If it succeeds, nobody is online.              With this, I'm not sure that the _fsopen() is even needed... will       need to go through the maint and ibbs options.              Also, instead of a binary representation of the node number, use       "Node: %d\n"              Add /EXCLUSIVE option              This option asserts that there are no other copies of the game       running, and it is safe to remove online.flg if it exists.              Create/test the semaphore before reading dynamic data              Also, on node 0, wait for the semaphore rather than exit.              So, it's expected you will set everything up line this:       Regular door: clans /Nx /Sx /Dxxxx       IBBS import: clans /I       Maint: clans /M /EXCLUSIVE              The IBBS import and Maint events need to run on the same node so that       an import won't be running at the same time as maint. If that's not       possible, leave off the /EXCLUSIVE option to maint, and keep an eye       on the flag file because processes will build up waiting on the       semfile in the case of a crash.       --- SBBSecho 3.30-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 610 700 810 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
