hi,

mutil is always telling me it can't perform what importing or exporting messages bcs some nodes are busy.

in the /echomail dir always 63 .bsy files showing up just in the second i
start mutil. also a mutil.bsy shows up in /semaphore - what i expect so far.

but the 63 .bsy files are creepy :)

i flushed the complete /echomail dir. mbbsutil -fixindex and mutil with
purging messages. all without effects. mutil starts, and hangs by busy nodes.

if i delete the 63 .bsy files by hand mutil will run from importing messages without errors to exporting messages and hangs again. if i also kill .bs
files in this step of mutils work it will do its job and export all messages.

is there a file or something else that is wrongly telling mutil node are polling right now?

what can i do, that my board can toss messages without my help by deleting
.bsy files?

need help - thx!

They are normal and part of what Mystic creates each time a process to toss packets occurs. The correct way to clear them if you feel something is amiss
is to run

Fidopoll killbusy

i flushed the complete /echomail dir. mbbsutil -fixindex and mutil with purging messages. all without effects. mutil starts, and hangs by busy nodes.

Yep using mbbsutil is not needed nor necessary.

So is this happening only when you try to import packets or does it also
happen when you try to export packets?

Suggest you also set your logging to level 3 for MUTIL to help debug things :)

We'll get you sorted Fu :)

Best, Paul

I know release A36 takes care of most of these issues and can be downloaded
on mysticbbs.com.

Easier way vs manual remove of those bsy files is ./fidopoll killbusy

Happy Holidays, hope this helps out. :)

Cheers!

You are using an old version where there was a bug.

In the meantime you can run "fidopoll kill all" to remove them when it
happens.

I have to say since I've upgraded to A36, semaphore handling is much improved. I rarely have to run fidopoll killbusy nowadays, and when I do, it's likely something I did to cause that situation, not Mystic. Very happy with that now. :)
