- Introduction
- ============
-
- This program allows you to automatically delete all users who have not called
- for at least a certain number of days, who have a security level no higher
- than a specified level.
-
-
- Operation
- =========
-
- Ensure that you are in the VBBS DATA directory where the USERFILE.DAT resides,
- then run the RIDDANCE.EXE program.
-
- The program can be run in interactive mode, where you must input the number of
- days and the maximum security level, and must confirm the deletion of each
- user, by just running the RIDDANCE.EXE program.
-
- Alternatively, it may be run in batch mode, for example as an overnight event,
- by specifying the following command-line switches:
-
- RIDDANCE /BATCH /NOTCALLED=### /MAXSECURITY=###
-
- Where notcalled specified the number of days and maxsecurity specifies the
- security level.
-
- The program will report those users who matched the criteria and if they were
- deleted or not in the RIDDANCE.TXT file.
