| TickIT automatically executes ''[[dir:exec]]/addfiles'' when it processes files sent to your system in FDN areas stored in your file bases. Addfiles is executed for each file as it is processed. Files stored outside of your file bases will not have addfiles run against them during processing. | |

| In a recent change to SBBSecho/EchoCfg v3 and ''tickit.js'', the TIC file password for each FTN-linked node is now stored in the ''TicFilePwd'' key of the corresponding ''[node]'' section of the ''[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' file and can be managed via AreaFix and via ''[[util:echocfg]]''. | In a recent change to SBBSecho/EchoCfg v3 and ''tickit.js'', the TIC file password for each FTN-linked node is now stored in the ''TicFilePwd'' key of the corresponding ''[node]'' section of the ''[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' file and can be managed via AreaFix and via ''[[util:echocfg]]''. |

| | ==== Command-line Syntax ==== |
| | |
| | tickit.js [cfg-file=tickit.ini] [-options] |
| | |
| | ^ Option ^ Description ^ |
| | | -force-replace | Always replace existing files of the same name in the same directory | |
| | | -debug | Enable extra debug-level log messages | |
| | |
| | The default configuration file is ''[[dir:ctrl]]/tickit.ini''. To use an alternate configuration file (but still located in the ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory), pass that filename on the command-line (not the full path, just the filename). Example: |
| | jsexec tickit.js alt_tickit.ini |

| | ''ForceReplace'' | Set to true to forcibly replace existing files with new ones of the same name even if the TIC does not properly specify the REPLACES verb. This will allow anyone who can send a TIC file to your board to overwrite files in your file bases. It should be used with caution. | | | ''ForceReplace'' | Set to true to forcibly replace existing files with new ones of the same name even if the TIC does not properly specify the REPLACES verb.
