ONCE ONLY V1.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This very small routine is to call a set of programs that you only want to
run once a day, as many programs and utilities don't give you this option,
such as a checkdisk program, such as NDD and CHKDSK, and anti-virus scanners.
Also this version can run programs on the 1st, 7th, 13th, 19th and 25th of
the month. Once Only!!!
How To Use
~~~~~~~~~~
Place in your root directory the following files:
ONCEONLY.COM The main program
ONCEONLY.DAT A very small data routine
ONCEONLY.BAT Your batchfile of commands for once a day
ONCEVIR.BAT Your batchfile of commands for once every 6 days
Edit ONCEONLY.BAT and ONCEVIR.BAT with your favourite text editor, and put in
it all the commands to be run as seperate lines, as in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT, and put in a suitable location the command:
onceonly.com
Save and exit, and then re-boot your computer. The banner screen should come
up, and run the programs. Re-boot again, and the programs SHOULDN'T run.
If you loose your ONCEONLY.DAT file a new one will be created.
History
~~~~~~~
OnceOnly V1.1 The first release of this very small routine. No fancy
gimmicks, just a bare-bones program. This text file is
bigger than the programs.....
OnceVir V1.2 The first release of a seperate once a week program. Calls
routines on the 1st, 7th, 13th, 19th and 25th of the month.
OnceOnly V1.1m Small bug fix routine installed
OnceVir V1.2m Small bug fix routine installed
OnceOnly V1.3 Combines the OnceOnly and OnceVir routines in a single
program for easier use.
Legal Stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~
This very small routine is released as FREEWARE. This means that I am
releasing the program to be used freely by anyone, without charge, as long
as no changes are made to the program. I retain the copyright of the program.
The program may also be given to anyone, as long as all the files - including
this one - are included. It may be distributed by any method, except by
shareware librarys that charge per program, rather than per disc of programs.
It may be freely distributed on the INTERNET at any location. "The program is
supplied as is, and I accept no responsibility for any damage, direct or
consequential, however caused by this program."
If you use the program, please send me a picture postcard. Any problems, also
contact me.
Viruses
~~~~~~~
This program was scanned by most major anti-virus packages prior to zipping.
This was done to make sure that the program had no viruses, and also didn't
cause any false positives. This second point is very important, as this
program is designed to run Virus Scanners as its main aim, and so I don't
want it itself to cause any false positives (where a scanner wrongly says
a file has a virus in it). The scanners tested include Dr Solomon,
F-Prot 2.08a, Scan v106, NAVScan, and AVPro.
If you have the McAfee program Validate (comes with Scan, Clean &c) then the
validate value for the .COM file is as follows. If the values differ to these
*DON'T* use them:
