Hello All!

First of all.. I am happy and excited that Tickit has come around..
SynchroNet looks real good with an internal tick processor. 3.17 is going to be great..

I do have a couple of questions about the configuration of tickit. I finally got it to export a live tic file and send, but when it sent it was from my main address rather than my aka address for that particular net. I have
edited the domain ini (FTNDomains.ini) file as well as ticket.ini .

Have I missed something somewhere in my config or could this be a bug that hasnt been spotted yet?

Next: Is there ever going to be a "SBBSECHO" Friendly version of filefix. I have ran HTICK and ALLFIX for many of years, but with softwares other than SynchroNet. Can tickit include an area manager in the future / Possibly written into the SBBS code so that node may be able to access file echoes
much the same as message echoes?

Thanks in advance!

Not really familiar with tickit so I couldn't help you... and I know Deuce does wonderful work but..

Next: Is there ever going to be a "SBBSECHO" Friendly version of

htick is very compatable with Synch. Yes, you need to use some of the tools supplied with Synch but it does the job quite nicely. Allfix is a different story but I do use it here for FREQ files using binkd's EXEC option and although I don't do it here, I'm sure it can be used in conjunction with the Fido or any FTN filefind echo.

Setup htick's cfg file as you normally would using AREATAG and folder info such as:

fileAreaDefaults -lw 100 -g Fido -a 1:266/404
FileArea DIFFZIP c:\sbbs\data\dirs\fidodiff -d "Fidonet: Fidonet NodeDiffs"

Here is what I use for my incoming mail process...

####### Start

@echo off

cd c:\sbbs\exec

echo.
echo.
echo ***** Process inbound mail

sbbsecho -LESRFD! > c:\sbbs\events\inerror.log

if not exist c:\fd\secure\*.bad goto husky

echo ***** Moving bad pkts.

move c:\fd\secure\*.bad c:\fd\badecho

:husky

CD c:\husky

echo ***** Scanning for filefix netmail messages

htick -c htick.cfg scan

if not exist c:\fd\secure\*.tic goto end

CD c:\husky

echo ***** Tossing incoming Secure files into proper folders

htick -c htick.cfg toss

cd c:\sbbs\exec

echo ***** Adding files into filebase listings

addfiles * -sznf

:end

if not exist c:\fd\inbound\*.tic goto 1end

echo ***** Process Unsecure WhisperNet TIC files

cd c:\husky

htick -c htick.cfg toss

echo ***** Add new files to the WhisperNet file base

cd c:\sbbs\exec

addfiles whisper -sznf

:1end

echo ***** Exporting any linked msg/files to downlinks/uplinks

sbbsecho -linfd > c:\sbbs\events\outerror.log

##### End

Hope this helps...

Thanks Bill,

I will keep that config in mind. I know that the problem I was having between the softwares set up with Sync was the fact that SBBSECHO would toss all netmail before the tic processor could get a chance to scan for netmail. Therfor the tic processor never got areafix requests.

If you look at the switches in the first sbbsecho, that's where it will keep those messages so htick will see them.

Hi Bill,

sbbsecho -LESRFD! ^^^^^^^

Ahh the command line switches. Yes I have tried the D and the X switches and
I was creating mass duplicate areamanager replies. Perhaps I did not have HTICK configured correctly.

I will look over the configuration that you sent and see if maybe this will help.

At the moment I have 5 servers with different BBS softwares and
configurations doing specific jobs in my networks. It would be nice to go
back to having a personal PC and a server again :-)

Probably wasn't Htick but more in echocfg. Under NetMail settings, make sure you have "Delete Processed Netmail" to YES

I just have the Win 2008 server box and a new Pi I'm playing with. Right now that's acting as a hub with just binkd and sbbsecho running as a standalone tosser. MakeNL and htick are on the Win box.

Hi Bill,

Probably wasn't Htick but more in echocfg. Under NetMail settings, make sur you have "Delete Processed Netmail" to YES

The machine I was running HTICK and SBBS on was an SBBS 3.14. That option wasnt even available on that version. On my main system which has the last release of 3.16 that option is still not there. Like I said, I will give
HTICK another go :-)

Ha.. I have A system running VADV for the web interface, a system running ELEBBS for the utilization of ALLFIX, a system running mystic.. Trying to get all of the above, a system running TRIBBS to see if I can get it to run.. and a test version of SBBS 3.17 to beta the upcoming version of SBBS.

My Main system runs SBBS with BinkD. My secondary system runs ELE with Irex and ALLFIX. That is my file toss board. I would like to get rid of that
system lol.

You should update to 3.17. sbbsecho v3 is much more stable.

As I said, htick has been running here flawlessly and even hatches my weekly nodelists. Just have to make sure makenl segment doesn't have any mistakes and every friday at 12:05am, makenl does it's think, creates a nodelist for binkd, htick hatches the files to all my downlinks... and I'm snoring. Life is good. :)

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to configure Tickit on my BBS for a couple of days now, and nothing seems to work :)

I would really appreciate if one of you guys can help me out with my config, as my understaning of FIDO is pretty new to me.

1. I have subscribed to all File Echo available using FileFix, and i received a confirmation that i am correctly subscribed.
2. I then created a timed event to call tickit.js
3. I edited tickit.ini, with the following (i created only 2 areas to test, 1:229/426 is my uplink). I am not about the global entries at the beginning, but i think they act as default values if a key is not present.

.Dir=FidoNetFOTHER
.Links=1:229/426

.[DAILYLIST]
.Dir=FIDONETFDailyLis
.links=1:229/426

.[MODIS]
.Dir=FIDONETFMODIS
.links=1:229/426
4. 3-4 times/day, i can see in the log some .tic files coming in, and i see that they are processed by tickit, but no files are placed in my file areas.

Any ideas ?
Thanks so much,
ElGringo

Paste the log output that shows the files being processed by tickit.

Also, confirm that you have file directories configured in SCFG->File Areas with those same internal codes you have listed there in your tickit.ini file.

HI Digital Man,

i just took a look at the actual directories and the files are there!!! but they're not added to the BBS.
The Addfiles was not called, should i have a timed event for addfiles as well ? Cause i dont have one.

Thanks again !

Re: Re: Tickit

Paste the log output that shows the files being processed by tickit.

9-24 05:37:32a Running timed event: TICKIT
9-24 05:37:33a TICKIT Parsing ../fido/inbound\/AO500RG6.TIC
9-24 05:37:33a Timed event: TICKIT returned 0

So looking at exec/tickit.js, it appears it should log "Processing..." and then "Working with <filename> in <tic_area>" log messagse after the "Parsing" log message. These are "info" level log messages, so they should normally be in the log output. You can try increasing the log level to "debug" to see if you see any more detail, but if it were me, I'd start adding more log() messages to tickit.js to see where's getting hung-up. It sounds like process_tic() is returning a falsey value, but it should also be logging an error in that case (which was not included in your pasted log output).

Greetings All!


Is there anywhere else that a ticpassword needs to be other sbbsecho.ini? we are setting up net 105 and cant seem to get sbbs to process the tic files, it wants to, it sees them but complains of password problems. I have verified on the same screen with both configs on at the same time and they match each end perfectly. I looked in tickit.ini (I think thats file name) and I dont see mention of passwd in there and the other networks seem to toss their .tics fine. so I am kind of at a loss as to why it doesnt see and match the passwords..

This is a frequently asked question these days: it appears tickit.js doesn't support 5D addresses used in the [node:] sections of sbbsecho.ini. If you don't need them (and you likely don't) remove the "@domain" portions of your linked node addresses in echocfg/sbbsecho.ini.

This is a frequently asked question these days: it appears tickit.js doesn't support 5D addresses used in the [node:] sections of sbbsecho.ini. If you don't need them (and you likely don't) remove the "@domain" portions of your linked node addresses in echocfg/sbbsecho.ini.

I have been tossing files in fsxnet and the linked node does have a domain listed in sbbsecho.ini. I haven't tried tossing files in fidonet yet.

My aka is a point. I wonder if that makes a difference?

Perhaps. Or maybe it's something else in the TIC file that makes it 5D-happy (or not).

I don't think you need both "dir" and "path" set there.

Double-check your SCFG->File Areas. It sounds like you do not have a directory configured there with an internal code of "DAILYLIST".

You were right I had a typo well sort of, internal code only allowed for DAILYLIS I didnt notice that... So that error isnt present now.. Now it complains about path and I have tripled checked in scfg, tickit.ini and the actual path and they all match... so not sure what else to check.. sorry about this..

Looking at the code, it seems that error would only happen if you didn't have either the "dir" or the "path" specified for the [DAILYLIST] echo. So... double-check that tickit.ini file again.

Note: I did write tickit.js nor have I ever actually run it. I'm just reading the wiki page and the source (exec/tickit.js).

You cannot have both "Dir" and "Path" defined for a given area. They
are mutually exclusive.

Here: http://wiki.synchro.net/module:tickit#ctrl_tickitini

Also I think the Dir= line (the internal code) is limited to 8
characters.

I finally just got it to toss... It still showed an error but it did process the file correctly and placed it in the correct dir.. For your reference this was the output.

Do you not see the message here that I posted to you yesterday?

You CANNOT have both a 'Dir' and a 'Path' specified for a given area.
It's one or the other. Not both.

Read the Wiki page that I referenced you yesterday.
