Hello Rick,

 RS> I am in the process of moving my BBS (mystic,binkd,hpt) works
 RS> flawlessly and as expected. I moved the everything to a new machine
 RS> with same user name etc so all file structures are the same, the only
 RS> thing changed is I had to build binkd which gave me a new version
 RS> which is binkd-1.1a-112 and now no mail tosses at all it just sits in
 RS> my inb.  The first go after receiving mail as part of binkd.cfg it
 RS> would run the exec line with my tosser but fail for some reason. I
 RS> reinstalled now in bink log it shows creating semaphore but doesnt
 RS> even attempt to run the exec line to run hpt... Has anyone else ran
 RS> into this?  The working copy on my bbs is -111 can perhaps someone
 RS> give me a link to that?

You can use flag files (semaphores) if your tosser uses them, like Synchronet or you can use exec lines.

I haven't used flag files for a while. I use an exec line like this with hpt..


==== Begin: "rick.txt"  ====
exec "/usr/local/bin/hpt-incoming.sh" *.[pP][kK][tT] *.[STFWMstfwm][ouaherOUAHER][0-9A-Za-z] *.[tT][iI][cC]
==== End: "rick.txt" ====

That's all one line.

 Ttyl :-),
