- # autocis - xc script to visit CIS automagically.
- # This file uses 4-character tabstops.
- # It will log in, visit CIS Mail (if mail is waiting), then the
- # PRACTICE and UNIX Fora, uploading any prepared files, downloading
- # all new messages, and capture into three separate files.
- # The following assumptions are made about your CIS interactions:
-
- # You go to MAIL upon login if any mail is waiting.
- # You are in "expert" mode in MAIL.
- # You are in Command mode in all Fora.
- # You have opted for continuous reading in all Fora.
- # You have set your Prompt Char set to '^H' --backspace-- in all Fora.
- # This last is VERY critical to the properly trigger the WAITFORs
-
- # The script can be modified to set all of these options on a per/session
- # basis if you wish to remain in menu-mode at other times
-
- tty "on" # echo to the tty while script is running
- debug "on" # capture in debug.log providing file pre-exists
- set 7bit on # CIS is happier
- set bps 2400
- set cis off # don't trigger on any stray ENQ character
- set xoff on # set XON/XOFF signalling
