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.

Here is the output when running the TIC Toss after Running the Auto hatch:

Not sure why?

Filename in base is: LIN_NODE.z35

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.
