      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A45       MSGID: 1:227/702 0c9c3ce2       REPLY: 2:221/360.0 5f19632e       TZUTC: -0400        AA> I don't know what nodespy is, and the description at github sounds greek        AA> to me (middleware within middleware, node.js, etc..)        AA>               Nodespy is kind of like the old waiting for caller screens that would allow       SySops to view basic BBS stats such as callers, emails, posts, for the day,       without having to login to see if we have email. In the dial up days waiting       for call screens allowed us sysops to auto set security levels for users,       hang up on them if they were malicious, jump in chat if paged, etc... nodespy       is similar in that we can pick a node someone is connected to and perform       basic functions like that. I had been using it to see if I had any email or       calls, so I didn't have to go through the BBS login process to find out.        However, when a user would connect, for some reason my Mystic nodespy take a       minute to auto launch a separate terminal and display the user logging in. That       delay was causing the issue. So I just quit launching the application and       the problem went away. I still have a short cut to the ap so I can view the       stats, then close it right back out. However another sysop tested his the       same way and was unable to replicate the problem. So .. I'll likely upgrade       my .45 to .46 Mystic this week to fix the problemo.              -Doug              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
