• Toss FDN/TIC Files Waiting for BUSY nodes

    From bcw142@21:1/145 to Avon on Sun Feb 21 19:23:55 2021
    I updated my main BBS to A47C from 2/12 and it looks to me files are causing the busy issues I'm seeing:
    ----------------- MUTIL v1.12 A47 2021/02/12 Sun, Feb 21 2021 (loglevel 3)
    + Feb 21 19:04:29 Startup using mailin.ini
    - Feb 21 19:04:29 EXEC ImportEchoMail
    - Feb 21 19:04:29 EXEC LinkMessages
    - Feb 21 19:04:29 EXEC FileToss
    + Feb 21 19:04:29 Process: Toss FDN/TIC Files
    + Feb 21 19:04:29 Waiting for BUSY nodes

    So it looks to me like junk in /mystic/files/badfiles and I should likely just delete everything in the badfiles, does that sound right to you?
    Most of it seems to be from years past and I deleted it once before, but that was before I upgraded to the 2/12 alpha, but it's re-appeared. Not sure why,

    stuff in your bad files dir should not be causing a bsy issue.. but either
    way if you wish to delete those files it's entirely up to you. They will have ended up there because of a mix of crc issues, missing tic files, bad
    passwords etc.

    Have you tried shutting down your server, and running fidopoll killbusy all ?

    Then try an manual run of mutil using your mailin and mailout ini files to
    see what happens.

    Yes, I did and do so much I've made it a script called busyfix:
    #!/bin/bash
    # busyfix
    # From AVON on fidopoll busy (now ./mis poll busy)
    #Chances are you have a ton of unprocessed packets in your BBS inbound.
    #
    #Check the mutil logs to see if it's reporting things are BUSY so not #processing them.
    #If this is the case, stop MIS
    sudo killall mis
    sleep 10
    #and then run the 'fidopoll killbusy all' command
    ./mis poll killbusy all
    sleep 2
    ./mutil mailin.ini
    #see if they process in...
    #Then restart MIS
    sleep 5
    ./mutil mailout.ini
    sleep 5
    sudo ./mis daemon

    Just ran it so things are clean right now, but in a few hours it will clog up again. Thinking of adding an Event to check /mystic/echomail/out/*.bsy and
    run if it is! The real issue is why? I get that it happens now and again, but with the current setup it's near hourly.
