Has anyone got a script that they are using to process fidonet mail as it is received. I am struggling with a second net, who processes file echos from Fidonet. so my BBBS just ignores the second file.

I was running bbbs bogus W/B and bbbs btick from a bash script. I feel doing it every minute is a waste of resources

Are you having an issue with the APOD area? I sometimes get an issue like that with the epod area myself. I have been considering renaming the files hatched in fsxNet with a different filename. If I know others had issues I would do that for the apod hatches.

I run my mailin.sh script every three minites and it seems to work well for me as long as there are no dupelicate filenames.

There was another way with modem calls to have BBBS exit and do mail and files but I don't think there is a way from ./bbbsd, at least not that I know of.

Hi Sean,

Has anyone got a script that they are using to process fidonet mail as it is received. I am struggling with a second net, who processes file echos from Fidonet. so my BBBS just ignores the second file.

I was running bbbs bogus W/B and bbbs btick from a bash script. I feel doing i
every minute is a waste of resources

I still use the cronfile I set up years ago.. it works well for me:

*/10 * * * * /home/bbbs/mailin.sh
*/16 * * * * /home/bbbs/mailout.sh

mailin.sh:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/bbbs
./bbbs bogus w > /dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs btick > /dev/null 2>&1
exit


mailout.sh:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/bbbs
./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1
exit

so I run mailin.sh every 10 min. and mailout.sh every 16 min.

Works for me :)

Take care,
Janis

Are you having an issue with the APOD area? I sometimes get an issue
like that with the epod area myself. I have been considering renaming

Yeah that's the issue I am hitting. I have put it onto a every 1 minute process to get around it, so far so good. It just happens that
sometimes, that both send me the same file almost at the same time

OK, I have renamed slightly the files going into FSX_IMGE so that shouldn't happen anymore for that area.

I have been using a basic script. Maybe I will push the boundary of my shell scripting :)

Mine is also very basic. I have been meaning to beef it up for years but I haven't gotten to it yet. ;)

My script has a test for usermail.flg and if found runs a mail scan. Something similar could be done based on gotmail.flg that is created on received mail. I'll include it below.

#!/bin/sh
# This script will toss incoming mail and files

export TZUTC="-0700"
export TZ="PDT+7"

cd /bbbs
./bbbs bogus w >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs btick >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs bfilsort >/dev/null 2>&1
./bbbs bfileidx >/dev/null 2>&1
touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2

# outgoing mail

if [ -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg ]; then
rm -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg
cd /bbbs
./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1
touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2
fi


The above is my mailin.sh script.

Ttyl :-),

... All right, so I like spending money! But name one other extravagance.

Thank you sire :) BTW, I am again CM, with a new static ip :)
