Is there anyway to be able to view the progress of SBBSecho Fido Tosser while it's running? It's working fine
but I like to see it when it starts to process. The way it is now it just runs in the aground and the only way I
know it has even ran is the event tab and then it don't give stats or progress.

Thanks.
Kent

if you are on linux, just tail the sbbsecho.log file...

eg:
tail -F /sbbs/data/sbbsecho.log

you can use a stats program to show it ran and then view it.
there's a couple.

i used to have a program that would tail my apache logs in real time and then colorize it.

I create a log when it's running...

For incoming...

sbbsecho -d > c:\sbbs\events\inerror.log

I use the -d switch so incoming netmail isn't deleted, so I can use htick as a file processor.


For outgoing...

sbbsecho > c:\sbbs\events\outerror.log


Everytime you run it it will overwrite the previous file.

Works here...

When SBBSecho runs, it outputs to the local console and to a log file (by default, data/sbbsecho.log). There is *some* output that only goes to the console, but almost everything (most anything you'd need to see) goes to both the console and the log file. So viewing the log file in real-time (e.g. "tail -f") should probably give you what your looking for and/or you could redirect the output of the sbbsecho process to a specific console or file.
