If you're a current user of TIMECHEK, please check the docs and the
sample control file. There have been some changes which could affect
you if you don't modify your current set up.
V1.0
#1: The TIMECHEK control file no longer permits BLANK LINES. Every
line is either commented out with '*' or ';' or it's a valid
data line with user name and associated data.
#2: The TIMECHEK control file is now limited to 500 lines MAX. I
hope this won't be a problem with anyone. Let me know if it
is.
#3: TIMECHEK always commented out a user that had been modified
during a run. You'll now need to add the "-C" command line
switch to make TIMECHEK continue to do this, otherwise, TIMECHEK
will delete the users name and data from the control file.
This command line switch comes AFTER the name of the Timechek
control file. Like so...
TIMECHECK Timechek.ctl -c
V1.1
Thanks to Ed Propes, a very SERIOUS bug was squashed in version
1.0. Timechek would update the users settings, but it would
write the changes to the NEXT user in users.bbs! Not nice.
V1.2
At the request of Vernon Six, TIMECHEK 1.2 now allows flagging a
user as DELETED. Timechek will NOT delete the user, just flag him
as deleted. You will have to run userpack to remove said user
from your users.bbs file.
To have Timechek flag a user as deleted on a specific date, set
his security level to -1 in the timechek control file. The user
won't have much need for flags after this action, so you do not
need to have any flag settings for this user. Just Name, Date
and -1 security level.
