
you wish to run, placing one on each line. Then Type "Multiscr"
and the program will begin.
* To run Multi-Script during an event, simply edit the "scripts.dat"
file, replacing the examples with your own script names. Then have
your event batch file call "multiscr.bat". Multi-Script will take it
from there, and return you to your event batch file when finished.
* To run Multi-Script in conjunction with Auto-Run, follow the
instructions above except do not type "multiscr". Then, run Auto-Run
and enter Multiscr.slc for the script to be executed automatically.
Special Note: If you want to determine if all of your scripts have
executed successfully, you may do so. Multi-Script records all of
it's usage information in a file called "multiscr.log". This file is
created automatically the first time Multi-Script is run. Multi-Script
also returns an error-level to the originating batch file that tells
how many scripts were executed successfully. i.e. errorlevel == 5
if 5 scripts were run successfully. Remember to use the dos "call"
command when running Multi-Script from another batch file, or the
errorlevel will not be returned to your originating batch file. If
using Auto-Run to call this program, the errorlevel will be returned
to the Auto-Run batch file (auto-run.bat).
Look for the author's other software programs at your favorite
BBS or at the BBS listed below:
Colortel.zip - A Telix macro key program that allows the entry
of ANSI color in all of your messages. Draw
sharp boxes and borders - all in color!
Auto-Run.zip - Allows the automatic execution of any Telix script
at a certain time designated by the program user.
Also will execute the script continuously (every
day) at the time of day set by the user.
