* EleBBS Support List

Here is the script that I use to manage doors, in dosbox, linux, and
multi bbs doors.

#VARIABLES REQUIRED TO BE PASSED
#execute.sh NODE% USER% EXECUTE% MODE%
# NODE = BBS NODE Number If not needed place a '1' here
# USER = USER, this is the full account name on BBS. Used in handling
home directory and drop file creation. USE *F*L IN ELEBBS TO AVOID
DUPLICATE FIRST NAME ACCOUNTS
# EXECUTE = Bash script to execute after script converts users. OR
DOSLAUNCH Variable to pass onto emulator
# MODE = What mode to operate in. Valid modes
#	NATIVE = No special changes needed. Linux file may be launched
without specifying home
#	HOMDIR = Creates, manages and uses virtual home directory
#	TARDIR = Same as HOMDIR, only stores files in compress tarball,
Usefull for large homedir's
#	DOSEMU = Pass and launch clasic dos application.
#	DOSSRV = Pass and launch clasic dos application as background
service (tradeware alien AI engine).
#	DOSDUM = Pass and launch in dumb terminal dos. (linux shell remains
loaded while dos executes in background)
#	DOSPAS = Pass and launch in dos. (no door,node, user info is passed)
All scripts and batch files much be handled internaly in dosemu,
example would be to run nightly events like tradewars extern

example script to load zork1 userhome. each user can have their own
saved files in zork.

ele menu script:
"/home/bbs/dos_scripts/execute.sh *N *F*L zork1.sh HOMDIR"
/home/bbs/dos_scripts/execute.sh is the location and executer that
runs all doors/apps/events
*N tells elebbs to pass the bbs node to the execute scripts
*F*L tell elebbs to pass the first and last name to script (with no
spaces, you may wish to pass handle instead if you user handles) Avoid
using just *F this will confuse home directorys, Chris Anthony and
Chris Markus will get the SAME user folder. which is bad
zork1.sh is the executeable script to call to launch actuall program
HOMDIR (yes this always has to be in UPPERCASE) tell script what mode it's in

zork1.sh example script
------------------------
#!/bin/bash
/usr/games/bin/frotz /home/bbs/shared/ZORK1.DAT


---------------
end zork example



example to pass user off to multi-BBS telnet game.

5 kingdoms example.  All node/user/password/etc are handled directly
by the party we connect to. However we pass the information to script
because it requires all infomation to parse accounts if needed.

ele menu command:
"/home/bbs/dos_scripts/execute.sh *N *F*L 5king.sh NATIVE"
same as above, however this time we use NATIVE. This tells script to
skip processing home directories or bbs drop files,

example scripts
5king.sh
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
plink -telnet -P 2411 mercator.mudhaven.com

-------------------
end example
Note I use plink as a telnet client. This is a slightly better version
of telnet. you can get plink from the putty home page.  or simply
replace plink -telnet  with telnet.


DOS scripts are stored in your emulated C: drive.
you will need a fairly complecated autoexec.bat.  I will paste mine
here for example

autoexec.bat
----------------------------


{at}echo off
cls

path c:\bin;c:\gnu;c:\dosemu
set HELPPATH=c:\help
set TEMP=c:\tmp
rem set BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T6
prompt $P$G
unix -s DOSDRIVE_D
if "%DOSDRIVE_D%" == "" goto nodrived
lredir d: linux\fs%DOSDRIVE_D%
:nodrived
unix -e
call lovar.bat
fossil
set
rem Rebuild config files to dos LFCR this is a cheap way to fix
carrage return problems with rem the way elebbs writes its drop files
in linux
cd\node%node%\
cat door.sys > door.tmp
cat dorinfo1.def > dorinfo1.tmp
cat door32.sys > door32.tmp
copy door.tmp door.sys /y
copy dorinfo1.tmp dorinfo1.def /y
copy door32.tmp door32.sys /y
cd\
rem files are now formated correctly

I know this email looks massivly complex, and it does take some
getting used to.  There is so many variables and differences/quirks in
running doors from different platforms in same bbs envionment. this
script set helps keep them all consistent. And allows for quick and
easy changes to programs.


Programs you must have for scripts to work
linux
elebbs .9 or higher
bash compatable shell running
dosemu

goodluck
