- 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.
