ON-CALL SOFTWARE PRESENTS
THE ENFORCER!
BY
Joe Hardage
The CatHouse BBS
(502) 895-5920
Price: $10 bucks WELL SPENT....READ ON AND SEE!!
Way back when I was foolish and tried to both run a BBS and be a
mail hub, I used to hate it when a user was online taking up time that
should have been open for a calling node. Now that I am but a mere calling
node, I hate it when some schmuck is up at 3 a.m. hogging the HUB BBS with a
download while my Mail Software is tying up MY bbs trying to logon to that
Hub for mail! So I wrote this quick and dirty Utility that is specific for
Wildcat 3.6 since it now has Login1.bat and Login2.bat which is perfect for
this kind of Utility!
WHAT IT DOES: Enforcer checks the callers security level against a few
security levels that you provide in your sysop.cfg file. If the caller
does not match then he or she is sent a nice Ansi screen explaining that
your BBS is now allowing only NetMail runs. You can edit the Ansi and Asc
screens to reflect the times you are allowing only netmail users to log on.
When they are sent the screen, they are automatically logged off of your
BBS. However, if they MATCH then nothing is displayed and there is just
a small pause while the door unloads itself.
This should allow automated mail runs to proceed very smoothly and give
your calling nodes a much better chance of connecting to your board for
the mail.
SETUP: Simple, just edit the enclosed config files to suit your needs.
Now you need to edit 3 batch files to make it work!
#1 Enforcer.bat COPY FORCEON.BAT LOGIN1.BAT
#2 FORCEON.BAT CD\WC30
ENFORCER ENFORCER.CFG
#3 FORCEOFF.BAT CD\WC30
DEL LOGIN1.BAT
Now put all the enforcer files in the archive along with the batch files
above into your Wildcat Home Directory.
Then go into the Sysop Menu and Edit your events! Make Enforcer.bat
a HARD event that executes just prior to when your nodes start calling! This
will force any callers who manage to connect just prior to Enforcer being
active to be logged off by the board! Then add Forceoff.bat as another
event that executes AS A SOFT EVENT! when you think all the
nodes should be done and you are ready to let the regular callers back on!
Hope this works for you!
USES: Can be used to stop people from screwing up your mail runs and to
reward paying users with special times when only THEY can log on!
REGISTERED FEATURES: Reads all 3 security levels and displays either the
included ansi & ascii screens or you can edit them to suit! Only
$10.00 for this very USEFUL Door! Similar to PCBlimit found on
Pcboard BBS's! Wildcat 3.6 Specific!
