Something strange happened. The file mystic.exe disappeared somehow from the folder. I
replaced it and tried running mutil command. Nothing is processing because there is a
warning that all nodes a busy.

There is probably a file somewhere that would confirm this, but I am not sure which file it
would be.

I tried rebooting twice, making sure that the semaphore directory was empty. Still no luck.

Can anyone help?

Try running:

Mike you are running in Linux right? I have crash recovery scripts for both Windows and Linux, the Linux one I wrote and is basic, the Windows one was written by SysOpSolaris, they both do the job quite well. THey kill all busy semaphores, and remove any other semaphores that are lingering around.. If you want it I will email you them...

I just sudo pacman and kill them easily using the file manager.

I don't have a link to it but here it is in Windows .bat format..

cd \
cd \mystic\semaphore\
del *.bsy /F /Q
cd \mystic
mis poll killbusy
mis server

I suggest only running this if the BBS is shutdown..

It should be very easy to convert to Linux format.. I never did.. I should!
