   Hmmm.. Well, I suppose a dirty hack would be to make it do that to my   
   /sbbs/data/fidoout.now, regardless of content.   
      
   My alternative has been to change the golded shell script to trap the exit code   
   (aka return code, aka error-level), and if it's between 1 and 7, touch the   
   fidoout.now file. But of course /that/ only happens when I exit GED+. heh   
      
   Thanks.. I'll try this though. Content doesn't matter, just the file being   
   created. LOL. Synchronet will simply trigger the event and delete the file   
   ignoring content.
