HMHouse
Hmhouse is the main housework program for Harmony BBS. Using
command line parameters, you can automate certain details of your
BBS. To run Hmhouse, make sure that you are in your BBS
directory (where Hmhouse.exe should be located).
Hmhouse will accept a number of different command line
parameters, depending on which ones you wish to use, and the
speed of your computer system, Hmhouse can take anywhere from 5
seconds to 15 minutes to run.
Hmhouse accepts the following command line switches
(note that you should only use 1 command line switch everytime HMHOUSE
is executed):
Switch Action
====== =========================================================
F Rescan file transfer bases. This switch will cause
Hmhouse to scan through all of the file bases and
make sure all of the file statistics and indexing
are in order. It will also make sure the amount of
space being used is correct. Since each file base
holds a wealth of information, it may be possible
for some of these statistics to become incorrect. By
invoking a file base rescan daily, these statistics are
more likely to stay accurate. Another thing that this
parameter will do is automatically validate files that
are have not yet been validated, and have met the auto-
validation requirements. Hmhouse will NOT scan floppy
based file bases.
O This switch will cause a quick scan of all the file
bases. HMhouse will make sure all files listed in
Harmony's indexes exist. If any of the files are
off-line (not in the file base's directory), Hmhouse
will erase the statistics on them. You should NOT use
this switch if you are keeping a directory of OFF-LINE
files. Also, again, Hmhouse will NOT scan floppy bases.
K This command takes 2 parameters. It should be used in
the form -K### FILENAME.EXT. ### Represents the file
base number, and FILENAME.EXT is the file. When this
command is executed, it will erase the statistics on
this file from this base. It will be used mainly in
conjunction will virus scanners.
M This switch will scan through all of your message bases.
It simply searches each message base for the active number of
messages and lets Harmony BBS know about it. This command
should be executed whenever a network import/export of messages
has been executed.
S This switch will scan all the current file bases and sort the
file lists into alphabetical order.
Examples :
Here are a few examples and explanations for use with hmhouse ...
C:\HM>hmhouse -f
This would tell hmhouse to update all your file transfer bases.
C:\HM>hmhouse -m
This would tell hmhouse to do a full scan/message mark/purge of
the message bases.
C:\HM>hmhouse -n
If the file NODES.HMY is not found, this would create it.
