%execute[%EXEC ... ] broken?

[mr_F_2]

I added the following to my UserInfo file in \text\ftp :

| Last seen: %[execute(%EXEC ..\scripts\ioSeen\ioSeen.exe)(v %[$user])] |

executing it manually yields:

C:\ioFTPD\scripts>ioSeen\ioSeen.exe v a_users_name
on Sun Sep 05, 2004 at 17:04:02

it doesn't like the %[$user] so it outputs this:
[L] 200-| Last seen: )] |

could this be fixed?

Don't think it's broken. I doubt u can use a cookie inside a super-cookie! Not seen anywhere where such a possibility would have been documented or discussed anyway.

Get the value(s) u want from environment variable(s).

i dont think i can get it from environmental variables, because that'd give me the logged in user's username, or the user issuing the command when it's the user i'm doing the <i>site uinfo</i> on that i want to pass to the application.

You could try to add uinfo = EXEC ..\scripts\ioSeen\ioSeen.exe v to the FTP_Custom_Commands. This way it should be called with the username as its 2nd parameter right before the internal @uinfo is called (or right after, i'm not sure).

If I remember correctly you can't include cookies in super-cookies to avoid infinite loops.

I could do that, but there should be able to do what I would like it to do here, it seems like such a drawback (though not a serious one) to not be able to use this the way i'd like to.
