    do you guys also have a problem with addfiles not working correctly unless you delete the data files for your file dirs then run addfiles * /zsn

    Which data files are you talking about? I don't think I've ever had to delete any data files. The only files that get deleted are the files.bbs (description) files that get created by my file tosser so that addfiles does not actually upload them to the BBS (using addfiles <name> -diz rather than -szn).


    when i use the command line /sbbs/exec/addfiles * /zsn it attempts to
    use the actual data files in sbbs/data/dirs and throws out an error msg. it's like it's attempting to use them on a case by case basis as the dir code but it's filename.ext or something.

    when i delete the data files that store the descriptions and that dir is blank, addfiles * /zsn imports all my files in all my file bases.

    '*' doesn't do what you expect on *nix shells (e.g. bash), so either use '\*' or better yet, use the supported syntax shown when you run "addfiles":

    ADDFILES v3.02-Linux (rev 1.48) - Adds Files to Synchronet Filebase

    usage: addfiles code [.alt_path] [-opts] +list [desc_off] [size_off]
    or: addfiles code [.alt_path] [-opts] file "description"

    available opts:
    -a import ASCII only (no extended ASCII)
    -b synchronize database with file list (use with caution)
    -c do not remove extra spaces from file description
    -d delete list after import
    -e do not import extended descriptions
    -f include file date in descriptions
    -t include today's date in descriptions
    -i include added files in upload statistics
    -n do not update information for existing files
    -o update upload date only for existing files
    -u do not update upload date for existing files
    -z check for and import FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI
    -k keep original short description (not DIZ)
    -s search directory for files (no file list)
    -l <lib> specify library (short name) to Auto-ADD
    -x <name> specify uploader's user name (may require quotes)

    Auto-ADD: use - in place of code for Auto-ADD of FILES.BBS
    use -filename to Auto-ADD a different filename
    use -l "libname" to only Auto-ADD files to a specific library

    use the actual data files in sbbs/data/dirs and throws out
    it's like it's attempting to use them on a case by case ba
    code but it's filename.ext or something.

    Just to see if it makes a difference, try specifying the inte
    directory you want to add files to. To be honest, I remember
    get "*" working, either. So to import all my fidonet files in
    manually specify every echo separately (ie: /sbbs/exec/addfil
    -- which you would be using -szn anyways). Also, if you're do
    try "-szn" instead of "/szn". Linux uses the hyphen instead o
    slash in the [-opts] field.

    The shell expands the *, so you need to escape it.

    /sbbs/exec/addfiles \* /zsn
