  • Timed event question

    From RickV@1:103/705 to All on Wed Jan 29 11:45:00 2025
    Can you add a batch file before the command line process on a timed event? I want to copy my echomail packets to another directory and then run sbbsecho.

    You could have a timed event run a batch file. So instead of running sbbsecho directly, you could modify the event to run a batch file, passing the parameters needed for sbbsecho, and the batch file would copy the packets and then run sbbsecho.

    Sure, go ahead.

    Thank you, that's what I wanted to know. Great Help.

    Thanks,
