  • Some Talisman Linux scripts I've written

    From JOE DOOM@21:1/230 to All on Sun Jul 4 18:37:13 2021
    |09Hi All,

    I have written a few Linux scripts for my Talisman BBS that I thought I
    would share.

    They're available at:

    |15https://github.com/spiroharvey/talisman-bbs-scripts|09

    They're the shell scripts I've written for managing my FTN stuff as well
    as systemd service files.

    |14bbs.service|09 for starting and stopping the main BBS

    |14binkd.service|09 for binkd

    |14bbs-filewatch.service|09 for monitoring for incoming tic files and
    triggers my tic processor (I use one I wrote years ago called stick,
    available on my github as well at
    |15https://github.com/spiroharvey/stick|09)

    |14bbs-semwatch.service|09 to monitor the netmail and echomail semaphore
    files and trigger Talisman's postie scan

    The main reason for the last two is that I haven't currently had much
    success with the in-built Talisman events. Hopefully when it improves
    then I will not need these scripts, but they might still be useful if you
    want to know how to use this functionality for something else.

    Those scripts use a package called inotify-tools that can be made to
    watch files for modifications (as in sem-watch) or directories for new
    files (as in file_watch).

    Hi All,

    I have written a few Linux scripts for my Talisman BBS that I thought I would share.

    Nice - I cloned and will take a look, as I've been wanting to learn scripting a bit more. I do load some BBS stuff using systemD and like to see how you've done things.

    Thanks, Joe DOOOOOOOOM!

    No worries, happy to help with questions.

    Not sure what time you grabbed it, but I posted an update which run all
    the systemd services by the BBS user.. Originally I had it so that they
    were "owned" by the BBS user, but you still had to be root to stop/start
    them. Now they're managed by the BBS user.

    I found that after running logrotate on my logs, a couple of my services
    needed to be restarted, but I couldn't script it if I wasn't root (well I
    could with sudo and no passwords, but not a good move for a public
    server).. So I just switched everything to run as the user.

    :)
