- ON-CALL SOFTWARE PRESENTS
-
- THE ENFORCER!
- BY
- Joe Hardage
- The CatHouse BBS
- (502) 895-5920
- Price: $10 bucks WELL SPENT....READ ON AND SEE!!
- Way back when I was foolish and tried to both run a BBS and be a
- mail hub, I used to hate it when a user was online taking up time that
- should have been open for a calling node. Now that I am but a mere calling
- node, I hate it when some schmuck is up at 3 a.m. hogging the HUB BBS with a
- download while my Mail Software is tying up MY bbs trying to logon to that
- Hub for mail! So I wrote this quick and dirty Utility that is specific for
- Wildcat 3.6 since it now has Login1.bat and Login2.bat which is perfect for
- this kind of Utility!
-
- WHAT IT DOES: Enforcer checks the callers security level against a few
- security levels that you provide in your sysop.cfg file. If the caller
- does not match then he or she is sent a nice Ansi screen explaining that
- your BBS is now allowing only NetMail runs. You can edit the Ansi and Asc
- screens to reflect the times you are allowing only netmail users to log on.
- When they are sent the screen, they are automatically logged off of your
- BBS. However, if they MATCH then nothing is displayed and there is just
- a small pause while the door unloads itself.
- This should allow automated mail runs to proceed very smoothly and give
- your calling nodes a much better chance of connecting to your board for
- the mail.
-
- SETUP: Simple, just edit the enclosed config files to suit your needs.
- Now you need to edit 3 batch files to make it work!
- #1 Enforcer.bat COPY FORCEON.BAT LOGIN1.BAT
-
- #2 FORCEON.BAT CD\WC30
- ENFORCER ENFORCER.CFG
-
- #3 FORCEOFF.BAT CD\WC30
- DEL LOGIN1.BAT
-
- Now put all the enforcer files in the archive along with the batch files
- above into your Wildcat Home Directory.
- Then go into the Sysop Menu and Edit your events! Make Enforcer.bat
- a HARD event that executes just prior to when your nodes start calling! This
- will force any callers who manage to connect just prior to Enforcer being
- active to be logged off by the board! Then add Forceoff.bat as another
- event that executes AS A SOFT EVENT! when you think all the
- nodes should be done and you are ready to let the regular callers back on!
- Hope this works for you!
-
- USES: Can be used to stop people from screwing up your mail runs and to
- reward paying users with special times when only THEY can log on!
-
- REGISTERED FEATURES: Reads all 3 security levels and displays either the
- included ansi & ascii screens or you can edit them to suit! Only
- $10.00 for this very USEFUL Door! Similar to PCBlimit found on
- Pcboard BBS's! Wildcat 3.6 Specific!
- READ THE INCLUDED ORDER.FRM FOR ORDERING DETAILS!
