Mystic problem in A17, I just found mis wasn't running and my experimental board wasn't up. Why? your new mis.bsy exists in Semaphore and YES it was in daemon mode. In this case it was under x64 Linux, Here's what I saw: bcw@leno:/mystic$ ps aux | grep mis
bcw 3333 0.0 0.1 322632 5440 ? Sl Jun09 0:01 /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5
bcw 10787 0.0 0.0 15948 2200 pts/10 S+ 09:15 0:00 grep --color=auto mis
bcw@leno:/mystic$ sudo ./mis -d
[sudo] password for bcw:
MIS is already running (mis.bsy exists in Semaphore directory) bcw@leno:/mystic$ ps aux | grep mis
bcw 3333 0.0 0.1 322632 5444 ? Sl Jun09 0:01 /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5
bcw 10796 0.0 0.0 15948 2164 pts/10 S+ 09:15 0:00 grep --color=auto mis

So not only wasn't the BBS up, but I couldn't put it up!
bcw@leno:/mystic$ ls semaphore
mis.bsy
bcw@leno:/mystic$ rm semaphore/*
rm: remove write-protected regular empty file semaphore/mis.bsy? y
Then I got mis to work. There needs to be some type of crash recovery as well as a way to deal with normal shutdowns (which is what led to this).
