- Clean
-
- The CLEAN utility is an anti-ruggie utility. Occasionally, a ruggie
- will gain access to your system and flood a favored room with messages of
- negative social value. The most frustrating fact of this behavior is the
- knowledge that the good messages which were scrolled out of the room are
- still in the message base, but no longer accessible. This utility will
- make them available.
-
- Simply run CLEAN from the command line. CLEAN will prompt for a room
- name, and then a list of names to 'CLEAN' from the room (in case more
- than one ruggie has attacked). Once you have typed in all names you wish
- CLEANsed from the room, CLEAN will scan through your entire message base
- for messages belonging to the named room. Those messages written by
- users you designated will not be saved in the room any longer, while
- those by users you did not name will be saved, thus recovering 'scrolled'
- messages. Those messages CLEANsed will no longer be accessible (unless
- you run CLEAN again on the same room and forget to name those users!).
-
- Perhaps sometime in the future this utility will be modified to allow
- CLEANsing an entire roombase of a user.
