• Inactive connection

    From LEE WESTLAKE@2:250/6 to g00r00 on Thu Mar 18 00:22:53 2021
    Hi g00r00,

    When a mystic session times out whilst waiting on a "[þ] More: (Y)es, (N)o, (C)ontinuous?" prompt, it appears to dump the pending list's contents to the client before terminating.

    I've overridden the default inactivity prompt (#136) in an attempt to display
    a custom time out screen, but a paused list still appears to get dumped
    before the session is terminated.

    Do you know a way to prevent further output once prompt #136 has been displayed?

    Best Regards

    i responded to one of Lee's apposed (i think elsewhere.. maybe not?!) and can reproduce this behavior as well.

    What list are you speaking of? The exit isn't always immediate but if you let me know the specific place I can try to improve it for you.

    The user listing would be one such example:

    If the user list extends across multiple screens and the session happens to timeout whilst waiting on the "[þ] More: (Y)es, (N)o, (C)ontinuous?" prompt, the pending user data is dumped to the client after the inactivity prompt (#136) has already been invoked.

    Ideally, prompt #136 should be the last data sent to the client prior to session termination.

    Many thanks for looking into this issue.

    Best Regards

    Okay thanks I've changed the user list so it won't bleed text on inactivity. If you notice anywhere else let me know!
