   Hi g00r00,   
      
    g0> It looks like you are running the BBS as user bbs in the group users, so   
    g0> I would say first thing to try is: Shut everything down and do a chown   
    g0> to make sure the user has permissions for everything:   
      
   I've tried the following:   
      
   1) sudo ./mystic -l   
      Result: boots to prompt after ~4-5 minutes.   
      
   2) shutdown mis,  chown -R bbs.users mystic,  start mis, sudo ./mystic -l   
      Result: boots to prompt after approx. same time frame.   
      
   Both ways have the following in the errors.log file (w/ different pid):   
      
   2021.22.11 08:49:00 MYSTIC 002 Cannot write to /mystic/data/chat2.dat. CODE=2,   
   PID=30423   
   2021.22.11 09:17:55 MYSTIC 002 Cannot write to /mystic/data/chat2.dat. CODE=2,   
   PID=30516   
      
   That said, I do notice an event being run before 09:17:55.   
      
   09:17:53 EVENT    Sending shutdown notice to node: 2   
   09:17:53 EVENT    Resetting ghost node: 2 (Invalid server slot)   
   09:20:03 EVENT    Running event: Poll echomail   
   09:20:03 EVENT    Cmd: ./mis poll   
   09:20:03 EVENT    Res: 0   
      
   So I'm guessing that there is an event on my system that's killing the node.     
   I'm still wondering if it's related to the next event (Poll echomail).   
      
   I do have a regular event which polls my uplink; but I don't quite see why it   
   would kill the 2nd Node (I'm currently on two nodes) and not both nodes.   
   So I'm assuming that's just a coincidence since it killed the node and then   
   waited 2 minutes later before polling.   
      
   Unfortunately, I'm looking at the events in the Event editor and I don't see   
   something which would kill just an idle node after ~ 4 to 5 minutes.   
   I do have Inactivity set to 300 and I do have Disable Time to Yes.  So for a   
   bit of fun, I set the Inactivity to 10 to see what happens as that's the only   
   thing that's related to 5 minutes (300 seconds).  (Yes, just grasping at   
   straws right now)   
      
   After changing that setting, I restarted mis and logged in but after 10   
   seconds, nothing happens.  So not sure still.
