; MUTIL configuration file ; ————————————————————————- ; ; MUTIL is an automated maintainance and utility program driven by ; configuration files used to perform various tasks upon execution. ; ; The syntax to execute MUTIL is: MUTIL <configuration file>. If no ; configuration file is supplied, then the program will look for mutil.ini ; in the same directory. A second parameter -NOSCREEN can be used to turn ; off screen updates but the configuration file parameter MUST be supplied ; ex: mutil mutil.ini -NOSCREEN ; ; Many different configuration files can exist to perform any series of ; tasks supported by MUTIL, or a single configuration can be maintained that ; does everything. The minimum requirement is the General header with a ; task enabled, and then the specific header for that task that defines its ; options. ; ; Current abilities (enabled/disabled in the General header below): ; ; - Export Binkley-style FLO echomail/netmail ; - Import Binkley-style FLO echomail/netmail ; - Import Message Bases (by datafile analysis) ; - Import FIDONET.NA into Message bases ; - Import FILEBONE.NA into File bases ; - Mass upload files to all file bases (with FILE_ID.DIZ import and the ; ability to exclude files by filemask) ; - Generate Top 1 up to 99 Callers, Posters, Downloaders, Uploaders, PCR ; Completely configurable output by using template files ; - Import FILES.BBS into file bases ; - Generate all files listing ; - Purge Message bases (by age and max messages) ; - Pack and renumber message bases ; - Post text files to message bases ; - Merge nodelists into Mystic format ; - Toss TIC+files into BBS and to subscribed downlinks ; - Pack and check integrity of file base listings ; - Perform message base echomail reply linking ; ; The concept here is that you can create your own custom command lines to ; complete any number of tasks. For example, you could create msgmaint.ini ; which executes message base purge, packing, and reply linking. Then you ; can simply execute “mutil msgmaint” to kick it off. ;

; in order for them to be uploaded to the BBS.

; it will be unarchived before comparison.
;
; After decompressing, the 3-digit day extensions are compared, selecting

; The same process is then be repeated for agoranet.### and once all of

; copied into Mystic's DATA folder so it can be used for nodelist lookups.
