  • .CLO files

    From Brent Hendricks@1:154/50 to All on Thu Jun 12 21:30:33 2025
    Does anyone know why BinkD keeps deleting the 1:XXX/XXX.X.CLO files after they are transfered?

    This contains the ALT PATH specified in CONFIG/FTN/TOSSER field in the FTN config. C-Net seems to only create it once a day. Once it is deleted, TOSS will return an error saying it can not write tha packet to *.CLO

    I have to mnaually create a blank .CLO in order for Message Base traffic to be tossed.

    I ended up writing a script to call CNET:TOSS which will write a blank file if one is not found.

    (Note is you go this route, you MUST add the SCRIPT permission in order for CRON to be able to run it as an executable).

    PROTECT <FILENAME> +s

    Here is a copy of the script.

    ;Check to see if .clo is present, if not create it.
    IF NOT Exists OUTBOUND:1.135.115.0.clo
    ECHO > OUTBOUND:1.135.115.0.clo
    ENDIF
    ; Now run CNET:TOSS as normal
