- Switch and Nite-Switch
-
-
- Switch is a utility that should be run in the $$LOGOFF.BAT file to ensure
- that all users names are written as thier real names and security levels.
- This needs to be accomplished only when a user logs off the BBS while using
- his alias name.
-
-
- If you prefer not to run the $$logoff.bat file, then you will need to run
- NITE-SW.EXE in your event sys file to change all names back at one time. If
- you run nite-sw.exe all nodes must be down before running. Between Switch and
- Nite-SW (NightSwitch) you should be able to pick whichever program suits your
- needs best.
-
-
- ! IMPORTANT !
-
- RNBB SUGGESTS THAT YOU RUN SWITCH IN THE $$LOGOFF.BAT FILE SINCE THIS
- GUARANTEES THAT THE USER WILL BE SWITCHED BACK IMMEDIATELY. A sample
- $$logoff.bat file is included.
-
-
- (DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM ANY USER FILE OPERATIONS SUCH AS SORTING WITHOUT
- FIRST RUNNING SWITCH or NITE-SW).
-
- If you sort or update your users file in an event make sure you have been
- running switch first or run NITE-SW before doing so. Its that simple.
-
- While running switch, If you have sorted your users file first and switch
- or NITE-SW does not find the appropriate name in the PCBNDX file, you will
- be notified and no action takes place on that name.
-
- SWITCH.EXE ----------------------------------------
-
- Switch is very easy to use. Switch must be run from the $$logoff.bat file
-
- To begin, Place the Switch.exe file in your INCOGNITO Directory. The command
- to run switch is SWITCH and the complete path to your PCBOARD.DAT file and
- PCBOARD.SYS FILE FOR THAT NODE. (We suggest using the %PCB% variables.
- Switch must be in the same directory as your INC.CNF file.
-
- Sample Batchfile method
-
- $$LOGOFF.BAT
-
- CD C:\PCB\DOORS\INC
- SWITCH %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\PCBOARD.DAT %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\PCBOARD.SYS
- %PCBDRIVE
- CD %PCBDIR%
-
- Switch will locate the user that logged off the system using thier alias
- name and change thier Name back to thier real name, Change thier Security level
- back to thier Previous level, and switch thier conference back to conference 0.

-
- NITE-SW (NITESWITCH) ------------------------------------------------
-
- Nite-SW is the same program as switch however it may only be run in your nitely
- event when all nodes are down. Nite-SW will take everyuser that is in the INC
- users file and switch them back to thier REAL names and security levels.
-
- Nite-SW does not check to see if users are online, that is why it is run in
- the event sys file. Switch does online checking before switching the user back
- to thier real name (Switch must be run in the $$logoff.bat file).
-
- To begin, Place the Nite-SW.exe file in your INCOGNITO Directory. The command
- to run switch is Nite-SW and the complete path to your PCBOARD.DAT file. (We
- suggest using the %PCB% variables. Switch must be in the same directory as
- your INC.CNF file.
-
- Sample Batchfile method
-
- EVENT.SYS
-
- CD C:\PCB\DOORS\INC
- SWITCH %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%\PCBOARD.DAT
- %PCBDRIVE
- CD %PCBDIR%
-
- Nite-SW will locate the users that logged off the system using thier alias
- name and change thier Name back to thier real name, Change thier Security level
- back to thier Previous level, and switch thier conference back to conference 0.
