This display also shows what the user is currently doing on the system. ==== Status Messages ==== The display of all active nodes has a Status column. This column displays a brief description of what the user is currently doing online. A list of status messages follows: * Auto Logoff Pending * Available for CHAT * CHAT Request Sent * CHATTING with Group * DOS Recycle Pending * Dropt to DOS Pending * Drop to DOS - Urgent * Logging into System * No Caller this Node * Out of Code in DOOR * Paging the Sysop * Run/Answer Script * Running Event * Transferring a File * Unavailable for CHAT As you can see, you can obtain a significant amount of detail about what each user is doing online from executing the 11 command. ==== Additional Information ==== Since the 11 command is a SysOp command, you will also have additional information available to you. The following shows the status messages that will show additional information when you use this command: ==== Transferring a File ==== When a user is transferring a file, PCBoard will display as much information as it can. Internal protocols, by their very nature, update after each file. If PCBoard knows enough about the file transfer, it will display if a transfer is an (U)pload or a (D)ownload, the filename that is being transferred, the protocol letter used, the size of the file being transferred, and finally the estimated time of transfer. The line underneath the user's name may resemble the following: (D) PCBMULT.ZIP (G) 44,573 - 0.6 This tells you that the user is downloading a file called PCBMULT.ZIP using protocol letter G and that the file is 44,573 bytes which will take approximately .6 minutes or about 36 seconds to transfer. (U) TESTSLC.ZIP (G) 141,042 - 1.6 This entry shows that the user is uploading a file called TESTSLC.ZIP using protocol letter G. The size of the file is 141,042 bytes and will take about 1.6 minutes or 1 minute 36 seconds to upload. (U) ... (Z) ... This simply shows that the user is uploading using the protocol defined by the letter Z, but the filename and transfer information could not be determined because the protocol is external. PCBoard updates this information at various times. The following details when internal and external protocols update the information for this display: === Internal Protocols === Internal protocols, by their very nature, know how to update PCBoard. As each file is transferred, the display will be updated to show the current status. The only exception is if a user is using an internal non-batch protocol to upload a file. In this case, you will only see that the user is uploading a file and what protocol they are using. === External protocols === External protocols do not update nearly as often simply because they do not know what to update since most are not PCBoard specific. PCBoard does its best on downloads by showing the last file that will be transferred. On uploads, you will simply see that someone is uploading a file and what protocol they are using. You will not know what file they are uploading. **NOTE:** If a user is viewing the contents of a file, PCBoard will show the name of the file they are viewing below their user name. The format that the filename is displayed in is the following: F V FILENAME.EXT ==== Entering a Message ==== When a user is entering a message, you will be shown what conference they are in, followed by who the message is being addressed to. For example, if the user was in conference 9 and entering a message to JOHN SMITH then you would see the following under the user's name: (9) => JOHN SMITH ==== Run/Answer Script ==== If a user is completing a script, you will see the conference and the script number they are completing listed underneath their name. For example, if a user was in conference #1 and filling out script #2, you would see the following under the user's name: (1) => #2 If you have a script questionnaire which is a PPE file, the filename of the PPE will be displayed. For example: C:\PCB\GEN\SCRIPT2.PPE ==== Running Event ==== When an event is running on a node, PCBoard will update the display of the nodes to show the event number and event name that is currently running. The format for the display is: #1 -> DAILY This example shows the display if event #1 is executing and the event BATCH file is called DAILY. === Example === If you execute the 11 command you might see a display which looked like this: ^ (#) ^ Status ^ User ^ |**1** | Transferring a File | STEWART OGDEN (HIGHLAND, KS) | | | | (D) PCBMULT.ZIP (G) 44,573 - 0.6 | |**2** | Run/Answer Script | FRED KORKLEWSKI (ALBURY HEIGHTS, NV) | | | | (1) => #2 | |**3** | Entering a Message | BILLY CRUMP (GREENMEADOW, NV) | | | | (9) => JOHN SMITH | |**4** | No Caller this Node || |**5** | No Caller this Node || |**6** | No Caller this Node || |**7** | Transferring a File | WINIFRED NEIDERHAUSER (SAN SIMEON, NE) | | | | (U) ... (Z) ... | |**10**| No Caller this Node || |**11**| No Caller this Node || |**12**| Logoff Alternate Node || Enables you to immediately logoff a user that is currently online. ==== Subcommands ==== |**[node #]**|Node number. The node number you wish to logoff. The user is displayed a message which informs them that an automatic logoff has been initiated.| ==== Description ==== Sometimes you may need or want to logoff a user that is currently on another node. PCBoard provides a SysOp command that enables you to do this. When you issue this command you must supply the node number that you wish to log off. Once you type in a valid node number the user will be logged off of the system NOTE: If the user is currently in a third party application, such as a door, they will not be logged out of the system until they return back to PCBoard. Likewise, the user will be allowed to finished any file transfers before they are logged off of the system.
