• chksetup.js

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Sat Jan 11 19:50:59 2020
    I just wanted to direct the attention of Synchronet sysops to exec/chksetup.js:

    You can run this script from an OS command prompt using jsexec, like so: "jsexec chksetup"

    It will report any common issues found with your Synchronet configuration and data. If you want more detailed output about discovered issues, you can increase the verbosity with the "-v" option ("jsexec chksetup -v").

    An ideal Synchronet setup will report "No issues discovered" when running chksetup.js

    Interesting:

    !User #16 has a disallowed password


    How can a user enter a disallowed password if it's disallowed? I'm sure I didn't put any config in after they created their account. How would I
    check? It looks like they created their account through the HTTP interface,
    so maybe this is more an echicken thing?

    Yeah, and that could've been fixed (e.g. in ecWeb, if that's the cause) since the user account was created.

    I lost Internet connectivity for a bit here this afternoon. I think that triggered that error. Try again?

    you can increase the verbosity with the "-v" option ("jsexec chksetup -v").

    i'm not seeing any difference between no "-v" and with "-v"... i updated just a few days ago...

    // $Id: chksetup.js,v 1.9 2020/01/06 00:14:17 rswindell Exp $

    the only other thing is that mine always tell me that my sbbslist.json entry for my system is different than the one on vert... i suspect this may be due to my event which updates my entry... it is possibly being executed after the update is sent to vert... i'll have to look at that and see if that's the case... perhaps this particular check can be enhanced to show the actual differences between the two?

    Depending on what issues are found, that's often the case.

    Perhaps, though, that's not a simple thing to do.

    oh, ok... i was expecting to see a little more diagnostic info... not debug but just more details about what was happening at that stage...

    entry for my system is different than the one on vert... i suspect this

    i'm guessing you're responding to my question about showing the differences... i'm probably thinking in linux-style too much... i was thinking of saving the file pulled from vert for the check and then diffing it with the local one but yeah, i can see how there may be differences even doing that... plus i don't think that diff comes with winwhatever... i'll think about that some more and still have to look at my event times to see when my update of my local bbslist entry is performed vs when it is sent to vert for updating the master list there... i may be running the event which updates locally more than once through the day, too... just not sure ATM...

    shorten it? seems legit...

    FWIW: i can't see it from here because i'm on the other side of the QWK<->FTN gateway so your message here has your QWK origin line in it... but do you really need to list connection protocols and domains in your origin lines? they
    are generally used to list just the system name and possibly city/country location...

    Shorten the QWK tagline(s), otherwise, they'll wrap when displayed on 80-column terminal.

    Yeap i will change it, are the limit up to 80 characters? maybe scfg

    Ideally, 79 characters. It's not a strictly-enforced limit, just a suggestion for nice readability on the majority of (80-col) terminals.
