Sysop daily ops
Your two main panels:
/admin — admin home
Shows total/active users, post counts, online users, 24-hour activity
totals, recent callers, file queue depth, and quick-action buttons.
Use this for: a quick "is everything OK" check.
/admin/control — control panel
Shows:
- Every anetbbs-* systemd service with green/red badges plus
Start / Stop / Restart buttons and a one-click journal viewer. - NodeSpy — every active telnet/SSH/rlogin session, with live
page + last action + idle time. Click the eye icon for a per-node
detail screen with the last screen snapshot. - Live who's-online for both web and terminal users, refreshed
every 5 seconds.
For service start/stop/restart from the web to actually work, the
user anetbbs-web runs as needs sudoers permission for the units.
Install the supplied template:
sudo cp /home/stingray/anetbbs/deploy/sudoers.anetbbs /etc/sudoers.d/anetbbs
sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/anetbbs
sudo visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/anetbbs # syntax check
(Edit the stingray username in the template if your install runs
under a different account.)
/admin/checklist — first-launch checklist
Walks through what you've configured vs not (admin password changed,
custom board added, BBS_NAME customized, MOTD pool, default theme,
file area, bulletin posted). Re-runnable, read-only.
/admin/users + /admin/users/:id/manage
The richer user editor — set access level (Mystic-style 0–255), time
budget, lock/verify toggles, sysop notes, password reset, file ratio
view. The basic edit page is fine for renames; use Manage for
fine-grained control.
/admin/inactive-users
Bulk-cleanup interface for stale accounts. Pick a day cutoff, check
the boxes, mass-PM "we miss you" / soft-deactivate / hard-delete.
/admin/pending-users (NUV)
When NUV_ENABLED=true, new users land here for approval.
One-click Approve sends a welcome PM automatically.
/admin/newsletter
Compose a one-time newsletter. Fans out as a PM to every active
verified user. History kept.
/admin/broadcast
Push a real-time toast to every connected web tab AND every
telnet/SSH/rlogin user's terminal. Optional TTL.
Journals
Every anetbbs-* service writes to systemd journal. From the
control panel each service has a "list" icon showing the last 200
lines. Faster than journalctl alt-tab.
