    src/sbbs3 xtrn.cpp 1.259 1.260
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv8024

    Modified Files:
    xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    Added 2 new environment variables dynamically-defined when launching DOS programs: PCBDRIVE (the drive letter of the current node directory) and PCBDIR (the path to the current node directory, without the drive letter).

    These emulate the same variables crated by PCBoard.

    The reason these are being added is that Sunrise Door Software's 16-bit doors contain special support for these environment vars when used in their .CFG files
    (e.g. %PCBDIR%DOOR.SYS) and this allows easy multi-node configuration with a single .CFG file. The SBBSNODE environment varialbe would have worked perfectly fine for this purpose, but apparently Sunrise Doors (or the DoorFrame development kit they utilized) has hard-coded these PCBoard (and Wildcat!) environment variable names, so SBBSNODE wont' work for this purpose.

    For Synchronet-Win32, you will need the DOSXTRN.EXE revision 25 or later
    or you may experience NTVDM crashes when running external DOS programs.

    A second pass at: Better native vs. DOS cmd-line detection in cmdstr()

    cmdstr() is often called for non-executable command-lines (e.g. for @include: file name/path arguments), so don't default to native unless a mode value was specified. Hopefully addresses issue reported by bobrob without breaking anything else (again).

    Log Message:
    When running 16-bit DOS commands "offline" on Windows, don't use dosxtrn

    We shouldn't need a virtual UART/FOSSIL driver to execute "offline" program (e.g. timed events) in the first place, and our virtual UART/FOSSIL for Windows wouldn't work right in the scenario anyway even if it did load successfully.

    This resolves the reported issues with timed events configured as not "native" returning error 255 (and not running successfully) on Windows with SBBS v3.19. I'm not even sure what changed exactly in xtrn.cpp, dosxtrn.c, and sbbexec.c between v3.18 and v3.19 that's causing this to now fail, but it (using DOSXTRN to run offline DOS programs) really shouldn't have been attempted in the first place. So that was just a design issue that happened to kind of sort of work up until v3.19.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    When user hangs-up on external programs on *nix, try to terminate w/SIGTERM

    Previously, when a user disconnected or ran out of time while running a stdio-based external program on *nix, if the program was still running, we'd send it a SIGHUP, wait up to 10 seconds for the process to terminate and if
    it did not, terminate it (ungracefully) with SIGKILL. Since some programs
    catch SIGTERM (and not SIGHUP) to indicate a termination request, we now will first attempt a SIGHUP, wait up to 5 seconds for the process to terminate and if it does not, then send a SIGTERM and wait up to another 5 seconds for it
    to terminate and if it doesn't, then finally send it a SIGKILL (which cannot
    be caught and always results in an ungraceful termination of the child process).

    This doesn't resolve any specific problem with any specific stdio-based external program, but I was playing around with ESR's port of Adventure (https://gitlab.com/esr/open-adventure) and a new auto-save/restore of game state and noticed that we weren't using SIGTERM for this situation, though we should have. Most modern programs, if they catch SIGHUP at all, use it to indicate a refresh of configuration or data files, not a termination request (or indication that a user has "hung up"). So SIGTERM is more reasonable to be expected to be caught and initiate the graceful termination of the child program that we're hoping for.
