WHAT IS IT?
___________
Abort Logon Procedures v1.0 is a handy little utility for WWIV [(c)
Wayne Bell] BBS systems who have annoying logon batch files :) It will
allow the sysop to allow certain Security level users to abort the logon
procedures and go right to the board. This can be handy if you have a
very long Logon batch file, or are just annoyed as a sysop to have to
look at everything every time you logon.
INSTALLATION
____________
Installation of ALOGON v1.0 is simple. Go into your INIT program,
and make sure that you have a '%1' after your logon batch file name.
Next, edit your logon batch file to add a line for Abort Logon
Procedures like so:
ALOGON %1 <minimum sl> <seconds to wait> <color>
Where <minimum sl> is the minimum security level that a person must
have to be allowed to bypass the logon procedures, <seconds to wait> is
the amount of seconds (1-60) to wait before just assuming 'no' to the
question of abort logon procedures?, and <color> is the WWIV color number
for the question "abort logon procedures." On the next line down from that
line in your batch file, put the statement: 'IF ERRORLEVEL=1 GOTO END', and
add a line to the end of your batch file that says ':END'. This will tell
your batch file if ALOGON returns a 1, goto the line that contains ':END,'
thus skipping your batch file. Make sure that you have a copy of ALOGON.EXE
in your main BBS directory. Here are some examples of correct command
lines:
ALOGON %1 100 5 3
Print the question in WWIV color 3 (Magenta/Purple) and only allow
users with 100+ SL to abort logon batch file. It will
self-execute after 5 seconds.
ALOGON %1 255 10
Print the question in WWIV color 0 (White/Light Grey) and only
allow users with 255 SL to abort logon batch file. It will also
self-execute after 10 seconds.
Sample LOGON.BAT file:
@ECHO OFF
ALOGON %1 100 5 3 { Call Abort Logon }
IF ERRORLEVEL=1 GOTO END { If a '1' is returned, goto end }
TYPE SYSOP.MSG { Your existing batch file commands }
TYPE HIGHSCR.ANS { Your existing batch file commands }
:END { end }
