  • how do i get syncterm to open with synchronet bbs (login) button

    From Rixter@1:103/705 to all on Sun Jun 2 19:07:01 2024
    right now when i am at the main control panel for SBBS I can click the Login button and nothing happens. I can launch syncterm from the desktop. I would like to be able to click the login button from the BBS control panel and login from there. I like the syncterm program. It works real good and looks great. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I dont use SBBSCTRL, but i beleive there is a settings menu in it somewhere to setup a telnet program for that button. Just go exploring or check the wiki.

    Check the wiki (wiki.synchro.net/monitor:sbbsctrl:properties) specifically the Login Command. According to the Syncterm code the following should work:

    syncterm rlogin://user:password@ricksbbs.synchro.net:22

    OR

    syncterm telnet://ricksbbs.synchro.net:23

    The only problem is, exiting syncterm you will be prompted to save the entry. The default is 'no', so just an enter will exit the program. I don't see anything documented in the code to bypass this.
