JNOS Commands Manual - Status Display


Status Display

JNOS now has a (up to) 3-line status display which shows:

On the first line:

     time, heap and core free memory, number of connections to the
     different servers.  Then a list of active sessions, where 
     sessions with data waiting are blinking.

The 2nd line shows:

     the users connected to the bbs. A status symbol in front means
     one of the following:

  none - user is idle
  *    - user is a bbs
  @    - user is in sysop mode
  !    - user has gatewayed out
  #    - user is reading or sending mail
  =    - user is transferring data (up/download)
  ^    - user is in convers or sysop-chat mode
  ?    - user is in none of the above, but not idle...

       Eg: BBS: *w0rli johan #ka7ehk !n7ifj

     (lines 1 and 2 are the 'system' window)

On the 3rd line is data depending on the current session.

     Always displayed are the current session number and type.

     If the sessions are network connections, displayed are remote
     connection name, tx-queue (bytes for tcp, packets for ax.25),
     and state of the connection. It then shows the retry timer, with
     current time left, and initial value.

     In 'repeat', 'more' or 'look' sessions, the 3rd line show the
     command, filename or user/socket for the session.

     The number of status lines displayed can be set with the '-uX'
     commands line option. '-u0' turns it off. Default is '-u3'

     NOTE: if tracing is enabled, this will 'bleed' through the status
     window.

     This is NOT a bug, but is inherent to the way tracing works in
     JNOS. (It would take a major rewrite to fix.) The status window
     will be rebuilt about twice a second to overcome this.
