  • Timed Event - "Enabled = No" still executes event

    Did you recently change it to Disabled maybe and the SBBS event thread didn't recycle the configuration?

    There's certainly code (in main.cpp) to skip timed events that are disabled:

    ```
    /* Timed Events */
    for (i = 0; i < sbbs->cfg.total_events && !sbbs->terminated; i++) {
    if (sbbs->cfg.event[i]->node > sbbs->cfg.sys_nodes)
    continue; // ignore events for invalid nodes

    if (sbbs->cfg.event[i]->misc & EVENT_DISABLED)
    continue;
    ```

    Yes, the event thread runs in the terminal server, so any changes to event configuration (e.g. in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events) requires a successful recycle of the terminal server for the event thread to "see" those changes.

    Ah in which case, I'll close this issue.

    Thanks for the support.
