Sometimes I've noticed that error       too. It's like the previous instance of the Synchronet servers don't fully       exit before they start again. I'm running my BBS in Linux, and after saving       my configuration, I've been in the habit of doing this, which stops the       Synchronet service, waits just over 2 minutes (to allow time for the servers       to fully stop), and then starts Synchronet again:              sudo systemctl stop sbbs;sleep 121;sudo systemctl start sbbs              ---        þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
