  • NetRunner script

    From g00r00@21:1/108 to All on Thu Mar 7 04:46:16 2019
    Has anyone ever used a script with NetRunner to auto login and do things? I have been thinking about removing that feature if I rewrite NetRunner because
    I don't think anyone has ever really used it.

    I had always just used Alt-L to send the login info, never used a script.

    I'm not near my BBS PC right now as I reply. I recall creating a bespoke .zip with netrunner in it and setting things up so folks could run that batch file and it would fire up netrunner and telnet to Agency. If that was a script
    then yeah I used it but it was some time ago.. it may have just been a simple switch.. sorry have not looked at it in some time.

    Best, Paul

    I set it up to use F1 for username and F2 for password when I only used
    telnet but now that Netrunner can use SSH fine for me, I've not used it for a long while. So it's a take it or leave it for me.

    Yeah its not all that useful. It could be scripted to call in and exchange QWK packets or something if someone really wanted to, but with SSH and RLOGIN
    plus macros I think maybe its not very useful to keep it.

    I will check the CTRL+Fx stuff but I think NetRunner in general has problems with non-US keyboards. This is of course difficult for me to address because I don't have non-US keyboards and I don't know other languages. :)

    Those are macros. NetRunner has a scripting engine so you can automate stuff. Below is one that works on my BBS to automagically log in via TELNET, but you can also queue and send/receive files as well. I don't think anyone ever
    uses it:

    ; Example script for logging into a BBS

    waitfor "BEGIN A SESSION"
    send "B"
    waitfor "LOGIN >>"
    send "@UN@CR"
    waitfor "PASS >>"
    send "@PW@CR"

    Sometimes i forget to turn the keyboard layout from Greek to English and i start Netrunner... nothing responds and i have to close it down, switch keyboard to us/english and then launch it again, to work :)

    The CTRL-Fx keys don't work perhaps of the Ubuntu version i use... i am using Lubuntu 18.10 with Qt Desktop... i am almost sure, that all CTRL-Fx combinations are used by QT Desktop and thats why Netrunner doesn't respond. The OS catches first the keystrokes. :(

    Ahh, oops! My mistake. Well here's my two cents on it anyway. Keep Netrunner simple. I don't think all the bells and whistles are needed as it's a tool to access BBSes. A very fast, small beautiful looking piece of software is all that is needed. I've almost exclusively used Netrunner for a few years and my only issue is the limit of the address book. Other than that, it does what
    says on the box and that's good enough for me. :)

    You can make multiple address books. I know that might not be the solution you want, but it can allow you to have more than 200 at least. I am surprised you had reason to have more than 200 entries in your address book!

    I will keep it in mind to remove the limit whenever I get around to converting the phone book to an .ini file instead of a data file. I am not sure when I will actually get around to doing that though.

    It's no worries :) That's what I currently do now is a phone book for A-L,
    M-S and T-Z. And one for my most frequent. I can't honestly say I call that many but every now n then I'll call a few odd ball ones up out of the blue.
    And it's just one extra step to change books.
