Login Script Commands
This section documents the scripting language sup-
ported by AT&T Mail Access.
Each line in a script file represents a command to be
executed by AT&T Mail Access. The syntax and
meaning of each command is as follows:
BREAK [<h-seconds>]
Sends a BREAK signal for <h-seconds> hundreths of a
second duration. The default without the optional
argument is 12/100 or 0.12 of a second (or BREAK 12)
DELAY <t-seconds>
Delays script execution for <t-seconds> tenths of a
second duration.
IFGOT { 1 | 2 | 3 } SKIP <#-lines>
Transfer control <#-lines> down if WAIT parameter
<string-1>, <string-2>, or <string-3> was received. Used
after a WAIT command.
IFTERMINAL SKIP <#-lines1> OR
<#-lines2>
Used for conditional control for a user who goes on-line
in terminal mode and uses the Information Services
menu. Pressing 1 <CR> (for AT&T Mail) skips <#-
lines2> lines down. Pressing anything else skips <#-
lines1> lines down.
SEND <t-seconds> "<string>"
Sends <string> with <t-seconds> tenths of a second delay
before every character is sent. Use 0 for <t-seconds> for
no delay. Quotes are required, but not sent.
SKIP <#-lines>
Transfer control <#-lines> down unconditionally.
WAIT <t-seconds> "<string-1>"
Wait for <string-1>, <string2>, or [ OR "<string-2>"
<string-3> no longer than <t-seconds> tenths of a second
[ OR "<string-3>" ] ]. Use IFGOT to test which string was
received. Quotes are required, but not part of the strings.
Several character sequences have special meanings in
a SEND or WAIT command string parameter, and they
are replaced with the following values:
$USERID
Login name from configuration.
$SECPASS
Mail service password from configuration.
$ATTPASS
Password from configuration.
^X
ASCII Control X character (where
X
can be from A to Z).
For example, ^M = ASCII 13 = Carriage Return.
