• First time install

    From Martin Foster@2:250/1.1 to All on Fri Apr 7 13:04:00 2017
    Greetings All!

    As far as MBSE is concerned, I'm a complete n00b and I'm not all that
    hot with Linux, so please excuse the "dumb" questions ;-)

    I've just installed v1.0.7 on Mageia 5.1(x86_64) and, at first glance,
    the install appears to have gone perfectly but after doing a bit of
    poking around, I'm not seeing '/etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs'. Is the install
    script supposed to create the file or do I have to create it manually?

    Regards,
    Martin

    You will find the process is in /etc/rc.d/init.d as mbsed

    You can therefore apply :

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed status


    E.g.,

    [vince@Applewood ~]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed status
    mbsed.service - SYSV: Starts and stops MBSE BBS.
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed)
    Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-03-27 19:11:29 BST; 1 weeks 3 days
    ago


    Also you can use :

    [vince@Applewood ~]$ sudo systemctl status mbsed.service

    Which returns :

    mbsed.service - SYSV: Starts and stops MBSE BBS.
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed)
    Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-03-27 19:11:29 BST; 1 weeks 3 days

    Of course you can use start | stop in place of status.

    depending on your set up of Mag v5 you might need the sudo prefix for the first
    method depending on user priviledges.

    Also you might see a message about daemon-xxx (where xxx = another
    name that I have forgotten).
