  • Stop logon programs showing in xtrn menus

    I don't like the fact that programs that run during logon have to be in an xtrn menu, for example, for bullseye to run during logon, it must be in one of the online program menus. Also, the sysop doesn't seem to have any control over the order these programs are executed.Maybe add a new scfg section for "logon/logoff programs" that are only to be run at those times, allow the user to specify the order in which they run, access levels, and the like, but keep them separate from the xtrn programs.

    Which "xtrn menu" are you referring to?When an external program is configured in SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs, the "Execute On Event" setting allows both "Logon" and "Logon, Only" as options. When set to "Logon, Only" the program does not appear on user's external program menus. Bullseye does not have to be one of the online program menus.The order the programs are executed is the order they're listed in the xtrn.ini file which probably matches the order listed in SCFG too.There's also SCFG->External Programs->Fixed Events->Logon Event (and Logout Event), but these are normally used for a single program/script that doesn't have any user display/interaction.

    I found a way around it using @EXEC in logon.*.asc files. Seems to do what i need.

    Setting a program to "Logon, Only" doesn't "Stop logon programs showing in xtrn menus"?

    "Execute on Event" does not offer a "Lonon, Only" option.~~~Which (Help, Copy, X-Cut, Add, Delete or Quit): 4[BullsEye! Bulletins] 1: Name BullsEye!

    Yes, select "2: Logon" and then you will be prompted if the program should run during the event (logon) only.

    I hate stuff like that. Makes it less intuitive. Just let me see all the options! I'll check and verify.
