Hello everybody!

I had it working once, alas I have broke it. How do I get binkd to run
a batch after mail reception. I have this in my config.

exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat" c:\\in\\*.pkt
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
C:\\in\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
c:\\in\\unsecure\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]

Hi Allen!

31 Oct 2016 21:34, from Allen Prunty -> All:

exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat" c:\\in\\*.pkt
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
C:\\in\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
c:\\in\\unsecure\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]

No need to add the inbound dir.
Binkd does that for you.

CU, Ricsi

Hello Richard!

exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat" c:\\in\\*.pkt
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
C:\\in\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]
exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
c:\\in\\unsecure\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]

No need to add the inbound dir.

No need, but you can run different tossers for different inbounds.

For example:

exec "c:\\binkd\\toss1.bat" c:\\in1\\*
exec "c:\\binkd\\toss2.bat" c:\\in2\\*

exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"

exec !@"c:\\binkd\\toss.bat"
c:\\in\\unsecure\\????????.[mwtfs][oehrau][0-9a-zA-Z]

Mine is set up like this for Linux:

exec "/sbbs/exec/sbbsecho /sbbs/ctrl/sbbsecho.ini" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.pkt *.PKT
exec "/sbbs/exec/ticin.sh" *.tic *.TIC


I don't think you need the full path/filename with complicated regex unless you're expecting other files to get dumped in there. Also, I don't think you need "!@"


From the manual:

*****
Exec

Purpose: run an external program when a file satisfying the wildcards is received. The "*S" macro in commandline is substituted with Standard Request Information File, see !srif.txt for more details. This allows you to run an external file request processor (besides zillions of other possibilities).

Syntax:

exec <commandline> <filemask>
Examples:

exec "my-freq-processor.exe /options *S" *.req
exec "my-pkt-unpacker.exe /options *S" *.pkt

*****

So, it looks like you could re-write what you have to:

exec "c:\\binkd\\toss.bat" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.pkt

If you receive 100 .pkt's you want to run tosser 100 times. Why?

They are not "requirements", but only options. "!" will run that exec line after /every/ .pkt that arrives. You don't want that. You want that exec line to run after all packets/files are recieved from the current connection. Removing the "!" will do that. "@" I have honestly never seen used, and you probably don't want a new window to be opened every time this happens, as it should run in the background. So you can safely omit both of those and you should see a faster/smoother process.

Regards,
Nick

no it doesn't... i run binkd the exact same way on my OS/2, linux and winwhatever boxen...

from what I am reading th !@ tells it to ! Execute immediately and @

you don't need to execute your toss script immediately after each file is received... think about this for a second... if you receive four PKTs, and you use the ! you're telling binkd to fire your toss script four times... why? you really don't need to do that... just have binkd fire the toss once after that one mail session is complete and let it toss all four PKTs at once... the thing
about @ is personal preference but i've never used it... i want to see the evidence of the tossing being done... that's how i know that things are still working properly...

When I was/had BinkD running under Linux I used the following commandline to toss incoming:
exec "/home/bbbs/mailin.sh" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.tic *.pkt

Windows has a few more requirements from what I am reading th !@

Why would you want to execute your mail/file processor after the reception of each file? I sometimes receive 20-30 files (.pkt/.tic) per mail session. The mail/file processor is called once per transfer session.

Easy solution... just create a semaphore.... poof!

that's actually what i do on my main system with the script executed only at specific times plus the script has a check in it so that it doesn't execute more than once... yes, it does this by creating a ""running"" semaphore ;)
