Hi all,
I rebuilt my SBBS recently in a FreeBSD jail from git, and since then, my inbound hubs are able to reach me and crash FidoMail, but SBBS is not dialing out to them at scheduled intervals. I am not seeing any outbound entries in my log. So far I've troubleshooted:
1. DNS - I can ping out to my hubs by hostname
2. Fido Linked Nodes config - Status is Normal, Direct is enabled, BinkP Poll is set to yes
3. Timed Events - DOVEnet dial outs are working, but FTNs are not
4. Forced Timed Event for fidoout - does not seem to work
Curious where to start troubleshooting next. Hopefully I'm missing something easy.
One test would be to just run 'jsexec binkit -p' from a command-line and see what you see. It should try to poll your uplink with that command (same as the BINKPOLL timed event, when it runs).

When running binkit manually, the dial out completes successfully, and I can see it show up in the binkstats.ini log.
I previously also tested using the fidoout semaphore, and the semaphore file is created and removed a few seconds later but binkit is not triggered.
It seems like it is timed event scheduler related. I did notice I had a stray recycle file from two days ago and wondered if that was stopping tasks from being triggered.
The timed event for fidoout is enabled and is set to run 24 hours a day (default settings).
The FIDOOUT semaphore would just trigger the export (output) of message to FidoNet using SBBSecho. If SBBSecho
creates
and outgoing packets or bundles, it'll touch its configured semaphore file, e.g. in ctrl/sbbsecho.ini
OutgoingSemaphore=../data/binkout.now
... which will in turn trigger the BINKOUT timed event that executes the FidoNet mailer (BinkIT, in this case). The
BINKOUT has to be configured and *enabled* in SCFG for it run, even if the semaphore file is created/touched
succesfully.
