Info
This tool is designed to help sysops who don't have much time for
running a bbs (for example if they are in the army or s.th. like
that) but don't want to close it.It does many jobs a sysop
normally has to do on his own like automatically deleting old
files,styling your filelists,removing unwanted comments from
the filelist...it works with multinode boards as well and runs
only if an upload was made.For a short description of the abilities
reed the overview below and for a detailed description of the commands
and how to use them read the config.file "freedir.cfg"
SKIPLIST: You can create a textfile in which you include comments
you don't want to have in your filelist for example if
a user always writes "call my bbs at XXX" or s.th. like
that and these comments are removed from the filelist
STYLE: You can make your filelist look better like joining
uploads which belong to the same program together
(if they were sent by the same user) so you don't
have the "sent by..." after every file but only once
after the whole upload...you can also add a line after
each upload for example "--------..." or a blank line
or anything you like (but the first letter must be a
space) and you can change the "sent by XXX" to anything
you want,like "[ USER ]".
WARNING !!! If the "sent-by"-option is turned
off in the amiex-config this option doesn't
work.
DAYSHIFTER: Adds a comment (2 lines) between the days like
" ________ _________ "
"(________) 24 DEC 1992 (_________)"
You can make your own comment of course in the
configfile.The date will be added automatically
to the second line.
AUTODELETE: WARNING !!! If the "sent by"-option is turned
off in the amiex-config the files that were
deleted will not be added to the oldfilelist.
You can set a minimum of free storage in
MB that must be available alltogether
on your drives (the tool checks all drives
that start with DHX) and if the free storage
falls below that the tool starts deleting
files (you can select if it deletes all files
of one day or one week),removes the descriptions
from the filelist and adds them to the oldfile-
list if you want.You can also overwrite the bytes
with another text like "OFFLINE" or "DELETED".
