So I was running tickitcfg today - and I couldnt get out of it.

When I choose "ESC" to exit, regardless of whether I answered yes or no to write the INI file, it kept taking me to the menu.

So I killed it and lunched it with STDERR going to a file, this is what was in it (of interest):

JavaScript: Destroying context
JavaScript: Destroying runtime

Re-running: tickitcfg
JavaScript-C 1.8.5 2011-03-31
JavaScript: Creating runtime: 8388608 bytes
JavaScript: Initializing context (stack: 16384 bytes)

Why was it "re-running"?

I lunched it with "jsexec -l tickitcfg 2> /tmp/z"

BTW: I also manually ran jsexec -l tickit to process some inbound tic files (and some that couldnt be processed because the error didnt exist) - and it was
stuck in a loop of processing the same two files over and over again - I think related :)

Why are you using -l?

-l loop until intentionally terminated

Maybe you wanted to use some other option?

Ahh crap, sorry, my bad.

I use -l <ftn address> with binkit sometimes, and I guess it got into my history.

(I knew it there was a simple reason....)

Then *that* '-l' would need to follow the script name.
