Hi Kevin,
KK> Binkley 260A has lost it's mind over here. I have downlinks that are
KK> on "hold" because they poll or I dilivier via the internet.
Boy, its been a LONG time (8+ years???) since I used Dial Scripts to access the
Internet from Bink, so some of my memory may be stuck back in time and have
faded some what......;-) I can't find any of my old config for this around so
if I remember correctly you need a Binkley Event file entry to run an event
that causes Binkley to need to poll a Node via a Dialer Script that does the
dialing work.
The first thing I thought of is that as your events start after midnight, that
suggests to me that Bink is re-reading your Events file at this time, and thats
when things start going wrong, so something has likely changed in your events
files thats causing this. The fact its a dialer script is probably a red
herring, the critical part is "Why is the event being triggered in the first
place?", and the driver for that is within your Events file.
Roll back any recent changes you made to that file, also look for any events
that might overlap in execution BEGIN/END time, particularly for things running
past 24:00 hrs. If nothing is obvious, the next step is to clear out Binks
compiled schedule and force a complete Binkley restart to see what happens.
So to roll things back to the very start (this process will re-run ALL events
for today so be very careful), end Binkley, delete the Binkley.SCD file (this
forces Binkley to "re-compile" that file and run EVERYTHING up until the
"current" event time), then start Binkey again. What you want to see are which
EVENTS are being run, and when they kick in. The Binkley LOG file for this will
give you the clues...
I suspect this may not show much at all, because it seems your problem may
relate to the LAST EVENT OF THE DAY being run, so your problem wont be visible
until Binkley does a natural roll over of the day. Also consider event entries
which have recently been added or changed, or which have only just become
ACTIVE (IE an event set to run after a certain date/time/day of week, etc...).
Lastly, a postig a copy of your .EVT file here may be useful.
Good luck..............pk.
