I'm responsible for a local Net/Host segment in another msg network. I would like to have the changes I make to the local control file included in the Mystic nodelist on the day that I make the changes (as opposed to waiting
until the updated zone list arrives on Friday. Im using makeNL for segment creation.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Michael,

I'm responsible for a local Net/Host segment in another msg network. I would like to have the changes I make to the local control file
included in the Mystic nodelist on the day that I make the changes (as opposed to waiting until the updated zone list arrives on Friday. Im
using makeNL for segment creation.

You could try adding your netseg to the MergeNodelists section of your mutil.ini and run it. That might create dupes or other issues, I haven't tried it so I don't know.

You could cut the original segment out of the data/nodelist.txt and replace it with your updated segment. That's an extra step to take but I think that would work.

Hey Al,

I tried that but it produced dupes. My MakeNL config does not produce a segment file with Zone data. Im sure that this confuses Mutil. I cannot remember if I can configure MakeNL to produce a segment file which includes
the Zone but I guess Ill look into that.

You could cut the original segment out of the data/nodelist.txt and replace it with your updated segment. That's an extra step to take but I think that would work.

Yeah, thats more effort than I want to put in. I may get one node add in a year. This is just an 'Im bored, so Ill work on the board' project.

As Im reading through my response it occurs to me that I could try manually adding the Zone to the segment file to see if that works! That could be a solution.

Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with makeNL but I assume it can also spit out the full nodelist when processed with your segment? If so you can do that and process it as you would any other nodelist using MUTIL.

Just make sure you don't send that one to me, and keep it for personal use only - or you may break things. ;)

Regards,
Nick

Hey g00r00!

and process it as you would any other nodelist using MUTIL.

I found that I could do that with MakeNL but it is easier (and less chance of upsetting my uplink if I just copy the segment from the filebox to a local folder and edit it, adding the zone before merging with mutil. I add nodes infrequently but when I do I want them available in Mystic immediately.

Thanks for your time and advice!
