====== Events - (Shift-F3) ======

It is possible to instruct ProBoard to perform some action at a set time
and day (an "Event"). This action can be: exiting with a specific
errorlevel (for a batch file) or executing a DOS command.  This is useful
for example, to pack the user file, or to pack the message base at a
specified time each day.

You can define up to 30 events.

__**An event is described by the following fields:**__

**Enabled**

If this is set to 'No', the event will be ignored.

**Active Days**

Determines on what days of the week this event will run. To edit this field, press
<Enter> and toggle the 'Yes/No' fields displayed next to each day.

**Event Time**

The time at which the event has to run on the selected days (in 24h format).

**Duration**

How long this event has to stay active. During the event, no users are allowed to
log in on ANY node.

**Event type**

'Command' : A DOS-command will be executed when the event is activated.
You can use any of the shell options from menu type 7.
Remember to use the *Z option to run a batch file.

'Errlevel': When the event is activated, ProBoard will exit with an
errorlevel, specified in the next field.

**Errorlevel**

The errorlevel to use for this event if the event type is set to 'Errorlevel'.

**DOS-command**

The DOS-command to execute for this event if the event type is set to 'Command'.

**Node number**

An event will run on ONE node. You can specify the node here.

When using a frontend-mailer, you only have to specify the time, days and
duration, because the events have to be executed by the mailer.
