If you're starting MIS (Mystic Internet Servers) through systemd, you
can addthe following to the [Service] stanza of your mis.service file
(or whateveryou call it):

ExecStartPre=-/mystic/mis POLL KILLBUSY all
ExecStopPost=-/mystic/mis POLL KILLBUSY all

(Adjust the paths to the 'mis' binary as needed.)

Lol, you know - I still haven't bothered to put my BBS in a system service yet?! And I have like 4 things that I have to keep loaded for it now. :P

I went ahead and grabbed this msg... just so I can cheat and have everything ready for me when I do... Heck, I have to add mystic, talisman, doorparty, MRC... you know the drill - I swear, I have to VNC in and load all four things everything my BBS box goes down. :P

One of these days....

I don't have Mystic running a service yet either. I have a .sh script set to run Mystic on startup, but at ryan's advice I just setup DoorParty as a service.

I might try and get Mystic setup the same way soon.

Thanks goes to Altere, Zip & ryan - I've come up with this mis.service file which *seems* to be working:

[Unit]
Description=Mystic Internet Server
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=forking
User=pi
Environment="mysticbbs=/home/pi/mystic"
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/mystic
ExecStartPre=/home/pi/mystic/mis poll killbusy all ExecStart=/home/pi/mystic/mis daemon
PIDFile=/home/pi/mystic/semaphore/mis.bsy
ExecStop=/home/pi/mystic/mis shutdown
ExecStopPost=/home/pi/mystic/mis poll killbusy all
Restart=always
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Does anyone have any comments or critiques?

Yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and my dogs knocked the power cord loose for my phone. Normally it's not a big deal, but my phone was really needing
to charge, so shut down.

Apparently mutil was running at thee time, because when I turned the phone
back on and restarted the BBS, it kept giving a res1 error when the m8s
server tried to run mutil. After a few minutes, I found mutil.bsy was in the semaphore directory, deleted it, and all is good now.

However, in case for some reason in the future this were to happen again, is there some way to check on startup for .bsy files and delete them automatically?

Thanks

Todd Solaris from Error 404 created a bat file which deletes all .bsy files
and resets the BBS, I am sure you can convert it to Linux. I have used it in the past on Windows and it works flawlessly..

You can add: mis poll killbusy all

Somewhere in there before you startup Mystic, that will delete any and all of the .bsy files.
