Hello There,

Note: Moving subject from Email to here.

I have been looking for a Linux based utility to manage or at least access the bbbsuser.dat file. The file that contains all the BBBS user data. With help from Janis and Rudi I have searched and have found several util's that can access the BBBS userfile. But, those third-party util's are either DOS or Windows based.

With a suggestion and assistance from the BBBS author I have decided to write a BZ script that will accomplish the necessary task(s). Currently the access to view and manage the BBBS user's data is only available via a telnet sysop login.

Hello Jeff,

With a suggestion and assistance from the BBBS author I have decided to write
a BZ script that will accomplish the necessary task(s). Currently the access to view and manage the BBBS user's data is only available via a telnet sysop login.

A BZ script would work across platforms so I think that's the right direction.

I have been thinking of creating an auto message for BBBS using a BZ script so I may (I will be) be looking for pointers. I should note that I am not a programmer!

So far I have the auto message displaying on the BBS.

Now I need to work out the BZ script so users can change the auto message.. :)
