FREEDIR DOC V 1.0 ================= Freedir is a Amiexpress utility running on 1.x and 2.x and Kick 2.0 or higher only To Install this Utility read the install.txt of the archiv carefully ! You must have some commands in your c dir: Wait Delete 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".
