  • recycle and won't re-read timed event config

    From Ragnarok@docksud.com.ar to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Discussion on Thu Oct 17 15:30:23 2019
    I modify a external timed event (due typo error in the parameter path),
    trigger touch recycle semaphore file to reload and touch event semaphore
    to force run, but still use old config.

    need i to restart the sbbs daemon?

    run event:

    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt Semaphore signaled for Timed
    Event: NEWSLNK2
    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt Running timed event: NEWSLNK2
    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt NEWSLNK2 Executing external: ?newslink.js /sbbs/ctrl/neslink.ferchobbs.cfg
    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt NEWSLNK2 Synchronet NewsLink
    1.111 session started
    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt NEWSLNK2 !Error 2 opening /sbbs/ctrl/neslink.ferchobbs.cfg
    Oct 17 15:22:45 localhost synchronet: evnt Timed event: NEWSLNK2 returned 0

    edit the config via scfg and recycle:

    Oct 17 15:23:03 localhost synchronet: mail Recycling server...

    force again the event:

    Oct 17 15:23:45 localhost synchronet: evnt Semaphore signaled for Timed
    Event: NEWSLNK2
    Oct 17 15:23:45 localhost synchronet: evnt Running timed event: NEWSLNK2

    No, not normally.

    i can reproduce.. i change the cmdline from timed event and then
    reclycle , these settings do not update until bbs restart.

    it's not a big problem.. but what is expected is that when recycling
    these new values are taken i think


    thanks!

    It sounds like the recycle isn't working then. The entire configuration (stored in the 'scfg' global variable in main.cpp) is re-read upon recycling.
