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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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 :)

I will try that
