That's really only neededãfor a "re-login" or "change user" type of feature. When the user isãdisconnected in any way, the bbs.logout() logic is executed automatically, youãdon't need to force it.ããbbs.logoff() starts interactive stuff before hanging up. If don't want anythingãinteractive before disconnecting the user, bbs.hangup() is all you need to do.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #83:ãThe Electronic Frontier Foundation used to run Synchronet (circa 1993).ãNorco, CA WX: 59.6øF, 56.0% humidity, 14 mph NNE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
