All,

While I'm being a pain (LOL), I thought I would ask about a new issue that I
am having. I thought I would start here because I'm not sure where the
issue is coming from. I am linking to bbslink.net (Door Games) and now that
I have upgraded Mystic, I'm getting a "hang state" when I launch the linked doors. If I go into Linux and perform a "kill" function on the duplicate
batch script, things work fine, otherwise, I have to drop the connection to
the BBS resulting in a ghost session.

mystic 8942 8305 0 12:05 pts/2 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c /mystic/doors/bbslink.sh menu 1
mystic 8943 8942 0 12:05 pts/2 00:00:00 /bin/bash /mystic/doors/bbslink.sh menu 1
mystic 8944 8943 0 12:05 pts/2 00:00:00 /bin/bash /mystic/doors/bbslink.sh menu 1

Above is an example of the "ps -ef" command when I launch the door. In this case, if I do a "kill 8944" from the command prompt the actual door server
will then pop up. Does anyone have an idea why I might be getting two bbslink.sh scripts running after only pushing the menu item in my door menu once?

Thanks,

Robert

All,

As an update, I found on the bbslink.net site that they also have a python script to launch the site, as well as the bash script. If I switch to the python script, the site comes up correctly. I guess it adds to the mystery.

Take Care,

Robert

It is the strangest thing, the bash scripts worked flawlessly for me for over
a year and then recently just stopped working. Glad the python version
works, it even seems faster to launch.

I wasn't able to get the bash script to work, so I just use the python script for running the bbslink doors.

I never bothered trying to work out what was wrong ... or what I was doing wrong. The python script worked and anything for a simple life.

If you are using mystic, the mystery is the mystery... which for some strange reason reminds me of the game Clue.
