Log Message:
When executing non-native (e.g. 16-bit DOS) programs, set the PCBNODE environment variable (to the same value as SBBSNNUM) as some door games
(e.g. Bordello, by T&J Software) have support for this environment variable built into their configuration file parsing. This makes setting up multiple nodes much easier/faster, as you can re-use the same configuration file for
all of them by just specifying this environment variable in the .cfg file
(e.g. "c:\sbbs\node%PCBNODE%\door.sys"). Unfortunately, you can't use just *any* environment variable, it has to be one of the ones specifically supported by their programs (or door frame door kit?). Anyway, this simple hack can save a lot of time setting up some of these doors.
I did not do this for executing native (32-bit) programs as I'm pretty sure there was never a 32-bit version of PCBoard, so that wouldn't make much sense.

Thats excellent man, it will save a ton of time if all doorframe doors do that, I used to hate having to copy a cfg file for every node number.. just mundane as hell. I believe there are a good many games like that, even out of T&Js realm. This is why I love running linux, once I find out how to run a door under it, I can usually come up with some hack to trick it into multinode without all the headache. I guess maybe the same can be said for windows, but
I seem to have better luck with my doors under linux once I get passed the initial install.

A few years ago I wrote a little program to help save time with that, which copies the first node configuration file and changes the node number for each configuration file you have for each node.

My batch file is as such...

set WCNODEID=%1

Always worked here... :)

Naturally the drop file is set for DOOR.SYS in scfg...

Have a good day...

You know, I believe at one time, back around 2002 or so I did the same thing using QBasic, I used to actually write a lot of different little utilities that would help me manage the BBS with Qbasic (and a couple cheesy LORD igms too!)

I also wrote a door statistics stub program that would run after every instance of a door running that would keep track and make ansi/html logfiles of door stats (kinda like the doorscan app) but nowhere near as sophisticated.

Since my mind is not as abstract as others when it comes to coding, Qbasic is really right down my alley. lol.. I may actually download it again and fire it up onder DOSEmu and throw out some new LORD IGMS (This Time not as cheesy)

Would like to come up with a few IGMS for Planets also.. it is still one of my most favorite games.

Fix build for USE_DOSEMU option (which I don't use).

I'm soryy, may I ask what the issues was? I use this option along with most of the time RELEASE=1 (my latest build was yesterday) The only issues I had with dosemu was changing the DOSEMU path in sbbs.ini. For some reason /usr/bin/dosemu.bin worked fine forever and about a month or so it just stopped working (im sure you remember my emails), So I said screw might as well just try "dosemu" as the value since I could pull dosemu from my cli with no issues, and it started working.

Would this have anything to do with that issue?

No. There was a harmless warning when building withOUT USE_DOSEMU (unused variable defined) - I moved the variable definition into the block where it's used (the USE_DOSEMU stuff), but did it incorrectly which caused the build of xtrn.cpp to fail, temporarily.

Ahh ok, I'm still vexed as to why my dosemu games will not work when I put the full path and filename to dosemu.bin in sbbs.ini instead of just 'dosemu' it works so thats fine.. but its just strange that using it the 'correct' way worked for close to 2 years, then suddenly I started getting close to 50 errors daily and find that my DOS doors are not working, a lot of the errors were even errors becaus teh DOS events I had setup for processing league packets were erroring out and then backing up the other events so they would'nt run, one big huge domino effect.

I still to the day do'nt know why I have to run dosemu like that, but since I changed it, all errors have gone away and everything is running smooth.

Patch from Mark Lewis (wk42):

i've made a few adjustments to xtrn.cpp for external.bat...

- remove unneeded redirection of dosemu output.
still uses same log file name and stops zero
byte file dosemu.log from being created in node
directories.
- fix faulty "keystroke" dosemu -I command. it
didn't actually do the "\r" but sent it as
characters to the command line.
- added code for SBBS specific lredirs to be
done more cleanly like dosemu's default
autoexec.bat. only deletes redir if it exists.

His editor also appears to have removed trailling white-space from this file, which is fine.

Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv19890

Modified Files:
xtrn.cpp
Log Message:
When the passthru_thead is running, the protocol (%p) command-line specifier will now expand to "raw" rather than "telnet/rlogin/ssh". This disables IAC handling in sexpots, for example, which isn't needed or desired when using
the passthru socket.

Also, put some conditional checks for passthru_thread_running in external()
and if it's not (e.g. for testing purposes), then lock the input_thread_mutex instead of changing passthru_socket_active. This is currently just a way to easily test the differences between direct and passthru socket I/O
(dependant on whether or not the passthru_thread is running which is controlled in main.cpp.

Course I meant to say "sexyz", not "sexpots". I seem to be conflating those two
stupid program names more often latey.

Modified Files:

Log Message:
In *nix builds, change the second almost identical log "Executing external"
log message to:
- only log the message if the "full command line" is different than the
command-line argument to the external() function. I'm pretty sure that was
the reason for the addition of this log message, for debugging Linux-DOSEMU
issues where the fullcmdline != cmdline.
- change from INFO to DEBUG log level
- change the message from "executing external: " to "Executing cmd-line: "

Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv8024

Modified Files:
xtrn.cpp
Log Message:
Added 2 new environment variables dynamically-defined when launching DOS programs: PCBDRIVE (the drive letter of the current node directory) and PCBDIR (the path to the current node directory, without the drive letter).

These emulate the same variables crated by PCBoard.

The reason these are being added is that Sunrise Door Software's 16-bit doors contain special support for these environment vars when used in their .CFG files
(e.g. %PCBDIR%DOOR.SYS) and this allows easy multi-node configuration with a single .CFG file. The SBBSNODE environment varialbe would have worked perfectly fine for this purpose, but apparently Sunrise Doors (or the DoorFrame development kit they utilized) has hard-coded these PCBoard (and Wildcat!) environment variable names, so SBBSNODE wont' work for this purpose.

For Synchronet-Win32, you will need the DOSXTRN.EXE revision 25 or later
or you may experience NTVDM crashes when running external DOS programs.

Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/xtrn.cpp
Log Message:
When running 16-bit DOS commands "offline" on Windows, don't use dosxtrnWe shouldn't need a virtual UART/FOSSIL driver to execute "offline" program (e.g. timed events) in the first place, and our virtual UART/FOSSIL for Windows wouldn't work right in the scenario anyway even if it did load successfully.This resolves the reported issues with timed events configured as not "native" returning error 255 (and not running successfully) on Windows with
SBBS v3.19. I'm not even sure what changed exactly in xtrn.cpp, dosxtrn.c, and sbbexec.c between v3.18 and v3.19 that's causing this to now fail, but it (using DOSXTRN to run offline DOS programs) really shouldn't have been attempted in the first place. So that was just a design issue that happened to kind of sort of work up until v3.19.

Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/xtrn.cpp
Log Message:
When user hangs-up on external programs on *nix, try to terminate w/SIGTERMPreviously, when a user disconnected or ran out of time while running astdio-based external program on *nix, if the program was still running, we'dsend it a SIGHUP, wait up to 10 seconds for the process to terminate and ifit did not, terminate it (ungracefully) with SIGKILL. Since some programscatch SIGTERM (and not SIGHUP) to indicate a termination request, we now willfirst attempt a SIGHUP, wait up to 5 seconds for the process to terminate andif it does not, then send a SIGTERM and wait up to another 5 seconds for itto terminate and if it doesn't, then finally send it a SIGKILL (which cannotbe caught and always results in an ungraceful termination of the childprocess).This doesn't resolve any specific problem with any specific stdio-basedexternal program, but I was playing around with ESR's port of Adventure(https://gitlab.com/esr/open-adventure) and a new auto-save/restore of
gamestate and noticed that we weren't using SIGTERM for this situation, though weshould have. Most modern programs, if they catch SIGHUP at all, use it toindicate a refresh of configuration or data files, not a termination request(or indication that a user has "hung up"). So SIGTERM is more reasonable
to beexpected to be caught and initiate the graceful termination of the childprogram that we're hoping for.
