Yep; netmails (used for things like netmail to another systems Areafix) and echomail (automated postings).

I am just out for could post a text file to my fido uplink in netmail by a script file so it create a netmail 1 or 2 times monthly, but the command I have
tried manually and by the script file wouldn't work by mbmsg posting.

mbmsg post "aka + name" 0 "Hello" /opt/mbse/hello.txt ...
So I then ask for the real command line there is work, so mbmsg can use it well
and write both nodes aka and name + subject and put attrib functions as pvt and
maybe k/s.

This is an example from a script I use to post an Areafix request to my uplink:

-----<snip>------------------------------------------------ TO="Areafix@f544.n120.z1.fidonet.org"
SUBJ=PassWord
TXTMSG=$VARDIR/f544/msg.txt

$BINDIR/mbmsg post $TO 2 $SUBJ $TXTMSG cp -----<snip>------------------------------------------------

"2" is the area number.

I could try to make my script file simular this and try it out and if my fido netmail not is moving from its number should it be 4.

After changing that "pvt" to just "p", that should work...

Don't forget that the last parameter for that command should be either letters (in your example, it should be "p") or a dash ("-").

Then if it shall work by cron and crontab has there too to be some export command for mbse_root else can the cron not found out of use mbmsg command. This can then be in crontab or in the script file. It can be taken from mbse maint files from /opt/mbse/etc/.

The sysop (but not a bbs user) can post using mbmsg, I use the same for my monthly rules and stats here and
that is done via a cron job.

Need to see the details?

I got it to work by run manually script file but the crontab runs test say it not can find mbmsg or run mbmsg, so may I shall try to use the same commands as
mbout is running or take some commands from the /opt/etc/maint file so mbse and
the linux know where and how to run mbmsg.
Like
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbmsgs post ......... (rest of the mbmsg commands).

Yes that have I done and it is only while the crontab shall run the scripts the
problem comes and if I run the script file manually is there no problem.

And along with what Vince asked; is that "$MBSE_ROOT" actually set correctly in the script? There are multiple ways to ensure that is done, but it does need be there...

In my mbse .profile file have I this:
export PATH=$HOME/bin;$PATH
export MBSE_ROOT=$HOME

So I could use in my script
$PATH/mbmsg post .........

OK, I think I see the problem, let me look at my setup .....


Look at your etc/monthly script and see if it looks similar to mine:

--------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# MBSE BBS Monthly - Should be run at the first of the month at 00:10
#
# $Id: monthly,v 1.3 2004/06/01 19:33:28 mbse Exp $
MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse;export MBSE_ROOT

if [ "$MBSE_ROOT" = "" ]; then
export MBSE_ROOT=`cat /etc/passwd | grep mbse: | awk -F ':' '{ print $6}'` fi
#if [ "`id -un`" != "mbse" ] ; then
# echo "Must be run by user 'mbse'"
# exit 1
#fi

# While the system is on UPS battery power, don't start maintenance
#
while [ -f $MBSE_ROOT/var/sema/upsalarm ]; do
sleep 60
done
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbfido notify -quiet
$MBSE_ROOT/tmp/runturqstat.sh

--------------------------

It's the last two lines.

This is forcing the programs to run under the settings for $MBSE_ROOT

Otherwise the programs will fail.

Yes it is near to the same except your first lines command and 2 last lines commands, my 2 last lines is used as the defailt for mbindex.
I got my crontab to work now with change its command line to be using:
export MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse; $MBSE_ROOT/etc/hello.sh
and it look to work that way adn I added in my hello.sh last to use $HOME/bin/mbmsg post ....

I test it out and it works the text file is been posted as it shall by the cron
now.

Take care,
Gert
