• All nodes with (E) status

    From Nightfox@1:103/705 to All on Tue Jun 14 10:31:44 2022
    I've been running GTKMonitor since I moved my BBS to Linux, and this morning I noticed GTKMonitor was showing (E) next to all my nodes. The wiki says that means the node will run its daily event (if one is specified) before waiting for another call:
    http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:node_status

    The thing is, I don't have any daily event commands specified for any of my nodes. I'm wondering what might cause all the nodes to go into the E status? I closed and re-started sbbs and then none of my nodes were showing (E) status anymore.

    That's correct, the 'E' status is set without regard to whether or not any daily events are actually configured for a specific node.

    I'm wondering what might cause all the nodes to go into the E
    status?

    It happens ever night. But the flag is auto-cleared too by sbbs.

    I closed and re-started sbbs and then none of my nodes were showing (E) status anymore.

    Normally, they'll get cleared automatically when the node is connected to by a client (or when an already connected client disconnects). I think what you're describing is normal behavior.
