  • nodelist??

    From Michael Pierce@1:340/201 to g00r00 on Sat Jul 11 10:13:55 2020
    Hello g00r00!
    I just saw an interesting error message

    'zip, and cannot find /sbbs/files/fdn_NODELIST/NODELIST.Z02.ZIP, period'
    ' unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /sbbs'
    'zip, and cannot find /sbbs/files/fdn_NODELIST/NODELIST.Z01.ZIP, period.'

    this message popped up on the right side of mutil (ran mutil full window)
    and text was in gray.. looked like some text might have been hidden behind the graphic
    speaking of which.. anyway to turn off the graphics?

    These are messages that come from unzip not Mystic. I think by default settings Mystic runs unzip in (qq) quiet mode to supress messages.

    If you want to turn off the display entirely you can run it with -noscreen option and that should do the trick for you.

    anyway to have mystic report corrupt nodelists ??

    What did you have in mind as far as reporting?

    MUTIL doesn't really know if a ZIP file is corrupted since its not working directly with them. It just asks UNZIP to unzip all of the .zip files and
    then looks for the latest nodelists to merge/import.

    does it unzip all types of files?? if so, would there be a way to tell mutil nodelist section to look at the total # of files, and if total file count does not match, post a message to sysop?

    It doesn't assume one nodelist per zip file but it probably could be changed to make that assumption.

    I should be able to detect if what appears to be a nodelist .zip file is found but no nodelist was merged, so I will make a note of it on the TODO list. It may not always know exactly why it didn't work - only that it found a .zip
    but couldn't complete the merge for any number of reasons.
