Hi guys,ããI must have missed something because I don't seem to see it in theãdocumentation or past messages: how would one go about setting a .JS file as aãcommand shell?ããDoes this involve making a BAJA "shell" just to call the .JS?ããThanks & regards,ãArt at fatcats dot poorcoding dot comãã| fatcats bbs |ã| + telnet://fatcats.poorcoding.com |ã| + ssh://fatcats.poorcoding.com:2322 |ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ fatcats bbs - http://fatcats.poorcoding.comã

Name the Baja file after yourãshell's internal code (if you used the internal code "SHELL" then your Bajaãfile should be "SHELL.SRC".) Your Baja stub need only contain one line to callãthe JS shell, so if your shell JS is shell.js, your Baja would be 'execã"?shell"'.ããecãã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

I just don't giveãthe board the chance to use a .bin file, I handle everything from the get-go inã.js.

Create a Baja script that just callsãyour .js script and set up the Baja script as a command shell in SCFG.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS: digdist.bbsindex.comã

Chicken, that's sage advice and I was considering porting my entireãlogin.src to .js to that effect... glad to know I was kind of on the rightãtrack...ãã> .js.

Inãyour .js shell, you can check for whether the user changed their shell and exitãif so, as follows:ããuser.cached = false;ãvar oldShell = user.command_shell;ãbbs.user_config();ãuser.cached = false;ãbbs.user_sync();ãif (user.command_shell != oldShell)ã exit(0);ããThat's how I'm doing it in my .js shell, and the only thing I do in my Baja isãsimply run my .js script, and it is able to support changing shells.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS: digdist.bbsindex.comã
