Subject: [PATCH] New BBS Option flag: NO_NEWDAY_EVENTS, which when set will
cause daily maintenance and any system daily event to *not* execute in the
event thread (i.e. very soon after midnight), but instead require a BBS user
logon/off to initiate these daily tasks, or (as I use it) another instance of
sbbs which is better suited to these daily tasks.
