1. WHAT ARE THE FILES IN A COMPLETE PACKAGE ?
----------------------------------------------
Yes, how kan you be sure you don't have a incomplete program.
Well initially is must contain the following files:
KILLUSER.EXE The only executeable.
KILLUSER.DOC The stuff you're reading at this moment.
KILLUSER.HIS Some additional document with the history.
KILLUSER.REV Additional document with systems who use
killuser.
FILES_ID.DIZ A file to merge into your filebase.
GEOBBS.ASC A logo of my BBS.
Other files are addad without my knowledge and may at all times
erased without you taking further notice of it.
2. WHAT IS THE WARRENTY I GET ?
--------------------------------
In fact not much.
It works in my own environment, which is a MS-DOS 5.00 system with
Deskview 2.42, a Lantastic 6.0 Network and RemoteAccess 2.02. This
software is ment to run during a maintenance, so no time-saving
tools are added to it.
3. WHAT ARE THE COSTS ?
------------------------
As you might have read in the File_Id.Diz, it is free for
non-commercial systems. This means not you don't have to read this
part. As non-commercial system you may skip the following paragraph.
] COMMERCIAL systems has to donate at least 10 NLG, 10 DEM, 5 ECU, 8
] USD or equivalent to my account or address. They may try this
] software, to see if it fit to their needes for over a period of 2
] weeks. After that period they must donate at least the minimum fee
] or stop using it any more. The donation will be mentioned in the
] document KILLUSER.REV. The KILLUSER package will be updated and sent
] to you via direct Netmail.
From NON-COMMERCIAL users I like to know if you use it on a regular
base. A simple routed netmail is just enough. You will be mentioned
in the KILLUSER.REV document. If you are that much thrilled about
the software, you may also donate the above mentioned COMMERCIAL
donation. In this last case a updated version of the KILLUSER
package will also be sent towards your netmail address.
Only nodes (not points or private-systems) in the same networks can
be reached by my system. Files are put on HOLD for systems that
donated money and can not be reached by me.
4. WHAT'S WRONG WITH RAUSER ?
------------------------------
Ah, this is what might draw your attation in the first place... Well
as long as you have only 1 userlevel and no user-controlled
deletion-option via a flag, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact
this software is just a simple pre-processing utility.
In my case I had to run RaUser over 4 times and still have to use an
other tool for the flag-specific deletion.
Prevously Nowadays
--------- --------
rauser -d360 -m40 killuser -d360 -x40
rauser -d270 -m20 killuser -d270 -x20
rauser -d180 -m10 killuser -d180 -x10
rauser -d90 -m5 -p -s killuser -d90 -x5
{Manual action} killuser -fa8=t
rauser -p rauser -p -s
Besides it take just as much space in your batch, each line is more
then twice as fast. Rauser automaticly updated the user-index after
the first 'mark-for-deletion'-flag. This takes more time needed to
set the deletion-flag. Ik my case, having a 1000 users, this will
take a lot of valuable maintenance time.
5. WHAT IS ITS COMMAND-SET ?
-----------------------------
Ok, perhaps you simply executed the program without any parameters.
In that case this paragraph will mainly tell you the same.
The syntax is: KILLUSER <options>
Without any <option> a small help-screen will appear.
the options are:
-Dn Delete user if he is nnn days not logged in.
| Default= 0, days are not important.
-Xn Delete user if his user-level is n or LESS.
| Default= 65535, maximum level is not important.
-Mn Delete user if his user-level is n or MORE.
| Default= 0, minimum level is not important.
| -Tn Delete user if he has called less or equal to T times.
| Default= 65535, times called is not important.
| -ALL Ignore the protected-for-deletion-flag.
| Default= skip users which are protected.
-Ffn=l Delete user if his user-flag is correctly (Default=Ignore).
f can be A, B, C or D
n can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8
l can be T or F (ie True {Set, X} or False {Reset, -})
A combination may be used. The options may be repeated invinity,
only the last valid(!) options are used. Non-captured errors may
occure if you use invalid flags or values.
Users who are marked as deleted are skipped, as well as those who
are protected for a deletion.
| The first record is always skipped, so whatever you do, KillUser will
| not delete the 'sysop'. It might be a perfect murder otherwise ;-)
As I already make clear in my previously paragraph. This software
is only a Pre-processor. You have to run RAUSER -P to erase the
deletion-marked users from the userbase.
6. HOW CAN I CONTACT THE AUTHEUR ?
-----------------------------------
To contact me, you may write me a message to one of my AKA's:
International National (Dutch as Language)
-------------- ----------------------------

9:314/102 @ virnet 132:3101/100 @ ONet
115:3106/0 @ pascalnet
206:206/6 @ disasternet

Or is you like to send me money, use the snail-mail, which has the
lowest transaction-fee outside The Netherlands.
