POSTSCRIPT Script 1.3
Created for RIME Sysops that use ACCESS or QMM to handle mail transfers
and want to include the POSTDOOR stuff in the mail run.
Installation is simple. Copy both files into your TELIX directory,
configure the POSTDOOR.CFG file and then set ACCESS up to Instascript.
Files included:
POSTDOOR.SLC - Telix script file
POSTDOOR.SLT - Uncompiled Script
POSTDOOR.CFG - Configuration file
POSTDOOR.DOC - Documentation file (your reading it now)
CRS.INS - Sample Instascript file
Sample Configuration File:
--------------------------
D:\POSTLINK\WORK\ <--- Line 1, Directory of POSTLINK mail directory
5213 <--- Line 2, POSTLINK ID number
N <--- Should be "Y" or "N" depending on whether or
not you want to stay online should your Hosts
POSTDOOR decide to begin packing message bases
on your time (I got stuck online for 86 minutes
once because of this!... on my system this is
set to N since I don't want to wait. Of course
your Hosts message packs might be short so it
would be OK to wait)
Sample Instascript file:
------------------------
SCRIPT postdoor
END
What does it do?
----------------
Basically all this script does is issue the command "POSTDOOR" to open
the Host's door and then automatically uploads your PREAMBLE file,
Uxxxx.ZIP file and then downloads the "Dxxxx.ZIP" file all in the
appropriate directory. Should the download fail then the script will
delete the Dxxxx.ZIP file for you.
On a successful upload the PREAMBLE, Uxxx and Uxxxx.ZIP files are all
deleted (just in case). This helps prevent duplicates.
Here's a sample of my EVENT batch file. I don't know if this is the
best way but it seems to cover the bases. From what I've learned about
POSTLINK should a mail upload fail and you run with the /CONTINUE option
anyway then it will delete the message upload file as if it had actually
been uploaded. Because of this I use a few "tests" in the batch file.
EVENT.SYS
---------
if exist d:\postlink\work\u5213.zip goto continue
:POST
cd\postlink
postlink caller.cfg
:CONTINUE
cd\telix
telix q ctelix.cf%PCBNODE% saxsauto
busy %COMPORT%
rem busy %COMPORT%
cd\qnet
qnet nanet /i
qnet ilink /i
cd\rose
rm crs /i
cd\postlink
if exist d:\postlink\work\d5213.zip postlink caller.cfg /CONTINUE
I hope this is of some use to some of you. Now I suppose I should put
in the legal stuff just in case some total loon has trouble and decides
to blame me.
