Sysop Control Panel

The launchpad for live operations. /admin/control/. Admin-only.

Sections

Services

systemctl-driven status for anetbbs-web, anetbbs (unified
telnet/SSH/rlogin), anetbbs-mrc-bridge, anetbbs-finger,
anetbbs-binkp. Start / Stop / Restart buttons need sudoers
permission for the account these run as — see deploy/sudoers.anetbbs
(update.sh installs this automatically on every run; on a fresh
install that hasn't been updated yet, it needs the __SERVICE_USER__
placeholder substituted with sed, not just copied — see
Sysop Guide).

NodeSpy

Live terminal session list with view-screen and kick buttons. See
NodeSpy.

Online users

Web + terminal users combined, last 5 minutes. Refreshes every
4 seconds.

Sysop tools

Quick links to:

Notification Settings — turn off any of the five
admin-review notification kinds you don't want (they're all on by
default)

Hub Management

Only present when this install is the network hub
(REGISTRY_MODE_ENABLED=true) — links into /admin/echomail/hub/:

BinkP node management and QWK node management (add/edit/delete,
subscribe to areas — including a Subscribe to All button per
QWK node — reset a QWK node's high-water mark)
The hold queue — items withheld from distribution
Two separate node-request review queues: the QWK-only one for
applications submitted via a BBS's own terminal wizard, and a newer
one covering the public "apply to join this network" form
(/join/, both BinkP and QWK) — see ANotherNetwork
Generation & Distribution, four tabs — generate/publish the
nodelist on demand (plus its weekly schedule), preview a QWK packet
per node without marking it sent, TIC/file-distribution status, and
the Join Form tab for enabling/configuring the public application
page above

New applications on either queue send you a notification
— no need to keep checking these pages for new work.

See ANotherNetwork for what this network actually is, and
QWK / TIC Processor for the mechanics each panel is managing.
