  • Python script

    From Rick Smith@21:1/190 to All on Mon Apr 6 14:30:46 2020
    Greetings All!

    Can I have mystic events or some other method to run a python script every hour
    or so?


    Regards,

    Nitro

    Events can run any executable that the user running Mystic has (execute)
    access to. Can be Python, Shell, an executable, whatever you want.

    However, if the program isn't intrinsically related to Mystic / your BBS I would rather run it via the scheduling mechanism of your OS, crontab on
    unixes (and this includes OSX) and the scheduler in Windows.

    You need to add the "python" command before the script. E.g.

    python C:\[path]

    I tested that script out, looks great--but couldn't figure out how to change the font back after it ran -- the docs were missing that part :)

    Download V2 it does it for you, apparently a lot of folks had trouble

    Works good now

    Good to know. I just set it up a little while ago and noticed that. Had to manually change my font back to cp437 in Netrunner.
