Are you talking about the duplicate message base? Go into the message base configuration as do a "/R" when the base is selected.

Yes.. Thats a perfect safe way to do this.
Just tried it and nothing melted.
All the messages are gone.
Thanks for the tip.

MUTIL already can purge messages by days old or number of messages :)

g00r00,

Any thoughts of adding a utility to add a text file to an existing sub-board from the command line?

Sincerely,

Isn't that already possible using MUTIL and the editing the [PostTextFiles] part of mutil.ini?

MUTIL can do it already :)

And you can do it from inside the BBS via menu command if the need should ever arise.

Posting text files as messages comes in handy for posting stats, echo rules, robot posts, Etc. Both BBBS and Mystic have that capability. I like the way MUTIL and it config functions are setup via the mutil.ini file. It allows a variety of tasks to be performed using a single config file.

The only possible change I could see is if a keyword could be used on the
MUTIL commandline that would cause MUTIL to only use a particular section of the mutil.in file. As in:

./mutil merge mutil.ini

Which would cause MUTIL to read the [MergeNodelists] section of the mutil.ini file. But I just may be overthinking things. :-) That that exists works fine.

It's already there. Take a look in the mutil.ini file. There is a stanza for posting a text file to a message base. That's what I'm using for the new file announcements, jokes, trivia questions, etc.

Most of us would create a merge.ini for that. In my case I called it nodelist.ini:
; nodelist.ini for Mystic Pi BBS bcw142.zapto.org
; from omutil.ini (Original mutil.ini)
;
; Purge, pack & merge nodelists
;
[General]

MergeNodeLists = true

logfile=mutil.log
maxlogfiles = 3
maxlogsize = 1000

; ==========================================================================
; ==========================================================================

[MergeNodeLists]


; Strip nodes marked as DOWN?
strip_down = true

; Strip nodes marked as PRIVATE?
strip_private = false

nodefile=/mystic/files/fsx_node/FSXNET
nodefile=/mystic/files/fsx_node/fsxnet
nodefile=/mystic/files/rtn_nodelist/RETRONET
nodefile=/mystic/files/rtn_nodelist/retronet

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- So ./mutil nodelist.ini does it and I can use DD (under Linux) to run it from
a menu item so anyone can update the nodelist live on the BBS.
