  • We done?

    From nelgin@80:774/10 to All on Tue Dec 2 20:36:13 2025
    I was checking my networks and found I was unsubscribed from all the echos on retronet, pinet, and cnet. Are we done here? You usually at least get an announcement from the hub or network admin if something is shutting down?

    No, it's still here. Spitfire moved everything over to a Linux base and I believe he reset everything...

    If I knew how to mass mail I would have. Sorry, but these networks are not going anyplace. I may create an emailregisdtry where all the nodes can sign up and get up-dates and important information.

    The .dat file that had all the nodes information on what echo they were a part of got deleted or corrupt. I now, while on Linux have things being backed up now.

    There is only 1 issue I am trying to figure out. I have a script that will compile the nodelists, move them to the proper directories and zip up the nodeinfo packs. Although, when it does, the zip on Linux will not zip the nodelist properly, instead of cnet.z##, you will find that inside the nodeinfo packs they are cnet.* instead.

    Not sure about that, I would guess that nodelist compiler should do it. Anyone with experience with this?? SF, if you carry fsxNet or TQWnet reach out to Avon on fsx or Meatlotion on TQW they both use Linux and run those networks and update the nodelist weekly..
