From 1.48 onwards it will become increasingly possible to control DXSpider's operation with scripts of various kinds.
The directory /spider/scripts is a place for scripts to be placed. The main script in this directory is called startup that can be used to make changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible. The other two files are startup.issue, which is a minimal file to use to build a startup and user_default.issue


The directory /spider/scripts is where it all happens and is used for several things.  Firstly it contains a file called startup that can be used to call in any changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup.  This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible.  Examples of this include how many spots it is possible to get with the sh/dx command, whether you want registration/passwords to be permanently on etc.  An example file is shown below and is included in the distribution as startup.issue.

As usual, any text behind a # is treated as a comment and not read. To use this file, simply rename it from startup.issue to startup.  In our example above there are three options.  The first option is the amount of spots that a user can request with the sh/dx command.  Normally the default is to give 10 spots unless the user specifies more.  Without this line enabled, the maximum a user can request is 100 spots.  Depending on your link quality you may wish to enable more or less by specifying the number.
===user_default===


The other 2 options are dealt with more fully in the security section.
The user_default.issue file, when copied to user_default or a callsign, is used to deliver initial information to a user. The file below will show the relevant information at login:


Secondly, it is used to store the login scripts for users and nodes. Currently this can only be done by the sysop but it is envisaged that eventually users will be able to set their own.  An example is included in the distibution but here is a further example.

Scripts

The directory /spider/scripts is a place for scripts to be placed. The main script in this directory is called startup that can be used to make changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible. The other two files are startup.issue, which is a minimal file to use to build a startup and user_default.issue

startup

  3. lines starting with a # are ignored
  5. set maximum no of spots allowed to 100

set/var $Spot::maxspots = 100

  2. reject node adverts

rej/ann node_default input info telnet,cluster,7000,7300,7373,8000,8888,9000,17300

  2. reject D0 and D1 prefixes which aren't on the ITU list

rej/spot node_default input 2 call d0,d1 rej/spot node_default input 3 by d0,d1

  2. set outbound spider connections with nodes you've paired with

set/spider g1abc-2 set/spider gb7abc-1

  2. make instant connections to nodes

connect g1abc-2 connect gb7abc-1

  2. make people register before they can send spots
  3. 1 is on, 0 is off

set/var $main::reqreg = 1

  2. make people use a password to login
  3. 1 is on, 0 is off

set/var $main::passwdreq = 0

  2. set the node's external dynamic IP

set/external_ip

  2. set the node and logging pc IPv4s
  3. gather ip address from your network and add them at the end using ,'192.168.1.144' for example

set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.123','192.168.1.134')

  2. EOF

user_default

The user_default.issue file, when copied to user_default or a callsign, is used to deliver initial information to a user. The file below will show the relevant information at login:

  2. standard user default script

blank + sh/dx 5 blank - sh/u blank - sh/wwv 1 blank - sh/wcy 1 blank +

  2. EOF
