Hello Rob,
you're right: there is a lot I don't know about how BBS potential and
mechanisms, expecially about Command Shells and SysOp stuff, I'm sorry and your
patience and any help is really appreciated.
Here are my steps;
- I've changed IRC server/port in chat_sec.js directly, for not to rely on
modopts.ini IRC settings (otherwise first steps below do not work);
- I connect to BBS by a standard account having password = ircd-hybrid server
password, get to Chat section (C key) and activate IRC Cient (R key), it works
and IRC Client connect successfully to my personal irc server based on
ircd-hybrid;
- then, I re-connect to BBS and login by SysOp account, having a different
password than the one of ircd-hybrid;
- If I get to Chat section (C key) and activate IRC client (R key), I obviously
can connect to ircd-hybrid server but get "Bad Password" in this case;
- therefore, following the instructions in SysOp menu (! key), I enter the
command in the bottom line of the Main page (and this is where my fundamental
lack of knowledge and correct understanding of command shell comes out...),
just after the names of current group and subgroup: !EXEC ?irc.js -p IRCPWD
- the IRC Module 1.62 starts but it does return the error: !Javascript irc.js
line 126: Error: can't convert irc-port to an integer
Just as a note, my whole knowledge about BBS in general and Synchronet comes
from the Wiki, of course, and this tutorial page:

Thank you very much
