• AutHatch

    From Chad Adams@21:1/107 to All on Saturday, December 02, 2023 09:12:06
    All,

    Question about autohatch:

    In mutil.ini you specific the ECHOTAG for file area, filename, and replace file options.

    Question:

    For a nodelist, you do not know the extension = NODELIST.Zxx
    How do you specify the filename in the ini file for AUTOHATCH?
    Do I just put the first part?

    e.g.: NODELIST.

    Here is how I have it set up on my system to do the weekly autohatch. File 44 is the nodelist file area. I think it is working. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

    [AutoHatch]

    ; Files will be automatically hatched to connceted downlinks
    ; Each file must already exist in the file base. The format
    ; file=<base ID or echotag> | filename | replaces filename (optional)

    file=44 | HOBBYNET.* |HOBBYNET.*
    file=4 | HOBBYNET.ZIP | HOBBYNET.ZIP

    Thats what I tried and I get an error saying that the file nodelist.* does not exist.
    So it doesnt hatch it.

    I think you issue may be the case of the extension.... I note you have a lowercase .z* perhaps better to have LIN_NODE.* ??

    I tried it that way, FILENAME.* and it doesn't hatch from Mystic. I do not know how to make Mystic hatch it without completely specifying the full filename.

    I don't know if it can be done and suspect not, I use HTick to get the job done.
