That was the problem. or rather multiple small problems.  I forgot the ./
before the command. I'm on Linux as well.

I was also trying tto run it as an event when I start mis up, to
automatically start the server when starting the BBS. I don't think I did
that event right anyway, as it wants to run at midnight my time (CST)

I also tried running it from the command line then starting a local session
of Mystic to log on, but that obviously doesn't work either.

It was throwing me off a bit because I didn't get an error anywhere that I
could see.

In addition to being new to Mystic, I'm new to Linux as well. And in this
setup I'm command line only, at least until I figure out the SSH/SSL tunnels,
which I believe would let me use a GUI through VNC.  But that's way back on
my priorities.

In anycase, MRC now works, so I'm on to my next project.

Thanks to all who helped.
