Hi synchronet users

it's possible to delay the Fonction , sbbsecho.exe -linf
or RUN at the end of the call automaticly
for now it's run everytime i post a message
i prefer SBBS to handle it and not use a .BAT to scan msgs.......

sbbsecho is generally triggered in the event system by the presence of the semaphore FIDOOUT... disable that event or modify it to execute at a specific time... if you disable it, you might be able to run sbbsecho as a logout event... you might want to have it not run if there are other users logged in...

Synchronet should have an event set up by default that does that, called FIDOOUT, in SCFG > External Programs > Timed Events, which is set to run a certain number of times per day.. I have never heard of sbbsecho being run every time a message is posted as you are describing.

ok... let us know how it works ;)

by default, it does... if your's is going a certain times, you must have changed it at some point ;)

this is one of the things that max and i ran into... one of us asked about how to change it some months back... the way we discovered it was because when we went to edit messages that we had written, we found that they had already been scanned out and sent off... watching the sbbsecho.log file confirmed this...

Interesting.. I don't think I've changed my setting for the FIDOOUT event. Maybe I did and I forgot I changed it.

you should not be running that crap after every call, or everytime you
post a msg.

i've always disabled that stuff and ran all my polls from a batchfile.

Interesting.. I don't think I've changed my setting for the FIDOOUT
event. Maybe I did and I forgot I changed it.

possibly... IIRC, and without going and specifically looking, that event is set
up as a semaphore event thus the use of FIDOOUT to trigger it... in the case of
a system wanting to execute the event at logoff, they have to use a different method... i have a neuron kicking at me hindbrain saying that there's some place that the FIDOOUT semaphore is also specified and that it has something to
do with when messages are posted but that neuron may be being confused by another aspect of sync's events being able to be triggered by creating a semaphore based on the event's internal name or something like that...

Already done. Will appear normal this Friday. My mistake. Put the Down on the wrong node.

That is the expected behavior when the EchoMail Sempahore File or the Sub-board's Semaphore File is set (in SCFG) to trigger the SBBSecho export event (e.g. FIDOOUT.NOW). Usually it's considered a "feature" to have the mail go out ASAP. :-)

the default sbbs installation does exactly this... perhaps you mean that folks should know more about the software they are using than that which is normally available??? does anyone remember what it means to install software with the defaults and they are actually meaningful without causing problems for any other systems?????

exactly! but the problem appears when one wants to edit their original post to clean up things or clarify something... that's when the python bites one in the
ass...

in other words, not really as good an idea as was originally thought ;)

Sometimes I've wished editing messages was more of a standard in internet email. I've worked for companies that have used Microsoft Outlook for email, along with Microsoft's Exchange email server, which has a "message recall" feature - You can use message recall to basically cancel your email, edit it, and send a new version of your email. It works best when the recipient(s) have not yet received your original email; otherwise, they will see your original email and also get a recall notice along with your new email.

man that's the default setting? that's fucking stupid.
might be okay for someone that gets one call a day but there were times when some of my bbses were getting 20 or more calls a day.

i'm glad i disabled all that stuff and did hourly events.

yeah, that's a poorly thought out feature that should be removed.
