    not sure what you're asking here?

    what do you want to happen?

    Hello Avon!

    Replying to a msg dated 18 Oct 22 12:11, from you to me.

    In mystic server you can run events, but the command is mutil import.ini
    what would be placed in import.ini?

    OK, so import.ini I think (from memory) is just a placeholder ini file that may not exist.

    If you have a look at mutil.ini this is the 'master' file you can create any ini file from.

    So for example say you want to run the import echomail function and the filetoss function, you could create a copy of the multi.ini but let's say call it mailin.ini and then edit that version to enable those two functions, while also tweaking any settings for those functions in the body copy of the ini.

    Then in the events system you would call that new ini file in the 'shell' line with 'mutil mailin.ini'

    Now there are other ways to call functions from within an ini file using further syntax options for mutil but you get the general idea.

    Does that help? :)
