MAGIC BOOTUP PROGRAM
(C)1994 It's Magic! PC Potions
Magic Bootup was created to run all those utility program that you're suppose
to run everyday. Things like check disk, memory testers, virus scans, backups,
defrags, etc. Place Magic Bootup in you AUTOEXEC.BAT file and it will make
sure that you run those essentials every day.
INSTALLATION
Copy the files created from expanding the MBP.ZIP file, or the files from the
diskette, into the root directory of your C: drive. Use an ASCII editor, DOS's
Edit program works fine, to add the command "MB" to your batch file. Anywhere
after your PATH statement and before your menu or windows command should be
okay.
SETUP
To run Magic Bootup in setup mode type "MB /S" and press enter. To exit setup
press the ESC key.
The first two fields are for entering the cut off time. The cut off time
controls the time at which Magic Bootup resets itself. The hour is entered in
24 hr. format, i.e. 5 AM is 05, and 2 PM is 14. Minutes are entered from 00 to
59.
Magic Bootup accepts up to 10 items to be automatically run each day. Each
item has four fields associated with it. The fields are Name, Priority,
Status, and Command.
Name - Enter a descriptive name for the item, up to 58 characters.
Priority - Enter either a "L" for Low, or a "M" for Medium, or a "H" for High.
Low priority items can be canceled during the 10 second delay. Medium priority
items may be skipped during the 10 second delay. High priority items can not
be skipped or canceled.
Status - Enter either an "N" for Not Run, or a "R" for Run, or a "D" for Done.
Normally you would enter an "N". The program will enter the R's and D's as
necessary. The R status indicated that Magic Bootup attempted to run the item
but that, for some reason, it didn't return to Magic Bootup after it
completed.
Command - Enter either a program name or a batch file name. If you enter a
batch file name be sure to proceed it with the CALL command. The Command line
may be up to 76 characters.
If any one of an item's fields are left blank the entire item will be deleted.
LIST
To see a list of the items type "MB /L" and press ENTER. Press any key to
exit.
FORCE
To force Magic Bootup to run all items type "MB /F" and press enter.
RUN a Specific Item
To run just one specific item type "MB /#", where # is an item's number from 1
to 10, and press ENTER.
