• Single key to switch command shells?

    From Razor@VERT/SILENT to All on Sunday, February 28, 2010 08:47:39
    I'd like to "quit" from my custom shell back to the "default" shell. What I'm doing so far doesn't seem to change the user config option for command shell & disconnects me from telnet. Here's my current code:
    case 'Q':
    user.command_shell="DEFAULT";
    exit(0);

    Does anyone see an obvious error in my logic? This is similar to code used for changing shells through the user config editor.

    The setting of the command shell looks correct, but I don't understand the use of exit(). Shells are not normally "nested". An exit() would just stop the shell.

    Ahh, I was never executing the new shell. I still don't quite have it, but I might come back to that later.
    Now I'm trying to choose a shell from logon.js & no matter which I choose, I always get DEFAULT. Here's my code for that.

    if(!console.noyes("Quick logon"))
    {
    user.command_shell="RQSHELL";
    }
    else
    {
    user.command_shell="DEFAULT";
    }

    You discovered a bug with the Synchronet JS "User" class, which I just fixed. When setting the command_shell property, it was writing to the host_name / computer property instead. If you get tonight's development build (dated mar-1) this should be fixed.

    Very cool, thanks DM.
