<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> [commands] &lt;options&gt;</code>
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Description.</H3>
<P>
<strong>mbmsg</strong>
is the message base utility program for mbsebbs. In order to run mbmsg you
must have started <strong>mbsed</strong>,
this is the deamon which controls all bbs activities.
<P>
The main purpose of <strong>mbmsg</strong>
is to link messages after tossing mail, and to maintain the size of the message
bases and the age of the messages. The best way to do the maintenance is to
run <strong>mbmsg</strong>
from the crontab. example:
<pre>
30 05 * * * export MBSE_ROOT=/bbs; /bbs/bin/mbmsg kill pack link -quiet
</pre>
Another purpose is to automatic post messages in message areas. Echomail and
netmail is possible.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Environment.</H3>
<P>
In order to run <strong>mbmsg</strong> you must set the global variable
<strong>$MBSE_ROOT</strong>. This variable must point to the root directory
of the bbs structure. The main configuration file <strong>config.data</strong>
must be present in the ~/etc directory.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Commands.</H3>
<P>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> link</code> Link all messages by subject ignoring
Re: in the subject lines. You should run this after tossing or scanning mail.
<p>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> kill</code> Kill messages in areas that have the
<strong>age</strong> set or the <strong>maximum</strong> messages set.
A setting of 0 is ignored. The messages are not removed from the message base,
they are only marked as deleted.
<P>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> pack</code> This command actualy removes the
messages who have the deleted flag set.
The lastread pointers are updated and the messages renumbered. After this
command there is no way you can recover your messages, except from backups.
<P>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> post &lt;to&gt; &lt;#&gt; &lt;subj&gt; &lt;file&gt; &lt;flavor&gt;
</code> This command posts a message in numbered area. If a field
consists of more then one word it must be surounded with quotes.
The <strong>to </strong> field can be "Michiel Broek" for a full name or
"Michiel_Broek@f16.n2801.z2.fidonet" for netmail addressing. Look out:
you need underscore between the firstname and lastname, no spaces.
Flavor can be one or more of the characters "c", "i", "h" or "p" to set the Crash,
Immediate, Hold or Private flags.
If no flavor is needed, use the - (minus sign) as a placeholder.
<p>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Options.</H3>
<P>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> [command] -area &lt;#&gt;</code>
Process only one area &lt;#&gt; number.
<P>
<code><strong>mbmsg</strong> [command] -quiet</code> Quiet mode,
no screen output. Use this switch if you run <strong>mbmsg</strong>
from the crontab.
