      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:153/7083 0b76e038       REPLY: 1:129/215 3584a2f9       TZUTC: 0800       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.              Edmund              ...
