Create a semi-traditional Waiting For Caller (WFC) System

[NuSkooler]

Feature open for Discussion: Create a semi-traditional "Waiting For Caller" (WFC) system.

Traditional:

• A terminal driven WFC (dashboard) that can be viewed by +ops
• ACS driven: "+ops" here should be GM[users] by default, but could be configured. See modern features on other restrictions.
• Display of basic statistics such as active connections/nodes, last N calls, etc.
• Quick login
• Ability to receive direct (PM/IM) messages from an online user
• Ability to break break into chat with an online user
• Node spy. Essentially see what a connected user is seeing
• Some basic management
• View logs

Some more modern features:

• Allow remote WFC: +ops should be able to remotely connect & use the WFC
• Remove connections should work over secure channels only (Secure WebSocket or SSH)
• It may even be worth only allowing SSH with public key authentication.
• Possible whitelist of allowed IPs
• Various menu.hjson / theming rules should apply to WFC
• View status -- and possibly trigger -- scheduled tasks

How about a log viewer and echomail polling?

[NuSkooler]

@cwstephenson71 Viewing of logs is in the list. What do you mean by EchoMail polling? An explicit "poll now" type action? Since ENiGMA currently relies on an external system for transport (e.g.: Binkd) that may not be directly possible.

[cwstephenson71]

Yeah like a "poll now" maybe add the default command syntax for bink "binkd -p" or even let the sysOp change it if they don't use bink?

@cwstephenson71 If that's really a desired feature I think arbitrary +op defined commands would be better.

Something like:

commandKey: {
  name: Poll Binkd
  cmd: /sbin/binkd
  args: [
    // ...
  ]
}

[SemperFu]

Since I have a scheduled task set to run a poll on binkd. Could give the sysop the ability to see scheduled tasks and run them immediately as well.

[streaps]

why not display and modify the files in the outbound directory directly?

[cwstephenson71]

Yeah, me too...much better! Thanks!

@streaps Can you elaborate?

if this is not self explanatory, I can elaborate later.

[NuSkooler]

@streaps ENiGMA already reads/writes FTN/BSO packets & control files. I'm not sure what you're getting at here -- what feature are you after? What does it have to do with a WFC?

[NuSkooler]

https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/pull/431 is merged! Some tickets already entered, any other missing functionality/requests should be their own as well.
