I've been running GTKMonitor since I moved my BBS to Linux, and this morning I noticed GTKMonitor was showing (E) next to all my nodes. The wiki says that means the node will run its daily event (if one is specified) before waiting for another call:ãhttp://wiki.synchro.net/ref:node_statusããThe thing is, I don't have any daily event commands specified for any of my nodes. I'm wondering what might cause all the nodes to go into the E status? I closed and re-started sbbs and then none of my nodes were showing (E) status anymore.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

I think what you're describing is normal behavior.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #37:ãFTSC = FidoNet Technical Standards CommitteeãNorco, CA WX: 77.8øF, 53.0% humidity, 7 mph E wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I thinkã DM> what you're describing is normal behavior.ããThis morning I noticed the E status was on all my nodes again. I also noticed my BBS had not downloaded any new messages from the message networks. It also had not run its nightly events. I shut down and re-started sbbs, and it then ran the nightly events that were supposed to run hours ago, and it also ran the binkpoll and fidoin events and got new messages for the message networks.ããSo it seems something about my BBS is getting stuck somewhere. Do you know of anything I can check for to determine what might be getting stuck? Recently I had checked to see if Synchronet is writing an event log somewhere, but I didn't see an event log - maybe I just didn't know where to look. I'm wondering what log I might be able to check, if any. Or perhaps there's a DOS command I have in an event that's getting stuck and the window isn't showing?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

The log should point you to the last executed event before it got "stuck".ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet "Real Fact" #10:ãThe name "DOVE-Net" was suggested by King Drafus (sysop of The Beast's Domain)ãNorco, CA WX: 77.9øF, 58.0% humidity, 0 mph E wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
