====== Post Message ======

The Synchronet Post Message module replaces the functionality of the ''[[util:smbutil]] i'' command and is the recommended method for auto-posting (or e-mailing) messages. You should be able to find the source for this module (''postmsg.js'') in your Synchronet ''[[dir:exec]]'' directory.

===== Usage =====

The postmsg module may be executed from the Synchronet Terminal Server (e.g. as //Timed Event// or using the '';EXEC'' sysop command) with a ''?'' prefix (e.g. ''?postmsg -option sub-code''), or it may be executed from an operating system command prompt via [[util:JSexec]].

The command-line syntax is very similar to the import (''i'') command supported by ''[[util:smbutil]]''.

==== Syntax ====
<code>
usage: postmsg.js [-option] [-option] [...] <sub-code>

<sub-code> must be a valid sub-board (msgbase) internal code or 'mail'

options:
        -i<filename>  import body text from filename rather than stdin
        -t<name>      set 'to' user name
        -n<addr>      set 'to' netmail address
        -u<number>    set 'to' user number
        -f<name>      set 'from' user name
        -e<number>    set 'from' user number
        -s<subject>   set 'subject'
        -D<date>      set message date in numeric format
        -T<date/time> set message date and time in string format supported by JS Date()
        -d            use default values (no prompt) for to, from, and subject
        -F            set file request attribute flag

Note: You may need to enclose multi-word options in quotes (e.g. "-fMy Name")
