Has anyone ever experienced where mystic does not seem to trigger on events? I've somehow recently corrected MAILOUT on semaphore trigger, but mailin has remained elusive.

OS: Linux
File Permissions on INI files: 777/chmod +x
ini files are in /mystic directory
Events are set for hourly and on !Toss event with:
MUTIL MAILIN.INI|MUTIL MAILOUT.INI
going to /mystic directory and running commands from prompt are successful. Weekdays are set to YES
Active flag - yes, it is YES.
if MUTIL works fine at command line, where else can I look?

Has anyone ever experienced where mystic does not seem to trigger on events? I've somehow recently corrected MAILOUT on semaphore trigger,
but mailin has remained elusive.

Yeah, I've been bitten by this. You have to restart mis each time you make a change to your events. I made a new event once to automatically post a message
using mutil and was baffeled that it wasn't working.

If you're running mis in daemon mode just do a sudo ./mis shutdown ; ./mis daemon and your event should just magically start working.

Yeah as has been said the mis running only appears to load it's configuration on startup so any changes to the telnet/ssh/other protocols as well as the events system will need a restart.

I'm having an odd problem at the moment where the filetoss works and places FSXNODE's FSXNET.Znn nodelist files into the right folder FSX_NODE but then
my bbs doesn't seem to process it and I cannot use the browse nodelist to
view whats in the network

What are you typing on the command line and is it any different? Your tag

./mutil mailout|./mis poll 21:1/100|mailin.ini
for a full poll. Remember commands need to come from somewhere (./=current directory). To setup you get the mail setup to go out, poll, then move the mailin from the poll. I have one that does ./mis poll forced but that seem

but a computer reboot would have solved that, correct?
this has been going on now for two weeks.
I thought it might be permission problem with the INI files - but I've
modified those since.

OK - I think I figured it out though I don't know yet why.
I had to go into events and where I had "MUTIL MAILOUT.INI|MUTIL MAILIN.INI",
I had to add the working directory, so: "/MYSTIC/MUTIL /MYSTIC/MAILOUT.INI <etc>"
weird....

Change this to:

./mutil mailin.ini|./mutil mailout.ini

The events need to know where the program is located, hence the ./ to run them.

Also, make sure the case is correct. Typically, the filenames are in lowercase, but double check on your system to make sure. :)

You know, I know to do that in the command line, but I thought that would not be needed inside mystic config area! either way, it is workiing now!

You get so used to typing it in, without even thinking about it. :)

That is one that seems to get just about everyone, on the Linux side...

No, not weird, normal Linux. What you needed was ./mutil mailout.ini| and so on. The Events start in /mystic by default, so ./name to run something. Generally it can be safer to do the full path like /mystic/mutil mailout.ini but it's not needed. It just makes it easier to remember where things are.
It also works better when doing odd things like:
(DD) Exec external program ./mystic -ver
(GT) Display line of text |PA
which will show the mystic version to the BBS user. Sometimes you need a |CR
or two in front of the |PA (pause) for multi-line output to work. Sometimes
you need the full path to get it to work as well, I experiment with everything I can ;)

I had to go into events and where I had "MUTIL MAILOUT.INI|MUTIL MAILIN.INI", I had to add the working directory, so: "/MYSTIC/MUTIL /MYSTIC/MAILOUT.INI <etc>"

and if you are running under Linux (based upon you used / rather than \ in the paths) then you will need to add ./ to mutil, so

./mutil mailout.ini
and so on

You will also need to add a fidopoll ... else theres not much point doing the mailin

Avon's videos on the raspberry pi shows the following event line

./mutil mailout.ini|./fidopoll 21:1/100|./mutil mailin.ini

i.e. process outgoing email into files for fidopoll to send; send them;
import into the message databases any messages downloaded

the ./ is essential in linux as by default the current directory is NOT in
the PATH unlike windows. Without it you will see in the logs that mutil will
be tried to run by the events system but will fail

Remember that fidopoll goes away with A46 after that it's ./mis poll
it replaces ./fidopoll

Oooh hadn't seen that one

I've been too busy trying to get my Netmail, File Tossing and Nodelist
working.

I guess I'd better

./mutil mailout.ini|./mis poll 21:1/100|./mutil mailin.ini

instead then.

If I remember correctly, NUKE is on a46 - I hope I'm not speaking wrong, but I think fidopoll is still the a46 option, as opposed to ./mis poll.

Both avenues (MIS POLL or FIDOPOLL) work for me.

Me too, because I made a Linux .sh script for 'fidopoll' just in case there was any old code that needed it/called it... it would still work because my script passes the data to ./mis poll. :P
