Here's my line that posts my "New files" for the day on my board:

smbutil ic:\Fido\tinytic\final.txt c:\sbbs\data\subs\loc-automate.shd < c:\fido\tinytic\FidoReq.HDR

So the i is what text to "include" followed by the path/filename of the board that you're going to post too, just find the SHD file in your data/subs folder.

The last file (Fidoreq.HDR) is a 3 line text file that contains who the file is "TO", who it's "From" and the "Subject".

in this case:
All
Android8675
New files have arrived!

So that posts the message, if the message is going into an echo then you'll want to call sbbsecho afterwards...

SBBSECHO -linf

...is what I use.

Cool, I was able to finally do it via command line... but doing up a fidoreq.hdr will work fine too.

I am having a problem though. I am wanting to upload a color file, not just plane text, so I made an ansi file and converted it to a synchronet asc file but when I go to read the message after I imported it it requires me to hit enter before the message is displayed... kinda like tere was a pause added to the top of the message... but this is not the case...

ideas??

Thanx

Open the CtrlA file in Notepad or some awesome text editor. At the top of the file add CtrlA-Q, that resets the pause screen line counter. You might also look and see if there's a CtrlA-P somewhere near the top of the file (Force Pause prompt), and remove it if so.

I have no idea how yer gonna enter a CtrlA in notepad, I use notepad++. Oh you can hold alt and type 001 on your keypad to type a ctrlA in windows.

When you use [at]POFF[at] do you have to do [at]PON[at] before the end of the file, or will it automatcially start resuming pauseing?

Is there a clear-screen code in the file? If so, remove it.

The BBS will automatically resume pausing (if the user has it enabled).

hi.

you are asking a lot of questions that are really answered in the
synchronet documentation. it's probably better to look there than ask a question and get a reply the next day. but i'm a very impatient person....

In ANSI terminal emulation, it's an <ESC>[2J. A form-feed (Ctrl-L) character will also perform a clear-screen. The @CLS@ or Synchronet Ctrl-AL codes will also clear the screen.
