Hello Nicholas,

 NB> If you remove a link that has been unresponsive for quite some time,
 NB> is there an easy way to delete all pending outgoing mail packets and
 NB> tic files for this link? Or do you have to delete everything manually?

BBBS has a nifty switch for such an occasion.

.../bbbs z 1:234/567. That command will remove any mail and tics for the node and also disconnect them from any areas they are connected to and finally remove the node from your config. Simple as that.

 NB> I probably should have asked this a long time ago, as when I have done
 NB> it in the past I would just script up something to go through the *.lo
 NB> file, remove any "^" or special characters before the path, as well as
 NB> any lines that point to files wanting to be saved (basically
 NB> everything a .tic file points at), and then use something like "xargs
 NB> rm < somefile.clo" to remove the list. However, if the husky project
 NB> has something built more specific to the task, I would much rather use
 NB> it.

There is an auto pause feature but I am not sure how it works. I'm going to be watching this thread and see what I can pick up. :)

 Ttyl :-),
