Short: Keeps AmiTCP & servers online for you Author: vancej@kiimbal.dyn.ml.org (Jim Vance) Uploader: vancej kiimbal dyn ml org (Jim Vance) Type: comm/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos PURPOSE: This program is intended to help those of us trying to run servers on our Amiga computers. I ran into the problem of trying to keep my computer online when I wasn't physically in front of (it does get boring just sitting there sometimes... really). So I decided to write a program to take care of the mundane task for me. IDEA: The idea of this program was to keep my computer online, along with the task of helping me figure out which port was causing crashes. I called it "Movelog" because it was originally intended to move the amitcp.log file to a more permanent storage location, so that when my computer would crash, I would have a log to look at and see which program was the faulty one. Once I got the program to do that, I decided that it could examine each line in the file for the signal that the modem was offline and reset it. I will probably add a config file to allow users to determine what they want to watch for along with a command to be executed when the line is found. REQUIREMENTS: any AmiTCP version that uses the file "t:amitcp.log" any Amiga computer that is running AmiTCP. a knowledge of your commands that you use to bring your computer online and take it offline again. The programs used by Movelog internally are: askhost (to keep the link active by requesting data across the link every 25 minutes) copy (to copy needed commands to T: so that it doesn't need to access the hard drive during run-time) status (to check for another copy of itself running) say (pretty much only if you have the "realms" MUD running on the default port of 4563, AND you have logging turned ON in your inet.access file) delete (to clean up any files it moved to T: during the run)
