Short: Scripts to 'GUIfy' SFSCheck error reporting.
Author: Glen Shannon <glen@dryad.clara.net>
Uploader: Glen Shannon <glen@dryad.clara.net>
Type: util/batch
Requires: disk/misc/sfs_beta (or the finished version when it arrives :)
Requires: Workbench 3.0+ (although I'm not too certain)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a collection of short scripts and associated icons which
do nothing more, nothing less than automate checking of SFS drives
for errors. Now you can safely forget about manually checking your
SFS drives every time you switch on :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#?ware:
It's visitware and guestbookware (not that I would TRY to charge for them
and crippleware would be pointless). :) This means that using these
scripts requires nothing more than visiting my homepage and signing my
guestbook at http://www.dryad.clara.net :) It would also be good if you
decided to follow my links about autism and AutiRing, but that's optional.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
There's no installer script. I assume that anybody proficient enough to
install an alternative filesystem can certainly manually move files and
edit the s:startup-sequence.
To install, copy CLONE (from this hierarchy) s/TestSFS_DH? to S: and also
copy CLONE WBStartup/TestSFS_results_DH?.info (where ? of course
represents your SFS drive(s). You will need to install one for every SFS
drive. You MUST copy the icons, otherwise the scripts generated for
WBStartup will not execute.
I've only done scripts and icons for DH0: to DH7: If you have more DH?:
drives, or if your drives are called SFS?: or HD?: or something, you'll
have to edit the script(s) and rename the icon(s) yourself. Sorry, but
it isn't difficult.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
This also requires further installation. All you need to do is type the
following into your s:startup-sequence;
S:TestSFS_DH?
...for every SFS drive you have. This must be placed after your SFS
drives are mounted and after T: is assigned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did I upload this ?:
Because I have had to write hundreds of tiny little scripts in the past
to execute admittedly simple functions. I would prefer to have been lazy
and just downloaded something ready-made. Anyway, this script is slightly
more complex than most of my other ones (this script generates a second
script), so it might be a little advanced of beginners writing AmigaDOS
scripts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
This script uses Requestchoice and Multiview. Requestchoice is
neccessary but calls to Multiview can be easily replaced with eg,
muchmore or textview. If I recall, that would mean this script can
only work on WB3.0 and above. Please correct me if I am wrong.
