Autostop 1.0 Batch Utility.
Public Domain software.
This utility is very simple and easy to use. Its basic function
is to provide a option in batch files. It was mainly designed
for BBS programs that run automatically on startup. It will give you
10 sec. to hit ESC at which time it will generate a error level of 2
and drop back to batch file. It will then move to another section
of the batch file. ex. follows:
Original:
<Main Batch file>
RunBBS <<<BBS execute command
In order to stop it, you had it hit ctrl-c and press y.
Autostop:
<Main Batch file>
Autostop \ stops and waits for 10 sec. so you can press
if errorlevel 2 goto other / ESC if you want.
RunBBS
:other
<Rest of optional batch file>
If you do not press escape it will continue running the batch file
as if nothing had happened.
If you want Autostop to automatically modify your batch file, enter
AutoExec MODIFY (all caps) and it will modify the batch file of you choice.
(The batch file cannot have any BLANK lines at the end of the file).
If you wish to customize how it works simply add the 2 statements
(as shown above) before the command to be Paused, and put in the label
somewhere in the batch file with the rest of it. This may be confusing,
but once you try it, it should fall into place.
If you really enjoy the program we ask that you send a small donation
to the Force Development Company. All programs released by FDC are written
by students still in High School. All funds will go to furthur the develop-
ment of software and will go only to students. All software is PD and this
only a request. Thank you for your support.
