   Greetings g00r00!   
      
   Friday December 30 2022 21:36, you wrote to me about an urgent matter!:   
      
    gr>  * Forwarded from area 'MYSTIC'   
    RS>> I decided a brand new VM with ubuntu, fresh install mystic and   
    RS>> worked as expected, copied over my working mystic bbs minus   
    RS>> executables and I get the errors from previous message.  So has   
    RS>> to be something in the working   
      
    gr> I would suggest that you do the install fresh as you mentioned, and   
    gr> then try copying over things slowly to see when it breaks.  It could   
    gr> be that there is a "Pi" executable still there.   
      
    gr> Another possible issue is that your paths in your old configuration do   
    gr> not much the paths in your new configuration.  If they are not   
    gr> identical, then you'd have to try to find all the places in the   
    gr> configuration and change them to the correct locations.   
      
    gr> Also do you see anything in the log files when you try to run it?  Or   
    gr> anything in the errors.log?   
      
   I do not see anything in the logs.. The paths should be the same /mystic  I can   
   now get mystic -cfg to work (turned out I did have a couple pi executables   
   remain qwkpoll and couple others, took care of that did a whole fresh install   
   on a new ubuntu machine.   
      
   now when I run ./mystic -l I simply get a blank screen that just says "busy"   
   and have to ctrl c to get prompt back. ./mis starts and runs and appears fine.   
   Not sure what to check next to be honest.  I can start another vm and try again   
   but I am pretty sure thats the definition of insanity! lol   
      
   Thank you for your help
