Post Message

The Synchronet Post Message module replaces the functionality of the 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 exec directory.

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 JSexec.

The command-line syntax is very similar to the import (i) command supported by smbutil.

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")
