Hi all,

So I'm working on adding a BBS last caller for my Discord Server. I have the .sh file working and have it working in chains. I can post when complete. The one thing I can't figure out is the best way to execute it at login. I'm using a login.bas file for oneliners made by Eli, and thought I'd add it to that. I noticed I can use a:

wwiv.command("RunDoorNumberFree:36")

WWIVbasic command, which I really like because it ensures the .sh file has the needed info from the drop file such as user name and node number.

However, I can't get it to do anything. It just sort of ignores it.

Is there a better way to run a .SH script from chains being from within the .bas file as a login event, or ?

Idea is:
User logs in
Script calls Door 36 to run during login process (lilo)
Door 36 is a discord.sh %U %N %R command line
discord.sh hooks an ANSI file over to my "last caller" channel
Login process continues

Only not working:
Execution of Door 36 at login
Excluding sl255.

Currently have it as
wwiv.command("RunDoorNumberFree:36")

in my login.bas script
my login.bas script is the logon event in wwiv.ini

Any ideas would be appreciated.

wwiv.command("RunDoorNumberFree:36")

I think the format is wwiv.command("RunDoorNumberFree", "36")

The docs should be improved here.
Here's the code to run the door: https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/blob/8ed6b69f89faecb5b9947e48c0cd89d98f107bbb/bb s/menus/menucommands.cpp#L148

Here's where the wwiv.command is implemented: https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/blob/8ed6b69f89faecb5b9947e48c0cd89d98f107bbb/bb s/basic/wwiv.cpp#L50

It checks for an argument after the command and passes it to menus::interpret_command

here's the documentation, this would be a good first change project. https://github.com/wwivbbs/docs/blob/main/docs/cfg/wwivbasic.md

Thank you! I'll give that a shot. I also don't want it to include S255, I'll try to find that in the docs.

This link gives me:

Same here:

The last link works. I ran into troubles with links off the docs page also, for example the examples link for example.bas files. Something about "for admins only." Fyi.

Not sure why the links got garbled, jsut search for the filename in the git repo. The #LXXX is just the line number
