Even though I havent seen anything lately that would indicate it was necessary I went ahead and performed a cvs update. When I ran make it compiled everything and all looks good. The only thing i noticed is that now when I log on after the bulletins menu I get a cant find ../text/menu/random.asc. Not a major problem but I wasnt seeing that before. So is this something new or did something change when it recompiled even thoug I havent seen anything that shows any changes other then the last few to sbbsecho? The only other changes would be updates to linux.

Ya, the most recent logon.js added bbs.menu("random*"); on line 145 ... you could put a random1.asc in ../text/menu or add if(bbs.menu_exists("random*)) bbs.menu("random*"); to logon.js

There's got to be something more than that going on. I don't have
a random.* file in /sbbs/text/menu , and I don't see that error
message.

Not sure what's going on there.

Yeah it went away again now. My bigger curiosity is what triggerd the recompile when no source code seemed to be updated?

Sounds like your sbbs version is not current while your exec/logon.js is current.

According to your message metadata, you're running an sbbs build from May: Synchronet 3.18a-Linux May 31 2020 GCC 5.5.0
Try updating?

DigitalMan, I think we've gotten crossed up on quoting levels...
It was Melkor who originally had the problem, I was just saying
there above that there must be something else going on with him,
because I am not seeing that error message (and don't have a
"random*" file in /sbbs/text/menu ...

I did an update yesterday, and all is fine here (before and
after). ;-)
