| TGUQUIT - Telegard User Quit alarm
| For Telegard (any version!)
| Release Date - January 13, 1993
DISCLAIMER: Hey, I'm not responsible for anything. Batch files, if not
written correctly, are inherently dangerous. I hereby take no responsibility
for any damage that may occur through the use of these batch files or other
files in this archive. End of story.
REGISTRATION: You've gotta be kidding!!! I REALLY don't expect ANY money
for a couple measly batch files that took 10 minutes to write!!! Besides, I
hate software that has to be registered with the author. I'm doing this to
help others, not help myself. Enjoy! If you send me money it'll be sent back
to the source.

TgUserquit is a series of batch files created to quit immediately after a
user logs off, but can be configured for yourself. If run by itself,
Telegard can do essentially the same thing by pressing Shift-F10 while a
user is on. However, if Telegard is loaded with a Front End mailer, and the
-q option is used, this function will do you no good.

!! Before I proceed, I just wanted to tell all of you what an incredibly !!
!! BRILLIANT person I am, and how original and creative I was to get the !!
!! idea for this ALL BY MYSELF!!!! NOT!!!!!!!! Okay, okay, the idea came !!
!! from a wonderful SysOp friend of mine at a party in which everyone !!
!! eventually got drunk and passed out at. :) Hence, I decided to try it !!
!! out myself. I loved it SO MUCH that I couldn't keep it to myself! !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing you need to do is create a batch file in your Telegard directory
(or use the one provided) named GLOBAT1.BAT. This can be executed using Alt-1
in Telegard while a user is on.
Here's my GLOBAT1.BAT
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@echo off
echo I want the computer!!!>c:\bbs\iwantit.tmp
exit
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Pretty simple... Now you'll want a file called TG.BAT that looks like the
following:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@echo off
telegard %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7
if exist c:\bbs\iwantit.tmp goto iwantit
goto end
:iwantit
del c:\bbs\iwantit.tmp
echo ath1m0>com1
cls
echo Come and get it!!! \ ┌─ Here, add
c:\sbpro\sbfmdrv>nul >─┤ whatever suits
c:\sbpro\cmf\playcmf c:\sbpro\cmf\mozart1.cmf>nul / └─ your needs.
wait 30
if errorlevel 2 goto itsmine
if errorlevel 1 goto end
:end
cd\fd
front
goto end2
:itsmine
echo Enjoy!
:end2
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The two lines that load load my Sound Blaster Pro Driver and playcmf are simply
meant to warn me that the user has logged on (plus it sounds good and makes it
look professional-like). You can use whatever you want here, whether it's PC
music or the Star Trek theme or whatever. I myself enjoy Mozart. :)
WAIT is another program included in this archive. Special thanks to the
designer(s) who wrote it. This program will return an errorlevel 0 if the time
specified (in seconds) elapses, an errorlevel 1 if a "white" key is pressed
(enter, space, tab), and an errorlevel 2 if a "non-white" key is pressed (any
other key). Refer to the documentation of wait for further details.
You're front.bat file (or whatever you execute for your Front end mailer). In
this example, I used a few sections of my Front Door batch file. The
errorlevel Front Door exited with for a 2400 baud caller was 201.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@echo off
:loop
cd\fd
FD
if errorlevel 201 goto c24
goto end
REM Lotsa stuff deleted in here....
:c24
echo.>com1
echo Welcome! Please wait while Destruct Zero FIRES UP!>com1
echo.>com1
cd\bbs
tg -b24 -q
cd\fd
goto loop
REM Lotsa stuff deleted here too....
:end
echo ath1m0>com1
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
And that's all there is to it! Just repeat the above for all you baud rates,
inserting the correct speed when apropriate! Quite easy actually... Now just
press Alt-1 and go eat lunch, watch T.V. or call your bes friend and the
computer will let you know when you can use it!

Wow! I wrote all this crap in less than an hour! If you use these
instructions, I would like to here from you. Tell me what you think, and how
I can improve TGUQUIT. I can be reached by the following mediums:
1:104/329 - FidoNet
21:21/2 - FishNet
jadams@csn.org - Internet
Or, you can call Destruct Zero BBS at (303)797-3805. By the way, the name is
Marion.
