Hello everybody!

If anyone receives a bad packet from the hub, let me know buy sending it to me via netmail as a file attach.
Call it "badpkt.zip" or "filename.bad" I can then have a look at it and if able, repair it and re-send it.

The hub sometimes does send out a bad packet. If I have that then I can see if it came from upstream with issues.

For those that run native binkd. I have a backup script running after each session via the binkd exec line:

exec "/home/husky/hpt-copy.sh" /home/husky/inbound.sec/*.[STFWMstfwm][ouaherOUAHER][0-9A-Za-z] *.[pP][kK][tT]

It saves 16 days worth of packets.

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script runs after a binkd session and processes FidoNet mail.
#

# Clean up old lock files (older than 60 minutes)
find /home/husky/semafore -name hpt -type f -mmin +60 -delete

# Check if HPT is already running
if [ -f /home/husky/semafore/hpt ]
then
echo "HPT is already running, exiting"
exit
fi
