This document addresses the JNOS command set. This manual
is current as of the version indicated on the title page. Prior
versions of commands or commands which have been deleted are not
included. Also, this document addresses only the commands that
are available in the N5KNX (previously the WG7J) distribution
compile (uses distconf.h). Information about commands for other
modules which are not included in the "standard" N5KNX compile
may be found via online help (if command helpfiles were installed
on disk) or in the readme.now file.
The user interface for JNOS is very similar to most of the
well-known BBS programs. This is to provide an easy transition for
users. The user interface in the JNOS program is commonly called
the 'mailbox' or bbs. These terms will be used interchangeably
throughout this document when describing commands.
This Commands Manual contains the commands and their
descriptions for using and operating a JNOS tcp/ip and ax.25 packet
switch, BBS, and network node. Also contained in this manual is
information about the FORWARD.BBS, REWRITE, ALIAS, and USERS files
used in a JNOS installation.
