  • .bsy files

    From Immortal@21:1/185 to All on Sunday, December 11, 2016 21:25:00
    So my mutil stopped importing echomail/netmail a few hours ago because it was saying "nodes were in use". Nobody was online and no processes appeared to
    be running. I found some .bsy files in c:\mystic\echomail\out\fidonet and c:\mystic\echomail\out\fsxnet.015 directories. Once I deleted them mutil started importing again. Any idea what these are from or why they are here?

    0001000a.bsy
    008000bb.bsy
    00010064.bsy

    Thanks

    These mean it was attempting to either send/receive from that hub and got
    stuck and the process left in a bad state. When it does this it leaves a
    .bsy file in folders and or the sema or ALL.

    Best way to clear these is to run fidopoll killbusy to remove any and all bsy files that it might have created.

    Cheers!

    from the 1.12 whats new file

    + MUTIL now creates a mutil.bsy file in the semaphore directory. If this
    file exists, MUTIL will refuse to run - preventing multiple instances of
    MUTIL to be executed at the same time. If the BSY file has existed for more
    than a day, MUTIL will remove it and run as expected.

    + FIDOPOLL now creates a "fidopoll.bsy" in the Semaphore directory while its
    running. This works in the same way as MUTIL does to prevent multiple
    instances of itself from running.

    + FIDOPOLL and MIS BINKP now use a .BSY file system. These files are created
    alongside the .out files when queuing and sending mail for a node. If the
    .BSY file already exists for that node, Mystic will not queue mail for that
    node. If the .BSY file is more than a day old, Mystic will assume the .BSY
    file was accidentally left over from a stopped process and will exchange
    mail for that node as requested.

    + FIDOPOLL now has a "killbusy" command which will delete any existing .bsy
    flags for all echomail nodes. Note that this does not remove the program
    specific bsy files for MUTIL, MIS, FIDOPOLL, etc, just the echomail nodes.

    For now you can also run "killbusy all" and it will kill even the .BSY
    flags for the various tools such as MIS MUTIL and FIDOPOLL. But this is
    undocumented and HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED to use. In no circumstance should
    a .BSY file ever be removed when MUTIL MIS or FIDOPOLL is running. This is
    a convience feature because the BSY system is new and may have quirks.

    thats the jist but i hope this helps..

    The .bsy are semaphore files but sometimes can be useful ./fidopoll killbusy to fix the issue.

    Yea they are to tell fidopoll and mutil that the node address already has something happening and not to do anything until it's done, but sometimes bsy files dont get deleted so just fidopoll killbusy
