Ärende: Re: Incoming FREQs with BBBS Binkp nodes...
===================================================
Hi Jame,

Regarding the above... looking back at my logs after I posted this, it didn't
work afterall for the BBBS sysop who tested things for me here :(

Yes, other BinkD users have tried to freq here, and it fails when they come in
via binkp.

and yes, I have tested things here myself..Freqs work fine with my phone/modem
line, but they do not work at all with binkp. Did you see Fred Riccio's
messages to me in the Z1C echo?  BBBS's Binkp doesn't send the string necessary
to enable multiple-batch mode.. that's the problem.. bbbs's binkp is based on a
really early version of the binkp specs.

:(

Last night I tried to hook in sln_sf (linux/windows file request processor)
using the example in sysop.gui with the magic file.. supposedly it should work
unless I don't understand that text correctly:

===========cut here=====
                     Global: FidoNet: FREQ: Magic files

The path and file name of the file containing your "magic" file list. Magic
file list can be used to give distinctive and easy to remember names to files
that are often requested from your system, such as software your BBS supports.
The format of the magic file list is simple: every line defines one magic name
so that the first field in each line is the actual magic name. After it should
come the file names that are sent to the remote system, separated from each
other with one or more spaces.

If a file name under a magic name begins with the '@'-character, then BBBS will
execute a script with the name that comes after the
'@'-character. For example, a magic file definition line of:

update  @/bbs/scripts/update

Would run the script "/bbs/scripts/update" each time the file "update" is
requested from your system.

A magic file list could look like the following:

files    /bbs/files/bcgbox.fil
about    /bbs/bcgbox.txt
dosbbbs  /pub/bbbs/bbbs_d.zip
os2bbbs  /pub/bbbs/bbbs_2.zip
secret   @script

You can also use other RP (Request Processors) with BBBS, for example, AllFix.
This would be accomplished by putting * @allfix in this field. This tells BBBS
to execute the allfix script (BZ, REXX, Java, or Perl) each time it processes
one FREQ. It passes the filename and the transferlist as a parameter. To use
these parameters, create a BZ script like below and replace "..." with the
commands required to load AllFix or your other RP.

#include <stdlib.bzh>

int main(char freq, char tlist) {
  ...
}


==========cut here=======

So in my magic list I put this:

* @allfix
NODEDIFF /home/ftp/pub/nodediff/nodediff.a24 NODELIST
/home/ftp/pub/nodelist/nodelist.z24

and my script for allfix in /scripts looks like this:

===allfix.bz=====
#include <stdlib.bzh>

int main(char freq, char tlist) {
spawn("/home/bbbs/sln_sf/sln_sf.pl");
}

=======end allfix.bz======

Should work, but I have to see if I can get one of my downlinks to test it :)
:)

Take care,
Janis
