  • ctrl/jsexec.ini

    From rswindell to CVS commit on Monday, May 04, 2020 15:05:16
    ctrl jsexec.ini NONE 1.1
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/ctrl
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv19129

    Added Files:
    jsexec.ini
    Log Message:
    Move expected location of jsexec.ini from exec directory to ctrl directory:
    - argv[0] does not always contain the full path to the executable, so that is
    not a good way to locate the exec directory.
    - since we already need to know the ctrl dir and that is the normal place to
    put config files, that's where it shall be.
    - jsdoor builds don't get a .ini file - I don't think they need it (?)

    For anyone who actually reads these...if you cvs update then you'll lose
    your jsexec.ini file, since it's gone from /sbbs/exec in CVS, it'll get deleted. You can move it to /sbbs/ctrl before doing a cvs update to preserve it. I don't think most people use it anyway so it's not likely to be missed, but just in case. Thanks to Mark Lewis for helping me figure this out.

    I don't think I'm using this file..., but would it make good sense
    to just (preemptively) move it to /sbbs/ctrl (now)? Would that
    break anything between now and the next CVS update? Thanks for
    info.

    don't move it... copy it... then the cvs update will remove the original copy...

    If you didn't create or modify the file yourself, just leave well enough alone. You don't need it.

    Ahhh, yes. Okay, thanks and will do that.

    DM said that most people are probably not using it so won't make much difference but there's no reason why you can't just make a copy and when you next do a cvs update then it'll still be in ctrl. I just grabbed a copy from my backup but you can always get a new copy from cvs if it's needed so it's no biggie really.
