    ew> Hi   
    ew>   
    ew> I've setup Mystic BBS, and am wondering if it is possible to trigger   
    ew> Mystic BBS to reconfigure instead of me needing to take the BBS down and   
    ew> then start it again?   
      
   I'll explain how it works in the current version:   
      
   The configuration is loaded for each BBS node whenever a user connects, but the   
   base configuration used by the servers (ie settings used by MIS itself) are   
   only loaded when MIS starts up.   
      
   This means if you change anything specific to any of the servers or any of the   
   system directories (which shouldn't change often) then the servers must be   
   restarted.   
      
   You can change most general settings, edit groups, echomail groups/nodes,   
   msg/file bases and so on without having to restart.   
      
   May I ask what settings in particular you want to automatically update in MIS?   
   I'll see if I can get them to automatically recycle but some of the settings   
   (mostly just paths and server settings) will likely always require the server   
   to be recycled.  I think the biggest pain point is that the events do not   
   update on their own without a recycle in the current version.
