SM (8,0); rf prg.maint +p /p
This command line will allow you to read the PRoGram file prg.maint as an
ASCII dump to your screen, and will also simultaneously list it to your
printer.
17.10 MANUAL USER WEED PROGRAM
The program prg.weed has been added to the files. This should be set up in
the sysop utilities section of your P-files. Prg.weed is a manual user
weed system. This utility allows you to set a weed date (number of days)
and go through all your user accounts and choose ‘Yes/No’ as to delete that
user. It also takes care of killing their Email and dating accounts.
The autoweed file in automaintenance does work, but many sysops prefer to
handle the weed process manually.
- CONFIGURATION OF AUTOMAINTENANCE -
18.0 CONFIGURATION OF AUTOMAINTENANCE
Automaintenance is a very powerful C-NET feature that allows your system to
perform several maintenance functions at a specified time during the day.
Set this time from the general parameters screen of system configuration
(see section 4.3). C-NET will limit callers before this hour to insure
that automaintenance occurs at the proper time. Automaintenance must occur
each day -- so the file prg.amaint must be placed on your P-files disk or
into your RAM expander at all times. The functions that automaintenance
performs includes:
1) News file weed. If you selected for news files to be deleted
after a specified number of days when you added them, it is
automaintenance which checks the news directory and removes old
files.
(2) Message base subboard weeds. If any of your subboards have
‘inactivity day’ settings, automaintenance will search for
and remove old posts and old responses to posts from those
subboards.
(3) File transfer subboard weeds. If any of your UD subboards have
‘delete days’ settings, automaintenance will search for and
remove old files from those subboards.
Additional automaintenance features that may be enabled by using the
‘prg.utilities’ menu option to do so include:
(1) User weed. Automaintenance is able to perform a check for
users who haven’t called for a specified number of days or
more, and delete them. A starting account number and an access
coding (weed only certain groups) may also be specified.
(2) Display SAM table, with the option to reset the period column
on a specific day of the week, or every day.
(3) Display the System Activity Graph, with the option to reset the
graph to all zeros on a specific day of the week, or on every
day.
(4) Display and delete the call log.
(5) Display and delete the error log.
