Do any one of the mbse user could make mbmsg to get luck to post a
text file to a echo. I have tried if i could get and make mbnsg
post a text file to the netmail for to make it as a auto posting
but only I got was error on the posting.
The sysop (but not a bbs user) can post using mbmsg, I use the
same for my monthly rules and stats here and that is done via a
cron job.
Need to see the details?
I got it to work by run manually script file but the crontab runs test
say it not can find mbmsg or run mbmsg, so may I shall try to use the
same commands as mbout is running or take some commands from the /opt/etc/maint file so mbse and the linux know where and how to run
mbmsg. Like $MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbmsgs post ......... (rest of the mbmsg commands).

Have you checked your paths and others eg, set | less ?

And along with what Vince asked; is that "$MBSE_ROOT" actually set
correctly in the script? There are multiple ways to ensure that is
done, but it does need be there...

Yes that have I done and it is only while the crontab shall run the
scripts the problem comes and if I run the script file manually is
there no problem.

OK, I think I see the problem, let me look at my setup .....
Look at your etc/monthly script and see if it looks similar to mine:
--------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# MBSE BBS Monthly - Should be run at the first of the month at 00:10
#
# $Id: monthly,v 1.3 2004/06/01 19:33:28 mbse Exp $
MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse;export MBSE_ROOT
if [ "$MBSE_ROOT" = "" ]; then
export MBSE_ROOT=`cat /etc/passwd | grep mbse: | awk -F ':' '{ print
$6}'`
fi
#if [ "`id -un`" != "mbse" ] ; then
# echo "Must be run by user 'mbse'"
# exit 1
#fi
# While the system is on UPS battery power, don't start maintenance
#
while [ -f $MBSE_ROOT/var/sema/upsalarm ]; do
sleep 60
done
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbfido notify -quiet
$MBSE_ROOT/tmp/runturqstat.sh
--------------------------
It's the last two lines.
This is forcing the programs to run under the settings for $MBSE_ROOT
Otherwise the programs will fail.
As my main system uses the default of 24554 I have port forwarding set on the router to the main system but need to do the same for port 24555 for the Pi.
Question how do I change the mbse set up to use this change of port as I cannot
find anywhere where this is defined.
Any one have a clue to finding this and changing it ?

Id be tempted to solve this just using the port forwarding. So just
forward port 24555 > IPAddressOfPi > 24554
If you are determined to change the ports for any configured services,
MBSE uses inetd right?
check out the setup.sh script - at the end of this it configures /etc/services which the inetd service uses. My first step would be to
edit /etc/services then try a reboot and see if inetd/xinetd picks up
the new service config.
I want to set up a second bbs system on a Raspberry pi to handle a simple-ish service namely for ELIST.

Change the binkp port in /etc/services to 24555 on that machine.

I'm not sure if MBSE can be configured to use a different port.

Changing the port in /etc/services has worked for me in the past.
