	==Batch Utilities==		==Batch Utilities==
	~~<span style~~=~~"color: Fuchsia">~~This ~~section will~~ be ~~provided soon~~.~~</span>~~		In addition to the BOARD18 pages described above, there also
			exists a number of batch utilities that can be of use to
			BOARD18 administrators. Many of these utilities are documented
			in this WIKI. The '''utilities''' directory, which is part of
			the BOARD18 download, contains these utilities and also some
			supporting files for them.

			===Creating a BOARD18 Web Site===
			The '''board18db.txt''' file is used when creating the database
			for a new BOARD18 web site. This process is documented on the
			[[How To Create a BOARD18 WEB Site]] page. This How To document
			also explains how to initialize the three BOARD18 configuration files.

			===Updating a BOARD18 Web Site===
			The '''BOARD18update''' and the '''control.sh''' files are used
			when updating an existing BOARD18 web site. This process is
			documented on the [[How To Update a BOARD18 WEB Site]] page.

			===Mass Loading Game Boxes to a BOARD18 Web Site===
			The Load Game Box page, described above, can be used to load game
			boxes, one by one, into the BOARD18 database. But this can become
			tedious when many game boxes have to be loaded at once. In this
			case, the '''massLoadBoxes.php''' utility may be more convenient.
			This utility is documented in the second part of the
			[[How To Load Board18 Game Boxes]] page.

			===Other Files in the Utility Directory ===
			There are quite a few other files in the '''utility''' directory.
			You can find out more about them in other parts of this WIKI. They
			are of more interest to developers and testers of the BOARD18 code
			base. A list of them can be found in the '''README.txt''' file in
			the '''utility''' directory.

			But this can only be done by an "admin" level player.
