Re: SBBSECHO Errors since 2/27 Build

Also running one of those sbbsecho command-lines manually (from a command prompt) and then reporting the output would be helpful. Usually, a stale lock file indicates that it's crashing for some reason. No other reports of SBBSecho crashing lately.

Just letting you know, as of build 3/2/22, the issue has cleared up, with no more problems.

Okay, good to know.

on another matter, is there a sbbsecho switch/option to delete/kill a bad packet, instead of just adding .bad extension to them. I looked in the wiki, but just don't see anything. Thanks in Advance.

No, it's not option. Deleting inbound/*.bad would be a one-line event or script though, if that's what you want to do.

You can use pktdump with the -split option on a bad packet and it'll
extract any good messages. I'm sure it could be scripted but I do it
manually when I spot them. At least you can salvage some messages from
a packet.

That worked fine, I was able to save alot of them with that method. What bugs me is I should not be getting that many bad packets from my hub. I get about 4 or 5 a day. I'm just going to make an event that will process the bad ones with pktdump, and delete when done. Thanks for the info.

I used to get them often from ilink but not so much any more.
Occasionally fsxnet. I think something was amiss somewhere that was
fixed with an update.
