I have a couple of file areas that are getting files from ALLFIX. They are getting tossed to the correct directory, but they are not showing up on new
file scan nor in the directory listing.

Do I need to create an event for ADDFILES? Maybe addfiles - SZN? Or is there another way to do this?

Yes, something will need to run addfiles. You could use TickIT instead of ALLFIX and it handles that for you, or you can have ALLFIX run addfiles or trigger and addfiles timed event via semaphore file.

I have the TickIT event set up. It puts them in the directory. But when I look for new files on the system, they don't show up. And they don't show up in the area listing either. But they are in the directory.

So I must have left something out.

Were you using ALLFIX previously and then switched to TickIT? If so, then you'll need to run addfiles manually (one time) to get those older files imported into the filebase.

what does your TickIT log output look like? it should look something like this...

I use ALLFIX in my to line in the netmail to turn on file areas. ex. ALLFIX@1:XXX/XX. My password in the subject line. I then get a TIC and file to me. TickIt runs and puts the files into the correct directories. But nothing happens to get the files listed when you look for them.

I don't know. I can't find a TickIt.log. I looked in SBBBSEcho.log, I can't find it in there either. But the files are in the directory.

I tried running ./jsexec addfiles -SZN from the /sbbs/exec directory. It did not work. It's missing a module. I can give more info when I get home from work this evening.

Did you follow the instructions on the wiki for setting up TickIT?

addfiles is a native utility, not a JavaScript module: http://wiki.synchro.net/util:addfiles

it'll be in your system log where all the events are logged... TickIT is run as an event most of the time so sbbs logs it as an "evnt" line like seen in my log snippet...
