|    Polling With MBSE    |
|    25 Aug 18 09:59:27    |
      Just a quick question.. How do you make MBSE actually poll out.. I'm using the       correct mbout commandline but all it does is create the poll, but never       actually makes the network call...               [snip]              mbse@ghostrider:~/log$ mbout p f426.n229.z1.fidonet.org              MBOUT: MBSE BBS 1.0.7.3 Outbound Manager        Copyright (C) 1997-2017 MBSE Development Team, All Rights Reserved              Created poll for 1:229/426@fidonet              [snip]               and the logs              [snip]                     mbse@ghostrider:~/log$ cat system.log        25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003]        25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003] MBOUT v1.0.7.3        25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003] Command line: mbout p       f426.n229.z1.fidonet.org       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003] getnlent: 1:229/426@fidonet system name       override with bbs.darkrealms.ca       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003] Created poll for 1:229/426@fidonet        25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbout[4003] MBOUT finished in 0.00s              [snip]              and the task log              [snip]       mbse@ghostrider:~/log$ cat mbtask.log       p 25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbtask[2568] last message repeated 5 times       - 25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbtask[2568] Registered client pgm "mbout", pid 4003,       slot 2, mailers 0, TCP/IP 0       - 25-Aug-2018 09:56:00 mbtask[2568] Unregistered client pgm "mbout", pid 4003,       slot 2, mailers 0, TCP/IP 0       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:20 mbtask[2568] Scanning outbound at 13:56 UTC.       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:20 mbtask[2568] getnlent: 1:229/426@fidonet system name       override with bbs.darkrealms.ca       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:20 mbtask[2568] Flavor Out Size Online Modem         ISDN TCP/IP Calls Status Mode Address       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:20 mbtask[2568] .....P ...C .. 0 00000001 00000000       00000000 00000004 0 Ok Inet 1:229/426       + 25-Aug-2018 09:56:20 mbtask[2568] Systems to call: Inet=1, ISDN=0, POTS=0,       Next event at 00:00 UTC              [snip]                     The poll sits there forever until I tell mbut to end it, but it never actually       makes the call.. I have to force it to call using mbcico .. or is this how its       supposed to be done?              mbcico -a bbs.darkrealms.ca:24554 -t ibn f426.n229.z1.fidonet.org              ...              I'm at a loss.. if you have to manually tell it to poll that kind of refutes       the point of using mbout lol                               Greetings, Dave Vandermeer              ...
