Not to stick my unknowing nose in, but I am doing things a whole lot differently on my new Linux based setup (your mileage may vary) I just have a scr file which loads up another scr file which is basically cd /mystic then ./mis server
In fact I have this same scr file load the BBS, mrc, my interbbs file server (mystic based) my login server, doorparty, all in tabs in one terminal box.. No issues with python, or cryptlib. I am not saying this is the way to go, but it is working for me. In fact I could probably set up a cron event to run the bbs.scr on boot up so if the virtual machine does reboot the BBS will come back up (after I add in a semaphore file delete).. If I am way off base here I apologize...
