Hey DM,

I think think the file glob is resolving in MSGMAINT.

Ive noticed that my message base is not pruning, and discovered that MSGMAINT doesnt run:

Oct 25 05:00:01 p-1-1 synchronet: evnt MSGMAINT *.shd doesn't exist (use -c to create)

The event is configured as:
%!smbutil%. mp1000 *.shd */*.shd

(Most of my subs are in dirs in ../data/subs - eg: ../data/subs/fsx/)

Do you know why isnt it resolving the file glob? How do I fix it?

Native Executable and Use New Shell are both set to yes

Howdy,

I think think the file glob is resolving in MSGMAINT.

OK, forget this.

Its funny how the penny drops after you press send. I assume the current path is set to ../data/subs and I have no shd's in that path - mail is above it, and my network subs are in a dir below it.

What is start-up directory set to? Assuming its set to ../data/subs (the default), and if you don't have any sub data in data/subs, that would explain the error. Just remove the "*.shd" from the command-line in that case.
