Version 1.2 Compiled 16/10/92
A Public Domain Utility for Wildcat! SysOps
from The Development System BBS
(071) 388 4764
WHAT IT DOES:
=============
INFORMER allows you to quickley and easily monitor the activities of
certain users. It's far easier than scanning multiple Activity Logs
looking for names, and if used in conjunction with PostMaster it will
notify you!
SETTING UP:
===========
Just copy the EXE file to somewhere in you path and check you have the
following to environmental variables set (Most Wildcat systems have them
allready).
WCNODEID - The number of the current node.
HOMEPATH - Your Wildcat Home Directory. ("C:\WC30\")
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
====================
INFORMER is best added to your POSTCALL.RUN file so that it will be
executed after each caller. There is only one command option that you
may wish to use and that is '+' or '-'. This is the default status to
assign to each new user that INFORMER detects (it knows nobody when it's
first run!)
INFORMER - Will add new users to it's own userlist but
will not monitor their activities in the
future.
INFORMER + Will add new users to it's userlist and
continue to monitor them on future
calls.
INFORMER will create two output files. One is it's userlist, and this is
called INFORMER.LST, the other is the actual report.
INFORMER.LST is an ASCII file with the user names prepended with either
a plus or minus, this is their monitoring status.
INFORMER.1 (the node current node number) is the INFORER report that you
are interested in. This can either be copied, printed or best of all,
imported into the message base via other utilities like Postmaster.
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
INFORMER is Public Domain. I don't seek or accept any donations
for this. I welcome suggestions, and will try to help (no guarantees) if
there are problems. You may also leave a message via TheNet or my BBS
number above.
There are a few error messages written in, but nothing amazing!
REVISION HISTORY:
=================
Version 1.0 Compiled 07/10/92 First General Release.
Version 1.1 Compiled 10/10/92 It now appears to work!
Bashed out INFOEDIT to make
editing the user status
easier.
