- MULTI-SCRIPT v1.00
- by John Wright
- A Telix utility that executes many scripts from one.
-
-
- Multi-Script is a useful utility that will allow you to
- run multiple scripts during some time event. This program is
- especially useful for SysOps who need to execute more than one
- script during their daily event, or for those Telix users who
- would like to auto-logon several BBSs. This program goes hand-in-
- hand with another program by the same author, Auto-Run. Auto-Run
- allows the Telix user to auto-execute a script at a certain time
- of day. When used together, you could initiate your scripts at
- a certain time of day or night, and then run multiple scripts,
- enabling you to logon several BBS's or hosts automatically.
-
- Multi-Script was written entirely in SALT, Telix's powerful
- script language. Special thanks go to Colin Sampaleanu, author of Telix
- and the SALT language. Telix is a registered copyright of:

- Multi-Script was written as Share-Ware, meaning that a
- registration fee must be sent to the author if this program is to
- be used after a 10-day trial period. Registration of programs such
- as these guarantees the continued willingness of software authors
- to make available to the public, useful low-cost programs. Type
- "register" to print a registration form for this program.
-
- The following files should have been present in the original
- archive file:
- multiscr.bat - A batch file that initiates Multi-Script.
- multiscr.slc - Telix script file with actual program.
- multiscr.doc - The manual you are reading.
- scripts.dat - A data file of the scripts to be run.
- register.txt - The registration form for Multi-Script.
- register.bat - A batch file to print registration form.
- bbs.txt - A descriptive text file to be uploaded
- as an info message about this program.
-
- * A QUICK DEMONSTRATION: Place all files in your Telix directory.
- Use a text editor such as EDLIN or Qedit to modify "scripts.dat".
- Just replace the example script names with the names of the scripts
- you wish to run, placing one on each line. Then Type "Multiscr"
- and the program will begin.
-
- * To run Multi-Script during an event, simply edit the "scripts.dat"
- file, replacing the examples with your own script names. Then have
- your event batch file call "multiscr.bat". Multi-Script will take it
- from there, and return you to your event batch file when finished.
-
- * To run Multi-Script in conjunction with Auto-Run, follow the
- instructions above except do not type "multiscr". Then, run Auto-Run
- and enter Multiscr.slc for the script to be executed automatically.
-
- Special Note: If you want to determine if all of your scripts have
- executed successfully, you may do so. Multi-Script records all of
- it's usage information in a file called "multiscr.log". This file is
- created automatically the first time Multi-Script is run. Multi-Script
- also returns an error-level to the originating batch file that tells
- how many scripts were executed successfully. i.e. errorlevel == 5
- if 5 scripts were run successfully. Remember to use the dos "call"
- command when running Multi-Script from another batch file, or the
- errorlevel will not be returned to your originating batch file. If
- using Auto-Run to call this program, the errorlevel will be returned
- to the Auto-Run batch file (auto-run.bat).
-
- Look for the author's other software programs at your favorite
- BBS or at the BBS listed below:
- Colortel.zip - A Telix macro key program that allows the entry
- of ANSI color in all of your messages. Draw
- sharp boxes and borders - all in color!
- Auto-Run.zip - Allows the automatic execution of any Telix script
- at a certain time designated by the program user.
- Also will execute the script continuously (every
- day) at the time of day set by the user.
