No, it's part of synchronet, and has 3 lines, just wanted to add a few more, but I can't find the file that creates it.

It's hard coded (in the C++ source file, writemsg.cpp, sbbs_t::automsg()). This is exactly the kind of code that should be replaced with some (easily modified) JavaScript, but that'll be some time in the future. And while porting to JS, I usually make things more configurable (via .ini file or whatever).

No, it's part of synchronet, and has 3 lines, just wanted to add a
few more, but I can't find the file that creates it.
The program that does this is called from the default.src baja menu. It calls a function that is in writemsg.cpp source code.
the auto-message is stored in:
/sbbs/data/msgs/auto.msg
or ./data/msgs/auto.msg under whatever folder you have Synchronet installed to.
Rather than editing the source to allow the default routine to allow input of more than 3 lines, I opted to just create the auto.msg file manually.
My system runs on linux and I created a shell script to pull random fortune quotes from specific modules . I run the script as an event and the auto message changes randomly thoughout the day.
If you create this file, you can make it as long as you like.
I was aware of that, but was looking for a way for users to be able to write longer messages. I've manually edited the file many times myself. Thanks for the reply.

create a JS edtor to do it, at the moment I'm running "postit notes" postit.js as a login event and have automessage disabled. it displays a full page of messages from users and afaik it does'nt have a limit on message lenght. if you do'nt like the way it looks, operates, it should be easy enough to get into it to mod.

I tried changing the colours for the auto message lines in text.dat but when I ran Sync they didn't change. Is there another file that has these lines because I looked and can't find it. Please help.

Jesus fuck, what the hell is wrong with you?
All public IP addreses (those not in 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, and 172.16.0.0/12 for the most part) are already known by the whole world. any time you connect to a website, that website can see your IP address. If you post a message, your IP is visible.
If you want to hide your IP, use a VPN. Don't expect to run a BBS on it, though.
Frank signs his messages with his real name because he gives no fucks if someone in BBS land knows it. In Fidonet real (or real sounding, at least) names are a requirement, so everyone in BBS land already knows everyone's real names.
1.5 seconds of googling will get you my real name too.

Yeah, I was thinking about that the other day. Though, I'd think
it should be stable in Windows.. But I believe DM runs his BBS
(at least one instance) in Windows, and if he had seen the same
issue, he may have fixed it by now. So perhaps something weird
is going on with my setup.
I do have one or two Win32 doors installed on my BBS that I'd
have to drop if I switched to Linux.. One of them is Ambroshia:
Test Of Time, which seemed somewhat popular for a while, but I'm
not sure how many users are playing that these days.
Not every Synchronet install is the same, nor every Synchronet BBS used identically by its users. So it's not unexpected that some bugs (e.g. memory leaks) may only appear on some BBSes or under specific use-cases. I do track the memory usage of my Synchronet instances for Vertrauen (Windows and Linux) and currently observe no memory leakage over long up-times (months).
Your Synchronet system likely has a lot of JS mods that aren't enabled/used in a default Synchronet install, so it's likely that some JS operations invoked by your mod(s) are triggering some bug not seen in a default/stock installation. Narrowing that down to a specific JS method or property usage would help identify the likely cause and solution to the problem.
FWIW: there are
4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses (32bits)
Not to niggle, but not every possible combination of 32-bits is a valid unicast IPv4 address. Millions of those bit combinatinos are reserved
for special purposes (broadcast, multicast) and millions more can't be used on the Internet (loopback, private networks). But yeah, it's in
the billions.

is not on maximize and the FTP tab is not selected.
I run it as a daemon. :P
How do you keep track of what's going on on your BBS? Do you
ever want to watch anything in real-time?

Very easy to do in Linux. I have multiple terminal windows open
which are "tailing" various log files. All activity (callers
logging in, echo/Dove mail coming in/going out, events,
everything) is right there in real time.
Plus, it looks cool. :-)
Then why don't we just post everyone's IP address and get it over with it, shall we?
I'm kinda impressed that just Googling Frank would list me anywhere near the top, lmao.
Then why do you want to logon to a failure's Bbs then?

Congratulations, according to my google search of the name "Frank"
(which googl e bases on my personal interests because they know more
about me than I know abo ut myself), your name is now Frank Castle.

Log files work. :) Besides, I don't have the time or screen real estate to monitor things. Maybe if I could get a small LCD to hang off the wall (and dedicated to the BBS machine), it would be worth doing. :)

tmux is a wonderful thing.

i just keep my monitoring windows in the background or on a virtual desktop so i can ALT-TAB or CTRL-Fx to them whenever i want/need to ;)
for example, right now, i have six windows open into one system i'm monitoring... there's another 4 or 6 windows open into another system being monitored as well... screen real estate? what's that and why is
it needed when we can stack windows behind each other or have them on virtual desktops and stacked on them? LUL

Your IP address is included automatically in message headers & such. People
just have to know where to look.

Are you sure you're not a spam bot? No-one can be this thick.
Spam Bots don't run BBSes, only Sysops do.

I guess I missed it. I saw I don't understand the reference. I must have quoted the wrong person. My apologies.
Hi DM. I'm assuming now that you're allowing the auto message to be edited, Line 43 in text.dat will read:
57 "\r\nAuto Message - ~Read, ~Write, ~Edit, or ~Quit: " 043 AutoMsg

You can't edit it... yet. But yeah, and ~delete is already an
option for sysops. So yeah, expect changes wrt how the text.dat
is used for automsg.js.

Hmmmm... I don't see any Delete option while logged in as the
sysop. Running recent CVS updated SBBS (v3.18a).

When I first started using Synchronet in 2007, with 3.14, I could've sworn there was an option (at least for the sysop) to delete the auto-message in the telnet interface, as I remember thinking it was odd when that option seemed to disappear.. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though.

It's not displayed on the prompt, but 'D' does work (in
automsg.js).

On a (sort of) related note - I've been trying out some of your DD
mods today, specifically ListTodaysCallers, MatrixLogin, Msg/FileAreaChooser, MsgReader, and really like them a lot. Sure
do appreciate the work and effort you've put into that. Thanks!
