Rob,

Here are some recent errors that I've encountered with Synchronet.

Mon Apr 4 00:00:00 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt JPRDYMNT Error: (admin) User not found: Daryl Stout

Mon Apr 4 00:00:05 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt SRCOLMNT Timed event: SRCOLMNT returned 255

Mon Apr 4 03:00:00 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt SBL2SMB Timed event: SBL2SMB returned 1

Mon Apr 4 13:07:35 2022 master/61e6f5d3c
srvc 0000 JSON JSON Service Error: (2428) Unknown module: wordem

Mon Apr 4 13:07:35 2022 master/61e6f5d3c
term Node 1 <Cyberpope> !JavaScript C:\sbbs\exec\load\json-client.js line 373: Error: Unknown module: wordem

The first 3 I'm not overly concerned about. I haven't been playing
Jeopardy, the SRCOLMNT is for the Colonies door, but I have that
in a local version...and I think the SBL2SMB is for the BBS listing,
but I'm not sure.

The last 2 are related to Wordem...reported to me by one of my users.

On another note, if I wanted to reinstall the external doors with
Synchronet (not the ones I've set up locally already), what's the
command for that with jsexec??

Two issues have limited my BBS time of late...thunderstorms (Arkansas
is in its tornado season now), and I was recently hospitalized and
diagnosed with congestive heart failure (to go with atrial fibrillation,
which was diagnosed last summer). I'm on medication and exercise, and am
making dietary modifications, so the BBS hasn't been that high of a
priority for me lately.

373: Error: Unknown module: wordem

Modules are configured in ctrl/json-service.ini. You'll see this error when something tries to access a module which hasn't been configured on your JSON-DB server.

Wordem is an unfinished and badly written game from a long time ago. I don't think I left it in a playable state. The real solution here is to remove it from your menu.

Rob,

Here are some recent errors that I've encountered with Synchronet.

Mon Apr 4 00:00:00 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt JPRDYMNT Error: (admin) User not found: Daryl Stout

I don't know anything about JPRDYMNT, but it sounds like it's looking for a user named Daryl Stout and isn't find it. <shrug>

Mon Apr 4 00:00:05 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt SRCOLMNT Timed event: SRCOLMNT returned 255

Again, I nothing about this event.

Mon Apr 4 03:00:00 2022 master/005633b1f
evnt SBL2SMB Timed event: SBL2SMB returned 1

Double check how your SBL2SMB event is configured in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events and compare with:
http://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbslist#timed_events

Mon Apr 4 13:07:35 2022 master/61e6f5d3c
srvc 0000 JSON JSON Service Error: (2428) Unknown module: wordem

Sounds like you don't have "wordem" set in your json-service.ini file

Mon Apr 4 13:07:35 2022 master/61e6f5d3c
term Node 1 <Cyberpope> !JavaScript C:\sbbs\exec\load\json-client.js line 373: Error: Unknown module: wordem

Ditto.

The first 3 I'm not overly concerned about. I haven't been playing
Jeopardy, the SRCOLMNT is for the Colonies door, but I have that
in a local version...and I think the SBL2SMB is for the BBS listing,
but I'm not sure.

On another note, if I wanted to reinstall the external doors with
Synchronet (not the ones I've set up locally already), what's the
command for that with jsexec??

Different externals use different configurations. See if they have an install-xtrn.ini with them and then you can use the 'install-xtrn.js' to install them automagically:
http://wiki.synchro.net/module:install-xtrn

Two issues have limited my BBS time of late...thunderstorms (Arkansas

Okay. Best of luck to ya!

term Node 1 !ERROR in printfile.cpp line 291 (sbbs_t::menu) checking "C:\sbbs\text\menu/../banner.msg" access=0

Does the file text/banner.msg exist? This file is included in the stock text directory and there's a reference to it in the stock text/answer.msg, so it seems you have the stock answer.msg file but not the banner.msg file.

next one

evnt QNET !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (EinError 2) in main.cpp line 3195 (event_thread) removing "C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk" access=0

If you look further back in the event log, do you see other errors?

There was a copy of banner.msg in \data and again in \text\menu, but not in \text so I copied it there.

I will have to take a look, but I am sure there are other errors. I just didn't want to post them all at once.

We've been discussing this error in IRC and it appears that phil's system is "losing" the SBBSCTRL environment variable at some point while running sbbsctrl.exe (re-starting sbbsctrl.exe gets the environment variable back). jsexec and useredit.exe needs that environment variable to know where to find the configuration files (e.g. main.ini and friends) and when the environmetn variable isn't set, then it reverts to the default of "/sbbs/ctrl/". Phil's been using the File->Run->File Manager option a lot, so it could be related to that.

Phil: set your synchronet environment variables in your windows OS.
Sbbsctrl and sbbsnode

That might correct your issue.

Maybe ut was a typo error but the directory location of my sbbs has not changed. For the env for sbbsctrl I have checked it it several times and its set to c:\users\plt\sbbs\ctrl. I do agree with this --> Phil's been using the File->Run->File Manager option a lot, so it could be related to that.

You didn't quote any of the context, but I am quite aware of the
discussions in both IRC and DoveNet.

Does the fact that you're the only one having the issue give you any
clues as to what might be wrong?

You certainly ARE ignoring plenty of people, including DM.

You keep asking the same questions, with the same error messages, and
get answers from several people, including DM. Usually you don't bother
even responding with something like "OK, I'll try that", you just ramble
on with some other unrelated and irrelevant commentary, and then mark
yourself as "away". Then you eventually come back and ask the *EXACT*
same thing again, and once again ignore the answers.

You switch OS's for no apparent reason. You install everything into non-standard locations. You do pretty much everything you can to ENSURE
that the system will not operate correctly. Then.... we're endlessly
looping through the paragraph above this one, AGAIN.

Maybe read some instructions, FOLLOW those instructions, and do things
the way they are meant to be done, instead of changing/breaking
everything. You behavior is just impossible to understand, just like
your "writing" methods.
