• Mystic 1.12 A45 - nodelist not being updated

    Hi,

    I recently rebooted my old BBS, that I ran in the 90s using Mystic.

    When running mutil maint, it seems, that it merges the nodelist.

    + Apr 13 13:01:14 Results: Merged 2 of 2 nodelist(s) in 0.00s

    But it never stores or updates the nodelist.txt file in /opt/mystic/data

    I'm running Mystic 1.12 A45 on 32-bit Linux.

    I'm a bit puzzled, as to why that is ?

    Nevermind. I have actually figured out, where I went wrong. I had the directories specified in the maint.ini, but not the prefix of the nodelist filename.

    Can you please post the lines you use in your ini file?
