I'm not sure if it works differently under Windows, but under Linux
the /W always shows users as browsing menus.

It would be great if it could show what door they are running instead.

And I'm not sure if it's related or not, but the door directions
on how to use a semaphore to lock a door to only run one node at a
time -- That works, unless they dropped carrier in the door. Mystic
doesn't clean up the semaphore file, so the door gets locked out.

Does Mystic know they are in a door in Linux? Could Mystic finish
running the menu "commands" on disconnect?

Like:

!E Check for semaphore yt.inuse
GT Display line of text OK Game in use. Try later. |PA
!C Create semaphore !OK yt.inuse
DD Exec external program !OK ./dosdoor %3 "doors/yt.bat" %3 /DOS
!D Delete semaphore !OK yt.inuse

I reminded of the days when hanging up on doors would mess up the
BBS. I don't really want to relive those days. ;)

Set a command before executing the door with the menucmd NA, then in the Data field, put what you'd like for a Who's Online listing to show.

So, like:

Command: NA
Data: Playing LORD

Command: DD
Data: <command to run LORD>

The challenge is Mystic doesn't have individual configurations for doors, so you can do this but you have to set the "Node action" yourself when they execute the door using a menu command.

If/when I redo the door system I will make door profiles that you can set if its single node, or if the node action should be set and so on but I haven't done that yet.

I'll check into it. I changed the way carrier dropping worked a while back and I bet it broke some things.

Actually, maybe instead of that I can just build out those door profiles for A45 instead!

I learned something new. That is indeed working for the doors.

Thank you.

Ah ha! I didn't know about NA, but I do now. :D

I have the perfect door to test it with. And the door likes to lock up syncterm. :O

There is a way to do this.. In the menu option for what you are doing, say
you are playing BRE in the Doors menu, before the option to run BRE add in a
NA (Set Node Action) which says in the data portion Playing BRE! You can do this for everything on the BBS although quite a bit of work it can be done..
I am doing it on my board for anything new that I am adding when I am in the menu system..

I am thinking a lot about just adding in the door profiles before I address this issue, then Mystic can just manage those semaphores behind the scenes and you don't need that mess of menu commands. It was always a kludge bandaid to a problem anyway.

The idea for the profiles would be that they'll either be stored as INI files or at least exportable or something, so people can easily share door configurations.
