EVENT is a program to let other nodes on the BBS be taken offline
during a BBS event. When the event is complete, the other nodes
will return to operation of the BBS.
This program is designed for use with Lantastic, Desqview, Windows,
or just about any network or multitasker.
If you don't use Lantastic, EVENT will create a RUNNING.DAT file
when first run. EVENT.EXE will run until a key is pressed or it
can't find the RUNNING.DAT file.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
BBS=
TIMEOUT=
NODE=
PATH=
If you don't use a network such as Lantastic, use the PATH= command
to tell EVENT where it should create it's RUNNING.DAT file. Don't
add the filename, just indicate a DRIVE and DIRECTORY. While
this file exists, EVENT will run until it times out. After your
event is complete, simply delete this file.
Examples that should be added to your nodes' EVENT batch files:
NON-LANTASTIC EXAMPLE:
EVENT BBS NAME=The Brainex System NODE=1 TIMEOUT=30 PATH=C:\GAP
LANTASTIC EXAMPLE:
EVENT BBS NAME=The Brainex System NODE=1 TIMEOUT=30
In the batch file run by the main node (the one running the BBS maintenance
events)
For Lantastic add:
NET RUN \\node id " "
to the last line of the batch file.
In the above example, if your node id was GODZILLA then command would
look like: NET RUN \\GODZILLA " "
The Net Run command will send a keypress through the network to
the EVENT.EXE program, causing it to exit.
For Non-Lantastic add:
DEL C:\GAP\RUNNING.DAT
to the last line of the batch file.
This program is SHAREWARE. If you like it, and intend to
use it on your BBS, please send $10 to:
