I have a one line BAJA program I am trying to run when someone first
connects to a node of my BBS. I named it CMATRIX.SRC and .bin ...

EXEC_XTRN MATRIXC
which loads an external door, of a matrix code screensaver.

This works when I ;EXEC it from within my BBS or run it off a menu.

It doesn't when I put EXEC:CMATRIX with @'s as the first line of
answer.asc , which was my rigged plan.

It says "Time's up." and hangs up immediately.
The board continues fine when I don't try execing this on (pre?)login.

When compiling my .src, I have tried to use EXEC and EXEC_INT and other
ways to run this program as a door or bash script. In SCFG, I have tried
using TLEFT 0 as a requirement and setting suspend/free time as a door option.
And anything else that sounded timey or releases restrictions.

Where/what to set?

I think my trouble is getting synchronet to run external doors with extra
time or allowed requirements, on immediate connect. I'm running it from
inside my answer.asc, I can run it another way if it's possible..

Should I try to stuff it in the login matrix.src somewhere and recompile?

Plz help, this will go a long way with other mods and tricks.

Thank you for your time.
