Hi all,ããI found my problem with tickit not calling addfiles.exe correctly in Windowsã10.ãEverytime the .exe is called from tickit.js, the output is :ãã SBBSCTRL environment variable not set.ããSo i thought it would be an easy fix to just issue a setx sbbsctrl =ã\sbbs\ctrl.ããBut that did not do the trick.ããI tried creating a batch file which would issue a set SBBSCTRL before callingãaddfiles.exe, i still get the same error message.ããI also modified the JS to issue a process.env call to set the environmentãvariables before the call.ããI am not a JS expert but it looks as if Javascript is not using the environmentãvariables.ãAny ideas ?ããThanks :)ã---ã þ Synchronet þ ElGringo BBS - bbs.el-gringo.caã

Be mindful of that when trying random code that you find on Stack Overflow or whatever.ãã---ãechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

Or create a simple one line module (e.g. mods/getenv.js) to dump the environment and run it via jsexec:ã print(JSON.stringify(env, null, 4));ãto confirm you see "SBBSCTRL" in its output.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #91:ãCaptured chat with Wayne Bell: http://wiki.synchro.net/history:waynebell_chatãNorco, CA WX: 97.5øF, 17.0% humidity, 2 mph NW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
