* EleBBS Support List

Under linux I use a combination of cron jobs to handle all this.  I
have a script that will start sending messages to the logged in user
as midnight approaches. When time hits zero, It will kill any running
BBS processes, it will also shutdown xinetd (which handles telnet
connections) to prevent new logins.  During this time, the cron
manager launches any external programs needed for doors,  restarts
various background services (such as the AI aliens in Tradewars)  runs
a complete backup of the bbs to second hard drive, cleans up any
personal user data, searches personal save files, and config files for
local games, deletes old players, users data, then finally restarts
xinetd and the bbs is ready for incoming connections. Typically this
takes 2 minutes on my system. After the backup is made to the second
hard drive, I have 2 more backups that run, One off-site and one to
tape. These run while the bbs is running.

unfortunately in Linux you don't have a WFC screen because each
connection is virtual and spawned only at connection time.
