   Hello again g00r00!   
      
   I hope you will forgive me for all my messages, as I really don't want to   
   interrupt your work...   
      
   On 09 Jul 2022, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...   
    BW> I'll let you know if I would stumble across anything additional, but I   
      
   * I edited resetpw.ini and emailval.ini in the data directory (also tried   
   copying to the theme's text directory), but it appears that Mystic doesn't use   
   the INI files just yet? (I got the "old" hard-coded messages e-mailed   
   out.) Being able to customize those messages will be great!   
      
   * When copying (/C) and pasting (/P) an action to the action list of a menu   
   command: If the command list is already full (25 entries), pasting will   
   overwrite the highlighted action (if any -- one could be at the empty line   
   below all actions, in which case nothing would happen). Perhaps the paste   
   function could/should be greyed out of there isn't room for another action?   
   And perhaps the empty line ("room for another action") at the bottom of the   
   action list shouldn't be shown if the list is full?   
      
   * I have Disable Time: No and a security level (s255) which has Time Per Day:   
   9999. Do Shell events with Warning: x (minutes) really kick the user out? I   
   would expect Mystic to trim the available time (9999 minutes) down so that the   
   closest event with a Warning value set will be able launch without any users   
   being logged in. But it appears that I get 9999 minutes per day and don't get   
   kicked out during the events with a Warning value.   
      
   For what kind of events does the Warning value affect the amount of remaining   
   time?   
   Did I perhaps ruin something by setting the Time Per Day to > 1440 minutes?   
      
   Background: I'm using the Shell event type (and not a "BBS" type event) for my   
   daily/weekly maintenance events since I do not want MIS to exit (it is started   
   via systemd and I want it to be running, but without users logged on).   
      
   I do create/remove a semaphore of my own during/after the maintenance, and   
   check for that during logon, so that any attempts to log on during maintenance   
   will honor the ongoing event. But it is more of a work-around as I do not know   
   of any built-in semaphore of Mystic to prevent logins.   
      
   (And for a SysOp account, one might want to be able to override this in case   
   something goes wrong, one is at a remote location, and needs to e.g. remove   
   the semaphore via a menu command or the Mystic-DOS Shell...)   
      
   Thanks in avance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
