Subj : Echo rules To : mark lewis From : Gordon Lewicky Date : Mon Nov 10 2003 08:31 pm Quoting mark lewis to Gordon Lewicky Subj. Echo rules, dated 10-Nov-2003 12:04 ml> i was experiancing system problems and the rules didn't get posted on ml> their normal schedule... i think i'm going to incorporate something ml> new that i've found... a neat bat file routine from the 4dos echo, ml> iirc... runs things on a schedule or as soon thereafter as possible... ml> that'll enable me to have rules and such posted after i've gotten ml> things unstuck... This is a bit off topic here in OS/2 Programming, but I use a util called setdate which allows you to make environ vars of practically anything to do with the date, such as day of week, day of month, month, year etc., so it becomes a simple line like if %DAY% == 01 or if %DOW% == Mon or if %MON% == Jan, etc. Cheers...
