NOTE : This program is specific to GT version 16.
It will not operate correctly with earlier versions of GT.
PURPOSE
This program will automatically request a GL report from your hub(s)
once a week or once a month on the day you select.
SETTING UP
Not much to do, just place GETGL.EXE somewhere in your dos path.
Then add a line to the start of your netmail batch file before
mbagger, like so :
GETGL <day> <net/node> [<net/node> .... ]
or
GETGL <date> <net/node> [<net/node> .... ]
where <day> is any one of SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
or <date> is any number between 1 and 31 (watch out for short months)
and <net/node> is the net/node address of the system(s) from which
you're requesting the GL report.
For example, I have the following line near the top of my NETMAIL.BAT
file :
GETGL FRI 302/000
So, each Friday morning, it will send a GL request to 302/000.
Nothing to it!
┌─ Registration ──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ This program does not require registration in the normal sense. │
│ There's no money involved, you don't need a crc to run it, etc, │
│ etc. All I ask is that, if you're using the program, I'd like to │
│ know about it. There's an easy way. From dos, just run : │
│ │
│ GETGL REGISTER │
│ │
│ GetGl will then send me a netmail message noting that you're │
│ using the program. Easy, no cash, no pain, no strain. │
