Ease of use my friend.  Little tools to make a sysops life easier.

I just use my BBS.  

 NA> What do you merge nodelist with?
 NA> How do you receive new nodelists? Fileechoes? Wget? Manual?

Mystic has a built in fido mailer/tosser.  It simply just runs the command.  We get them in via fileechos.  When I needed the feature I was troubleshooting something... admittedly its rarely used day to day.  All of that stuff is automated. 

 NA> Have you troubleshoot the issue with your script yet?

The message you replied to kinda indicated I figured out the issue ;)

 NA> What's your scripting language of choice here?

In this case its just MPL ...the internal scripting language of Mystic BBS.

 NA> Cygwin bash? hahaha

To each is own I guess..  its built in to every distro pretty much.
