Hi All,

I know I mentioned this before, but I don't remember if there is a way to do this.

I was wondering if there is a way to force an event to run. For example, I
have my nightly events set to run at 4:00AM. Last night, I had just gotten a binkp transfer, so my mailin.bat was running during that time.

If there was a way to force specific events to running, even if it's past the time they were scheduled for, would be wonderful.

Thanks,

Not really, it's why g00r00 added the flags so events won't butt heads so to speak. I avoid scheduling things for even hours like 4am except for mutil runs that don't go outside the box. I schedule polls on the half hour and other events at 15 minutes and 45 minutes passed the hour so they don't collide.
The only other thing you can do is make fancy scripts that check the flags
and wait till things aren't busy to poll or whatever. Just the way we used to back in the day (1980-2000).

Well I have a Batch File on my Windows Desktop that runs the Fidopoll and
Mutil MailIn as well as a Batch File to Process Galactic Dynasty and my Break the Web Maintenance routines.

If you are running Mystic in Linux I can't help you there... I just run
Windows XP for the BBS.

I had already done that with my other events. I'm not sure why I didn't
change the nightly events... :)

I just changed them to 4:15. We'll see what happens.

I may end up doing that, or just using the Windoze scheduler to run the
nightly events...

I just wasn't sure if I was missing something somewhere... :)

Thanks,

Do you use the Windoze scheduler to run them at a specific time?

This is on the Win10 system. I have no problems with the Linux system,
although that system isn't quite a busy as this one can be. (at least with
mail transfers)

Thanks,

No, I run them manually.
