Switch
Switch is a utility that should be run in your event.sys or the $$LOGOFF.BAT
file to ensure that all users names are written as thier real names and
security levels. This needs to be accomplished only when a user logs off the
BBS while using his alias name. Since this cannot be guaranteed each time,
you should run switch each night.
! IMPORTANT !
RNBB SUGGESTS THAT YOU RUN SWITCH IN THE $$LOGOFF.BAT FILE SINCE THIS
GUARANTEES THAT THE USER WILL BE SWITCHED BACK IMMEDIATELY. A sample
$$logoff.bat file is included.
(DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM ANY USER FILE OPERATIONS SUCH AS SORTING WITHOUT
FIRST RUNNING SWITCH).
If you sort or update your users file in an event make sure you run switch
first. Its that simple.
While running switch, If you have sorted your users file first and switch
does not find the appropriate name in the PCBNDX file, you will be notified
and no action takes place on that name.
Switch is very easy to use. Switch can be run from a batch file such as your
event.sys file or it can be run from the command line.
To begin, Place the Switch.exe file in your INCOGNITO Directory. The command
to run switch is SWITCH and the complete path to your Node 1 PCBOARD.DAT file.
Switch must be in the same directory as your INC.CNF file.
Sample Batchfile method
CD \PCB\DOORS\INC
SWITCH C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
CD (etc....)
Switch will locate any users that have logged off the system using thier alias
name and change thier Name back to thier real name, Change thier Security level
back to thier Previous level, and switch thier conference back to conference 0.
(Main Board)
The only change in the switch program is that it is also around 300% faster
and approximately 25% smaller.
Switch 3.0 is not compatible with earlier versions of Incognito and will only
work version 3.0 and above.
