The       current system date is compared against that dsts.ini "Date" value and if the       current date is different, resets stats (and runs the fixed events you have       configured in SCFG to run as specified date intervals). This is done for each       terminal sever logon (for non Q-restricted accounts) and periodically in the       terminal server "event thread".              As a result, you should see log messages like this (where the event thread       detected the new date):              BBS Events New Day - Prev: Fri Aug 15 2025 12:00 am       BBS Events New Day and Week - Prev: Sat Aug 16 2025 12:00 am              If the event thread isn't running or is busy running an event, but a new       terminal server logon occurs after a date change, you should see a similar log       message in the terminal server's log otuput.              The only things that would prevent this "rollover" from happening (and that       dsts.ini "Date" value being update to reflect the current date/time) are       issues reading the dsts.ini file (which should be logged accordingly) or       reading the current system date/time from the system clock.              So the next step is check what in the log output of your event thread (e.g.       data/events.log in most recent builds of sbbs), the terminal server, and your       data/error.log file for clues.       --         digital man (rob)              Rush quote #18:       Leave out condition, courageous convictions will drag the dream into existence       Norco, CA WX: 80.1øF, 57.0% humidity, 3 mph W wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.29-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832       SEEN-BY: 263/1 266/512 280/464 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           |
