   OK, I have renamed slightly the files going into FSX_IMGE so that shouldn't   
   happen anymore for that area.   
      
    SR> I have been using a basic script. Maybe I will push the boundary of my

   Mine is also very basic. I have been meaning to beef it up for years but I   
   haven't gotten to it yet. ;)   
      
   My script has a test for usermail.flg and if found runs a mail scan. Something   
   similar could be done based on gotmail.flg that is created on received mail.   
   I'll include it below.   
      
   #!/bin/sh   
   # This script will toss incoming mail and files   
      
   export TZUTC="-0700"   
   export TZ="PDT+7"   
      
   cd /bbbs   
   ./bbbs bogus w >/dev/null 2>&1   
   ./bbbs btick >/dev/null 2>&1   
   ./bbbs bfilsort >/dev/null 2>&1   
   ./bbbs bfileidx >/dev/null 2>&1   
   touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2   
      
   # outgoing mail   
      
   if [ -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg ]; then   
       rm -f /bbbs/work/usermail.flg   
       cd /bbbs   
       ./bbbs bogus r > /dev/null 2>&1   
       touch /bbbs/work/rescan.2   
   fi   
      
      
   The above is my mailin.sh script.   
      
    Ttyl :-),   
            Al   
      
   ... All right, so I like spending money!  But name one other extravagance.
