Usage:
NodeSwitcher 1.0 does support up to 10 Telefinder NodeServer applications. All NodeServer application must run on the same machine, if not, NodeSwitcher can not find them. NodeSwitcher REQUIRES Version 3.0.2 or newer of NodeServer! NodeSwitcher is very easy to use. You have 10 configuration entries (0....9) you can use. Each of them opens a dialogbox where you can put:
Nodename:
This string MUST match the NodeServers BBS Line name (you configure it under the options menu with BBS Node Options). NodeSwitcher uses it to distinguish the different NodeServers.
Enable:
This checkbox disables or enables the specific configuration enty. If you disable it, NodeSwitcher will never stop or start that node.

Automatic Start:
If you check this box, it will put the specified NodeServer online at the indicated time.
