*
* This is a sample QRep configuration file. The following lines define and
* explain each of the 12 keywords currently supported by QRep.
*
* All keywords must begin in column 1 of a line, and must be immediately
* followed by a '=' character. Do not insert any spaces between the keyword,
* the '=' character, and the configuration data. If the configuration data
* contains spaces, such as when you're entering the subject line of a
* message, then it must be enclosed in double quotes ("). If there are no
* spaces, then you do not need to use quotes.
*
* Keywords may be entered in any case (upper or lower), and keyword lines
* may be entered in any order in the configuration file.
*
* When QRep encounters either an asterisk (*) or a blank space in column 1
* of a line, it treats the rest of the line as a comment line.

days=7
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Tells QRep how many days are to be skipped between messages. The file │
│ date on the configuration file is the date a message was last sent. │
│ QRep adds the number of days specified here to that date to get the │
│ next date the message is to be sent. If the next date is less than or │
│ equal to the current system date, then QRep will generate a message. │
│ If it is greater than the current system date, then QRep will end and │
│ return to the command line without generating a message. This feature │
│ is useful in situations where you are advertising items for sale, but │
│ the network you're using limits the frequency of your advertisements. │
│ It is also useful to moderators because it lets them send out │
│ conference rules or guidelines on a regular, automated basis. │
│ │
│ The number of days may range from 0 to 32767. Setting the number of │
│ days to 0 will cause QRep to generate a message every time it is run. │
