  • No Hang-Up Issue

    Sorry g00r00, and whoever else has looked into this. I don't think there is a hang-up issue (ghosting users who hung-up manually) on any BBS besides Alcoholiday.

    I tested it on another Linux BBS today - I hung up reading messages, immediately logged back in, hung up while editing a message, and logged back
    in immediately after.

    The issue is limited to Alcoholiday BBS. He uses a Raspberry Pi of some sort, uses who knows which version of Mystic, but oh well. I can say for sure that
    he uses some home-made Python scripts (cool ones!) but oh well.

    This is a popular BBS, and lots of people use it, so it's good enough the way it is I suppose.

    If people are using scripts and they aren't checking for the "shutdown()" then they can certainly lock up a process. MPL can override it but its absolutely a requirement with Python. So that could be part of it.

    It could also be an older version, who knows. Maybe we can investigate
    further sometime.

    Thanks for letting me know!
