24.7 EXEBBS.BAT
This is the file you have to create. It should handle everything
required for the BBS software you are running, including
exporting mail after users have logged off, etc. The last
statement of your EXEBBS.BAT file should be the name of the big
(main) batch file. Here is a sample of an EXEBBS.BAT file:
coolBBS -b%1%4 -p%2 -t%3
if errorlevel 200 goto newmail
if errorlevel 40 goto fatal
run
:newmail
cls
@echo User entered echomail, let's send it!
tosscan scan
run
:fatal
cls
@echo A fatal error has occurred in coolBBS
Since DOBBS.BAT calls EXEBBS.BAT with various information, it
can be used to pass parameters to the BBS software. The
result of the above EXEBBS.BAT file would expand to:
coolBBS -b9600/ARQ -p1 -t120
If a BBS call came in at 9600, the COM port is one, the
number of minutes till the next non-user event is 120 and the
optional (%4) string contained /ARQ.
The text RUN, refers to the original (main) batch file, in
which we bring the Mailer back up again. When the BBS
software (coolBBS in the above examples) terminates,
EXEBBS.BAT will trap two errorlevels and then invoke
RUN(.BAT) again.
