Hello Cozmo!

The Event Type should be "Shell"; a "BBS" event merely kicks out all users currently being logged on. See http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=whats_new_110 (search for "TYPE2") for a more detailed description of the different event types. =)

You can let it execute maint.exe, i.e. there's no need for a .BAT file if that's all the .BAT file would do.

Events execute with the Mystic "base" directory as the current working directory, so you can probably specify doors\apoc\maint.exe as the path if you wish.

Hope this helps!

Best regards
Zip
