Command-line parameters
------------------------------------------------------------
RemoteAccess accepts the following command-line parameters:
-NOEMS : Forces RemoteAccess to ignore any available EMS.
-Kpwd : Lock the local keyboard with a password. The
password must be correctly entered prior to using
any ALT-key.
-L : Run RemoteAccess in local mode.
-S : Set "snoop" mode off; disable local screen.
-D : Disable status bar by default.
-R : Log user back on-line after a menu type 15 exit.
-G : Used with the -R option; forces RemoteAccess to
{+} return to the last menu the user was in at the
time of the previous exit to DOS. The default is
to return to the TOP menu.
-P : Log user activity to printer.
-Nxx : Line (node) number in a multi-line system (1-99).
-Cx : Communications port to use (1-4).
-Bxxxxx : Log user on-line at baudrate xxxxx.
-Exxx : Exit at errorlevel xxx after caller logs off.
-Txxx : Time (in minutes) until next system event.
NOTE: Some mailers have the capability to generate
a "standard format" batch file called DOBBS.BAT to
run the BBS program. In shell-to-mailer mode (see
below) RemoteAccess will scan this batch file (if
present) to determine the time until the next
event.
-M<f> : Activate the "shell to mailer" feature. This
causes RemoteAccess, upon loading, to execute your
front-end mailer program in a DOS shell. When the
mailer exits, RemoteAccess detects the errorlevel
it would normally pass to the batch-file. If the
errorlevel matches one defined in RACONFIG, the
user is logged on to the BBS at the appropriate
baud rate. If the errorlevel is not recognised as
an incoming call, RemoteAccess exits to its
batch-file at that errorlevel. See the BATCH FILE
EXAMPLES section for more on this feature.
NOTE: RemoteAccess does the swap by storing a
"swap file" in EMS (if available) and on disk.
Normally this file would be stored in the system
directory, but it is possible to force
RemoteAccess to put the file in a directory of
your choice by setting the RATEMP environment
variable. For example, if you executed the DOS
command SET RATEMP=E:\TEMP\STORAGE, then the swap
file would be placed in the E:\TEMP\STORAGE
directory.
In "shell to mailer" mode, it is possible for two
errorlevels to conflict. For example, errorlevel 5
is used by RA to indicate that a user entered both
net and echomail, and by FrontDoor to indicate
modem initialise failure. If the front-end returns
an errorlevel that conflicts in this way,
RemoteAccess will pass to the batch file that
errorlevel plus 10. So, if FrontDoor returned
errorlevel 5 because the modem would not
initialise, RemoteAccess would pass errorlevel 15
to the batch file. .
