  • exec/postmsg.js

    From rswindell@VERT to CVS commit on Mon Nov 6 19:18:27 2017
    exec postmsg.js NONE 1.1
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv6126

    Added Files:
    postmsg.js
    Log Message:
    New script (e.g. to be used with JSexec) for the purpose of automated posting to message sub-boards - a preferred alternative to using "smbutil i".
    The script closely mimics smbutil with an important distinction: To import a file for the message body text, use the '-i<filename>' option. Otherwise, stdin will be read for the message body.
    Like smbutil, if the -t, -f, -s, or -d options aren't specified, one or more required header values (to, from, subject) may be prompted for.

    The main advantage here is that JSexec knows enough detail about the system configuration to generate valid/unique Message-IDs for the newly created messages (unlike smbutil). Message-IDs are critical for message tracing and dupe-detection on networked message subs. Please use this script to post
    (in lieu of smbutil) automated messages to networked subs.

    Modified Files:

    exec postmsg.js 1.4 1.5
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv23286

    Modified Files:
    postmsg.js
    Log Message:
    Fix bug introduced in previous commit as reported by Nelgin:
    to and from extension header fields were being set (for the mail base) even when the to or from name was not a valid local user name (thus an extension value of "0" was being stored in the header) - causing netmail imported with postmsg.js to never get exported.

    exec postmsg.js 1.5 1.6
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/home/rswindell/sbbs/exec

    Modified Files:
    postmsg.js
    Log Message:
    Don't set the to_ext field if there's a destination netmail address
    specified on the command-line (-n option). This also would have fixed
    Nelgin's issue with this script.

    The system's configured time zone is always used however.
