    Nevermind. I just realized this is going to be in the terminal log, or I would hope so. Will close for now.

    When I have chat via mqtt implemented, then I definitely will be representing a sysop-chat page-status via mqtt as well.

    For now I'm just subscribed to term/log and my dashboard backend has a "switch" node so if the payload contains "paging sysop" or something like that then I can go off and update the dash, so I have a decent workaround.

    What is mqtt? Is that a new messaging protocol?

    What is mqtt?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT

    Is that a new messaging protocol?

    Not in the traditional BBS definition of a "messaging protocol", but yes, a messaging protocol.

    Basically sbbs spews a load of messages into a broker. A client can
    then log into this broker and subscribe to "topics", that is like a
    path to the data that is being sent. You can then use the client to
    redisplay the data however you may want to.

    I'm using mosquitto as the broker on the same host as the bbs. It's
    lightweight and very easy to configure. I don't think I needed to
    change anything.

    I then loaded up node-red after ensuring I had node18 installed first.

    Also, SBBS can pick up messages coming the other way, so on my control
    panel I have buttons that allows me to recycle each of the services.

    This is just an example of what can be done.
