      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 2:201/137 c58aac69       TZUTC: 0100       Hello again, g00r00!              On 02 Feb 2022, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...        BW> g0> BW> mutil complains about not being able to find mutil.ini, despite         BW> g0>         BW> g0> I'll put that in the build I am going to put out later today give it         BW> g0> shot when you can! :)        BW>         BW> Thanks a lot! Sounds great! I'll try it out and let you know the results!              I just tested this, but noticed the following --              1) When specifying a path to an INI file, mutil appears to fail to find       mystic.dat unless it is located in the current working directory:              bbs@glimmer:~$ mutil /mnt/bbs/mystic/maint.ini        Load configuration Missing MYSTIC.DAT FATAL       2022.02.02 21:43:23 MUTIL 000 Cannot read MYSTIC.DAT              Would it be possible for mutil to look for mystic.dat (too) in the directory       specified by the mysticbbs environment variable if it cannot find it in the       current directory?              2) Would it be possible to extend this "looking for INI file" to other INI       files than mutil.ini?              bbs@glimmer:~$ mutil maint.ini        Load configuration Missing file FATAL       2022.02.02 21:41:08 MUTIL 000 Invalid INI file: maint.ini              Here I would have wished for mutil to look for maint.ini in the current       directory, and if it didn't find it there, to look for it in the directory       specified by the mysticbbs environment variable.              Obviously, this would/should only apply to INI file names without a path (i.e.       only to INI file names not containing any backslashes or slashes).              As usual, many thanks in advance! =)              Best regards       Bj”rn       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/02/02 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/757 7715 154/10 201/0       SEEN-BY: 201/137 203/0 124 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 550 664 700 230/0 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 292/854 8125 301/0       SEEN-BY: 301/1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 920/1 2452/250 3634/24 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
