    A semaphore is a file created in the mystic/semaphore directory. When echomailis received by the bink server Mystic will create an echomail.in file in thesemaphore directory. Likewise when you post a message in a message base Mysticwill create an echomail.out file.

    If you have an event monitor for these semaphores (I believe Mystic
    checks thedirectory once a minute) then you can have things run more often, almost inreal time.

    e.g.

    You post a message here in this message base. Mystic creates mystic/semaphore/echomail.out

    You have an event looking for echomail.out which runs:
    mutil mailout.ini|mis poll send

    The kill after line deletes that semaphore so the event won't run continuously.

    So the way I have Mystic setup, each time I post a message it's sent out usually within a minute, rather than waiting for an event to run every
    so oftento collect mail and send it out.

    Great explanation - copied to my mystic_txt folder.

    LOL - Weird; for some reason I thought you have been around much longer. With a name like warpslide, I guess it makes you instantly uber cool. pa> w00t w00t, daddio!!!

    LOL, well I DID run a Telegard BBS back in the late 90's but I honestly don't remember which handle I used back then. It wasn't until I moved out of my parent's house & got my first DSL connection that I started using Warpslide around 2001.
