How to Auto Announce

[nofxpunkerbrian]

This requires Iweb but its cool to use.

Simply Create a .jsp file in your iweb folder with the following contents:

<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=GBK"%>
<%@page import="java.lang.*"%>
<%@page import="java.util.*"%>
<%@page import="java.text.*"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils"%>
<%@page import="protocol.*"%>
<%@page import="com.goldhuman.auth.*"%>
<%@page import="com.goldhuman.util.*"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.commons.logging.Log"%>
<%@page import="org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory"%>
<%@page import="java.io.*"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.*"%>
<%

	// 
String msg = "PUT ANNOUNCEMENT HERE";
try {
	protocol.DeliveryDB.broadcast((byte)9,-1,msg);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
	out.println("<font color=red>Error Attempting to Broadcast Message!</font>");
}	
%>
<%
out.println("<font color=green>Successfully Sent Broadcast Message!</font>");
%>

Then Create a cron directing to your .jsp to tick whenever you want it to.

Restart your Java service so it works and there you go :)

Great guide Bash love it, but is there a way to have it announce more than just one msg at a time?

I want to get it to announce a few server rules every 45 minutes.

iv already got it auto refreshing just i can not figure out how to get more than one announce without cloning the script 5 times >.<

I tossed this together as another package for everyone:

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Put directories in their respective places.

Then, if you need any assistance; start tomcat, then navigate a web browser to:

http://your_server_ip:8080/pwAdmin/AA

Change:
String msg = "PUT ANNOUNCEMENT HERE";
to:
String msg = request.getParameter("msg");
Then make a cron job

0 0,6,12,18 * * * root /usr/bin/wget http://serverip:port/iweb/jsp_name.jsp?msg=you_rmsg -q > /dev/null

0 0,6,12,18 * * * root /usr/bin/wget http://serverip:port/iweb/jsp_name.jsp?msg=you_rmsg -q > /dev/null

But there is no input field on the JSP page to type the message for the string "request.getParameter("msg");"

You edit the JSP; it's not inputted in a web interface. You permanently edit the JSP to say what you want it to say. Then CRON will call it at whatever interval you set it to. Nothing else to do, then it will auto run as long as the server is 'up' (and of course you can make as many of these as you want [ie... one that would run every hour, one that would run every monday at 6pm, one that would run every new year @ midnight whatever you set in CRON)

&& if you're using my 'package' of this I created an HTML instruction as noted in my post above... (it's really easy; you put the directories in their respective places and change the actual announcement in the JSP and modify CRON; which if I remember correctly I even include the CRON setting (as an example) that would make it run every hour; so if you installed my 'package' and did not modify anything, every hour you should see it say "PUT ANNOUNCEMENT HERE" in game))
