• .BSY files

    From Charles Pierson@21:4/127 to All on Saturday, December 26, 2020 16:10:33
    Yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and my dogs knocked the power cord loose for my phone. Normally it's not a big deal, but my phone was really needing
    to charge, so shut down.

    Apparently mutil was running at thee time, because when I turned the phone
    back on and restarted the BBS, it kept giving a res1 error when the m8s
    server tried to run mutil. After a few minutes, I found mutil.bsy was in the semaphore directory, deleted it, and all is good now.

    However, in case for some reason in the future this were to happen again, is there some way to check on startup for .bsy files and delete them automatically?

    Thanks

    Todd Solaris from Error 404 created a bat file which deletes all .bsy files
    and resets the BBS, I am sure you can convert it to Linux. I have used it in the past on Windows and it works flawlessly..

    You can add: mis poll killbusy all

    Somewhere in there before you startup Mystic, that will delete any and all of the .bsy files.

    If you're starting MIS (Mystic Internet Servers) through systemd, you can add the following to the [Service] stanza of your mis.service file (or whatever
    you call it):

    ExecStartPre=-/mystic/mis POLL KILLBUSY all
    ExecStopPost=-/mystic/mis POLL KILLBUSY all

    (Adjust the paths to the 'mis' binary as needed.)

    Best regards

    Lol, you know - I still haven't bothered to put my BBS in a system service yet?! And I have like 4 things that I have to keep loaded for it now. :P

    I went ahead and grabbed this msg... just so I can cheat and have everything ready for me when I do... Heck, I have to add mystic, talisman, doorparty, MRC... you know the drill - I swear, I have to VNC in and load all four things everything my BBS box goes down. :P

    One of these days....

    I don't have Mystic running a service yet either. I have a .sh script set to run Mystic on startup, but at ryan's advice I just setup DoorParty as a service.

    I might try and get Mystic setup the same way soon.
