-
- Post us some of what you are trying to do. Some extern entries
- require changes based on the program(s) you are running.
-
- Here's a one from my extern directory.
-
- UUDECODE
- /access=1 /log /slash /command="c:\comm\waffle\bin\uudecode -q -y %i"
- /then="done-uu"
-
- This allows a user to uudecode a file in their home directory.
-
- Be careful if you are using SHROOM. A remote user can lock up the
- system is if the extern program does not do its own serial i/o or
- automatically exit back into the board.
-
- -> 2. During the day when I am home, I have waffle directed to a Link
- -> terminal in my living room.
- -> <details of timeout deleted>
-
- -> RLOGON.BAT
- -> @ECHO OFF
- -> waffle online 9600
- -> CALL RLOGON.BAT
-
- Huh?
-
- Your batch file is telling waffle that there is someone online already
- at 9600 baud. Waffle sends out its Login: message and waits for a
- response. If it doesn't get one in the timeout period, it exits.
-
- If you just want to keep the BBS in view and watch as users log in.
- You just need to start waffle "bare" and it will put up its "Awaiting
- Call......." message.
