Greetings All!

I noticed on my new setup (working almost perfectly) that binkd starts to execute my toss command but I get the rc code

05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] Running nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/hpt toss afix
05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] executing `nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/hpt toss afix'
05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] rc=17664


this is my binkd.cfg line, which worked fine on bbs when it was on the RPI now on VM does not appear to

exec "nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/hpt toss afix" /mystic/echomail/in/*.[STFWMstfwm][ouaherOUAHER][0-9A-Za-z]
exec "nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/htick toss scan" /mystic/echomail/in/*.tic *.TIC

Have you tried running that same command as the same user that binkd runs as, on the command line? And see what happens...

Maybe look at the hpt logs?

The first thing I would check are user permissions.

So still is not working. I can do it manually and it runs without errors. Binkd for some reason cannot seem to kick it off, I have tried doing a script in /usr/local/bin for binkd to run and it wont fire, but if I run it from any prompt it works as expected. Everything binkd or husky uses is in /fido/etc which my user owns and the bbs is in /mystic also which my user owns... ?

I did, no not needed as it turns out. Still wouldnt work however. So I made just a mail script and tried to have bink call that, still not working

06 Jan 14:30:01 [59431] executing `/usr/local/bin/mail-toss'
- 06 Jan 14:30:01 [59431] rc=17664

However I can run mail-toss from anywhere and it works... bizarre.

Show us your script. Do you have a shebang line in mail-toos?, like

#! /bin/sh
or
#! /bin/bash

Because the script would work without it from the shell, but might not work if it is executed by another process.

The opening " is essential! He did had it with his exec line that started with "nice...", but nice was specified without a path. So both instances could probably mean "file not found".

It turns out that binkd is running the script, but the mail is not tossing.. I put echo "processsing" > /tmp/test.txt
in the script and that file gets created, so script is running just not working?

Btw, how does this exit code happen? Is the script / hpt really returning this value or is it some weirdness in binkd? (I don't know if values > 255 can be returned at all).

It seems not possible to return values over 255 with bash, a little experimenting shows:

# bash -c 'exit 256'; echo $?
0
# bash -c 'exit 17664'; echo $?
0
# bash -c 'exit 0'; echo $?
0
# bash -c 'exit 1'; echo $?
1
# bash -c 'exit 3'; echo $?
3
# bash -c 'exit 255'; echo $?
255

Everything looks good in the log I've received from you. So, when you run the script manually, it works. And what happens if you put the following line to your binkd config:

Hello Rick,

I noticed on my new setup (working almost perfectly) that binkd
starts to execute my toss command but I get the rc code

05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] Running nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/hpt
toss afix 05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] executing `nice -n 19
/usr/local/bin/hpt toss afix' 05 Jan 06:42:59 [46710] rc=17664

17664=0x4500

The exit code returned by hpt is the higher byte, that is 0x45.
Something was wrong. Could you please set the log levels in your
hpt
config: LogLevels 1-90A-Za-z and specify the path to your hpt
config on the command line: /usr/local/bin/hpt -c
/path/to/config toss afix

I did as you suggested, I still have to run the script manually.
I will send you a netmail with the hpt.log attached.

Everything looks good in the log I've received from you. So, when you
run the script manually, it works. And what happens if you put the following line to your binkd config: exec "/usr/local/bin/hpt -c /path/to/hpt/config toss afix" /mystic/echomail/in/*.[STFWMstfwm][ouaherOUAHER][0-9A-Za-z]

got it working by adding config path to the script.. I have an "export FIDOCONFIG=/etc/ftn/config" in .bashrc is that not sufficient?

It should be sufficient. It looks like the environment is stripped. You may check it by printing the FIDOCONFIG variable before calling hpt:

echo "$FIDOCONFIG" > test.txt; /usr/local/bin/hpt toss afix

Put that in a script and mention its name in your binkd config

exec your_script /mystic/echomail/in/*.[STFWMstfwm][ouaherOUAHER][0-9A-Za-z]

If there is nothing in test.txt, then the value of FIDOCONFIG is lost and you must specify the config path.

No. From `man bash`:

"When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc then ~/.bashrc when those files exist and are readable. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.
