Why am I posting this...
Anyway would love to have a way to read bbs logs while inside the bbs, logs
mean all ./sbbs & ./echocfg
Just a thought...

One way would be to use the ;SHELL command. On Linux this drops you
to a command line where you could use normal commands to read logs
(less, tail, cat, grep, etc...).
Also, in a fresh v3.18b install, there's an "Operator" general text files section which includes links to logs (e.g. sbbsecho.log) once FidoNet has been setup. You can easily mimick that setup on your own.

True, agreed but a fast way would just be a option to read logs option like
the Mystic Sysop.
Most likely the greatest leap forward with SBBS was adding ./echocfg to sysop
menu. now how about a logs option.

Coudl you post some pointers to re-creating this on an older install?

The Sysop menu also has commands to read some of the files, you could also use the ;EDIT command if you know the path and filename.
Here, Greg, I slapped together a basic Synchronet log getter thingy ... it basically works (on my linux & winbloz systems)
save_as mods/whatever.js and execute ;exec ?whatever.js

not on my board it doesn't ... I commented out ;DOS ;SHELL
commands as a security precaution :-P
(those commands also work on winbloz)
A simple configuration. Anyone could do that at any time.

Being I upgraded and don't have the one command in the sysop text area could
you show a example of what the command is for a new install and maybe I can
go from that point forward.

Kewl I'll give it a spin!
