  • Batch File

    From Mike Dippel@21:4/176 to ALL on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 13:09:04
    I run Mystic on a home computer and occasionally I come home to find it down. Can
    someone help me create a batch file to restart it?

    I have the computer set to auto log in when restarted, but if the computer goes down on
    its own, there are still residual files in the c:\mystic\semaphore folder that need to be
    deleted so that mystic server can start.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You could run this batch file on startup when your computer reboots:

    @ECHO OFF
    C:
    CD \MYSTIC
    IF EXIST C:\MYSTIC\SEMAPHORE\MIS.BSY DEL C:\MYSTIC\SEMAPHORE\MIS.BSY
    MYSTIC.EXE SERVER

    What I did is, I created a little batch file called startbbs.bat and it deletes the old Mystic leftovers and starts the BBS. Very simple, really. Then add this batch file to your computer's startup sequence and you're ready to go - as long as your cvomputer doesn't go down and stay down. Not much you can do about that.

    I had to edit the last line to:
    mis server

    Although I had that line in the startup folder before, I can't find that folder now. CTRL
    ALT DELETE shows that it exists, but I can't figure out where the folder is.

    Any ideas?

    Hi there ... Create a new Test File, Copy the below into this text file. save it and rename called BBS-Start.bat Place this Bat file in your windows Start Folder .... Reboot to rest it without stopping your Mystic. This will prove it removes the MIS.BSY files to start the MIS.EXE Server


    @echo Off
    cd\
    CD bbs\semaphore
    del *.* /Q
    cd\bbs
    mis.exe server

    Thanks. I assume the del command is to remove any and all files from that folder? I
    currently have it just as del mis.bsy

    I will give that a try.
