	AUTOBRU.CMD IS AN MCR COMMAND FILE TO AID IN PERFORMING
	OUR WEEKLY SYSTEM MAINTAINENCE. IT PERFORMS ANY OR ALL
	OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS.
	   1.	DELETE ALL LIST AND MAP FILES
	   2.	PURGE ALL DIRECTORIES
	   3.	TRUNCATE ALL FILES
	   4.	VERIFY THE DISK FOR LOST FILES
	   5.	RUN ERROR LOG
	   6.	SAVE THE SYSTEM DISK TO TAPE WITH BRU
		   A.	FULL OR INCREMENTAL SAVE
		   B.	MOUNTED OR UNMOUNTED
		   C.	APPEND TO END OR START NEW TAPE
	   7.	LOGOUT.	   -	ONLY IF SAVE NOT PERFORMED

	EACH OF THESE ARE INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED AND THEN PERFORMED.
	THE FIRST THREE ARE TO RECOVER UNNEEDED BLOCKS FROM THE
	DISK. THE NEXT TWO VERIFY THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING PROPERLY
	AND THE 6TH IS TO SAVE THE SYSTEM DISK ON TAPE. IF AN
	INCREMENTAL SAVE IS TO BE PERFORMED, TRUNCATE SHOULD NOT
	BE PERFORMED AS IT WILL CHANGE THE REVISION DATES OF 
	ALL FILES.

	IF THE SAVE IS PERFORMED IT WILL BE GIVEN THE BACKUP SET
	NAME  DDMMM  WHERE DD AND MMM ARE THE CURRENT SYSTEM DATE.
	ALSO IF AN INCREMENTAL SAVE IS TO BE PERFORMED, THE DATE
	OF REVISION WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE FILE  BRUDATE.DAT.
	THE CURRENT DATE AND TIME WILL ALSO BE STORED IN  
	BRUDATE.DAT  TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT INCREMENTAL SAVE.
	A RECORD OF ALL SAVES IS KEPT BY APPENDING THE LATEST
	BRU COMMAND FILE (BR.CMD) TO THE HISTORY FILE  BRU.HIS.

	IN PREPARING THIS FILE I AM ASSUMING IT WILL BE USED BY
	EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS FAMILIAR WITH INDIRECT COMMAND
	FILES AND WITH BRU. THIS COMMAND FILE IS SET UP TO WORK
	WITH DEVICES  DR: AND MM:.  IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE TO CHANGE
	THESE.  ALSO OUR SYSTEM USES VIRTUAL DISKS (FROM PREVIOUS
	DECUS SYMPOSIA TAPES). THESE ARE CHECKED AND DISMOUNTED
	FOR AN UNMOUNTED SAVE. IF YOUR SYSTEM DOESN'T HAVE THEM,
	COMMAND LINES REFERENCING VD: SHOULD BE DELETED. TO
	PREPARE THE HISTORY AND DATE FILES, THE FILE ABBLD.CMD
	HAS BEEN INCLUDED AND SHOULD BE RUN BEFORE USING AUTOBRU.

	GOOD LUCK, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS
	CRITICISMS OR SUGGESTIONS.
