.-------------------------. | Mystic BBS FileFix Help |--------------------------------------------------- `-------------------------' What is FileFix? ---------------- FileFix is an automated response system which provides file networked nodes the ability to "self-service" their configuration. Generally speaking, you will use FileFix to link and unlink file echo areas for export to you. How to use FileFix ------------------ Simply address the message "To" field to "FileFix" and then supply your FileFix password on the subject line for authentication. Each line of the message content should consist of a single command which instructs FileFix to do something. Each command will be processed and a result of that command will be included within a return Netmail response message which is automatically generated by FileFix after your request. FileFix Commands ---------------- %ALL [search] The ALL command will either subscribe or remove all %-ALL [search] available areas. If the optional [search] parameter is used, only bases that match the search text in the echotag or file base name will be actioned upon. The search text can be a single piece of text, or it can contain complex boolean searches. See below for more information on complex boolean searching. %HELP Return this help message %PWD Changes your AreaFix/FileFix password to new password %LIST [search] List all available file areas from this uplink. If the optional [search] is used Mystic will list areas that match the search text either in the echotag or File Base name. The search text can be a single piece of text, or it can contain complex boolean searches. See below for more information on complex boolean searching. %LINKED List all linked areas (areas being exported to you) %UNLINKED List of all unlinked areas (areas not exported to you) -ECHOTAG Remove (unlink) ECHOTAG from your list of export areas +ECHOTAG Add (link) ECHOTAG to the list of export areas. The plus symbol can also be omitted here, meaing that if a line contains ONLY an echotag, it is assumed that the request is to link the area. Complex Boolean Searching ------------------------- The %LIST and %ALL commands have the optional ability to apply searching elements to limit the results to targeting a subset of "all". This can be done with a simple text search such as "%ALL Mystic BBS" but it can also use boolean evaluation to perform complex searches by using AND, OR, NOT and parenthesis (where &=AND, |=OR, and !=NOT). For example: %LIST BBS %LIST BBS!(Telegard|Renegade) %LIST ((Linux|Unix|BSD)!Windows)|(BBS!(Telegard|Renegade)) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
