    From Bradley D Hansen@VERT to All on Sat Feb 6 15:10:17 2016
    I tried to configure and install on a Linux Based SBBS. Is there any reason why it
    shouldn't work on my Linux SBBS? I got a External DOS programs are not yet supported in
    Synchronet BBS for Linux Version 3.17 what happened? I thought most javascript stuff
    should run... Looks really cool. No go here though.. what can I check for.. I
    got my API key
    and copied and configured the scfg. What can I check for?

    Sounds like you did't set the command-line correctly. JavaScript mods must have a command-line that begins with a '?' or '*'.

    You will need to recompile with the USE_DOSEMU=1 argument on your make line in order to compile in dosemu support.

    I logged into your BBS, and I think DM is correct, it looks like the script doesn't execute at all when the door is run.

    There is a ? before the command... it doesn't run because its broke.

    Actually, based on the error message you reported it's most likely that you configured this program incorrectly. Maybe paste the configuration screen from scfg here; perhaps somebody will see something. Or just delete that program's entry and create it again, following section 5 of the 'sysop.txt' file that comes with it.

    Or, you know, just jump to conclusions. That can be fun.

    I was messing with it here, I like it but decided not to run it... but I live not too far from you (I am in Story City)... if you want contact me via my BBS and we can meet up and go over it together.

    That's the new self destruct option. You have to set up the command line to include /dontdeleteeverythingprettyplease but it's only "documented" if you decode the first letter of every odd numbered line in the code.

    It's camel cased.

    /dontdeleteEverythingprettyplease

    It took me redoing my ANSIs by hand thrice to learn that, because I don't believe in backups.
